Macaulay Culkin’s character in the forthcoming series of American Horror Story will have “crazy, erotic sex” with Kathy Bates, according to show creator Ryan Murphy.
Murphy has already revealed that Culkin will be joining the show for its tenth season, and that Kathy Bates, Leslie Grossman, Billie Lourd, Evan Peters, Adina Porter, Lily Rabe, Angelica Ross and Finn Wittrock will be returning.
Speaking with E! News, Murphy discussed the “insane part” that has been given to Culkin.
He said: “You know, it came about just because it’s how I always do things where I have always loved Macaulay Culkin’s work.
“I loved everything that he’s done, I love the stuff he did in Home Alone, I also loved the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn’t worked in a while.
“So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said ok. [When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually.”
But this time, he said, he made an exception.
He continued: “I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play’. So, he signed up right then and there.”
Murphy said he finds Culkin “fascinating and interesting”, and added: “I think he has a soul. There’s both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I’m attracted to.”
The new season of American Horror Story is ready to start filming once the industry comes back to life after the coronavirus pandemic.
This month, Leslie Jordan admitted that Lady Gaga “rode him” on the set of American Horror Story’s sixth season.
Jordan, 65, described on his “Pillow Talk” Instagram series that the scene unexpectedly saw Gaga kick, roll him over and then start riding the veteran actor while howling at the moon, Entertainment Weekly reported.
