Macaulay Culkin’s estranged father and step-mom worry that he’s “heavily into drugs”

Macaulay Culkin has been battled rumors from The National Enquirer that he’s deep into a heroin addiction, and now his estranged dad Kit Culkin and his wife are adding fuel to the fire.

Kit hasn’t seen his 31-year-old son in 15 years after a bitter legal fight over custody and money, but that doesn’t stop Kit and his wife Jeanette from speculating about Macaulay’s health. Jeanette told The Sun they’re afraid he’s dying of some disease or heavily into drugs.” Kit: “I hope that he has the right people looking after him.’

There have been some troubling photos of the star this year that fuel concern for everyone. In February Macaulay stepped out looking extremely gaunt, and just last week he was seen walking outside of Chateau Marmont looking nauseous, and then spitting into a bush.

If Macaulay is fine like his rep says, he should probably avoid being photographed outside the Chataue Marmont for a while, especially if he feels a bit sick. It’s impossible for an outsider to really know what’s going on here, but it certainly looks troubling.

Macaulay has suffered a great deal of loss recently. In 2008 Macaulay’s sister Dakota died after she stepped into an the path of a car, and in 2010 he ended an 8-year relationship with Mila Kunis.
