Kieran Culkin has revealed a surprising truth regarding his first acting role as a kid star.
On the newest edition of the Smartless podcast, the Succession star discussed his first acting assignment, which was a commercial at the age of six.
Kieran responded: "The first professional experience I had was a commercial when I was 6, and I don't quite know what it was for, but it was for something to do with learning disabilities."
"The concept was I'm standing in front of a chalkboard with chalk in my hand and I don't know how to solve the easy thing in front of me," says the 42-year-old.
Kieran said to the podcast hosts, "And the kids in the class are supposed to be calling me a dummy and stupid, all that."
The Home Alone 2 actor stated that he had a "distinct memory of being there," as well as the "director going 'Okay action'".
"And he begins saying, 'Dummy. Idiot. "Stupid," said Kieran.
The actor described it as "a harsh treatment" for a young actor like himself at the time.
"I'm thinking, 'I understand.'" I am six. Stand here and seem melancholy. I am not method. I am six. "What's wrong with you?" Kieran inquired.

Earlier in his interview with the Los Angeles Times, the actor discussed his on-screen debut as a seven-year-old in the 1990 Christmas classic Home Alone, with his elder brother Macaulay Culkin.
"I had no idea what that movie was about when I saw it, and I was in it," he joked.
Kieran said, "I was there the premiere and I was dying laughing. It was the funniest thing I've ever seen. I didn't know what the movie was about."
