Actor Macaulay Culkin spoke on a podcast about his friendship with Michael Jackson during his youth. Culkin told listeners that in his view, there wasn’t anything inappropriate going on and that it was a normal friendship.

“For me, it’s so normal and mundane. I know it’s a big deal to everyone else, but to me, it was a normal friendship,” Culkin said, via the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast. “He reached out to me because a lot of things were happening, big and fast with me and I think he identified with that.”
