Succession‘s Kieran Culkin spilled backstage how the whole bet came about with his wife Jazz Charton for a third child, if he won the Emmy (which he did tonight).
During his acceptance speech, Culkin shouted out to his wife a big thanks for their “two amazing kids” before adding, “Jazz, I want more. You said ‘maybe’, if I win!” And the audience erupted in delighted cheers.
“Couple of months ago –I’ve been asking for a while– and my wife Jazz said, ‘Maybe, if you win the Emmy. Ha, ha,” he shared backstage.
“And I didn’t bring it up for months and then when I won the Globe, I said ‘Remember what you said?’ She was like, ‘What? No, I don’t remember this.’ So, I told her and it all came back to here. She spent the whole week being nervous,” the Emmy drama lead actor continued.

Then, sounding a lot like his Succession alter ego Roman Roy, Culkin, quipped, “Instead of talking to her in private like a human, I just blasted her onstage, which was very rude.”
Culkin was asked to expound on the importance of his mother in his life:
“She’s just an absolutely wonderful woman who took on raising seven kids in a studio apartment, by herself. There was a guy there — he didn’t do anything,” he said.
“I didn’t know that I wanted to be a parent, but the moment that I knew I was going to become a father, I knew I wanted to become the parent that she was,” he added.
“I’m going to stop talking before I cry.”
HBO’s Succession won six Emmys tonight for its final season.

Kieran Culkin is opening up about what was happening with Jesse Eisenberg at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival!
Pending Woody Allen’s final and absolute cancellation, few directors have emerged to take his place as an erudite and literary artist whose work combines snappy wordplay, base sex jokes and a philosophical willingness to stare into the abyss. Jesse Eisenberg staked a tentative claim to that throne with his 2022 debut When You Finish Saving the World, an amiable but scrappy political satire about a left-wing mother and son, but his follow-up makes a stronger case, being much more adult, less broadly scripted, and as depressing as Woody Allen circa Stardust Memories (which his sophomore film as director obliquely resembles, with its talk of chance, fate and irony).
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic More actors than ever are now stepping behind the camera to take a shot at directing. To me, they always end up falling into one of three categories. There are the ones who simply aren’t very good at it.
Rebecca Rubin Film and Media Reporter Jesse Eisenberg’s “A Real Pain,” one of the buzziest movies to premiere so far at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, has sold to Searchlight in a huge $10 million deal. Given the warm reception in Park City, the film sparked a bidding war among several distributions to land global rights. Eisenberg directed “A Real Pain” in addition to starring alongside Kieran Culkin.
EXCLUSIVE: The dealmaking has begun. Searchlight Pictures closed the first major deal on the ground at the Sundance Film Festival — $10 million for WW rights for A Real Pain, directed and written by Jesse Eisenberg. He stars with freshly minted Emmy winning Succession star Kieran Culkin as mismatched cousins David and Benji. They reunite for a tour of Poland to honor their grandmother, but older tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family’s history. The film will get a big theatrical release later this year.

be him. Benji blurts out totally inappropriate comments that other people could never get away with.
PARK CITY – There are multiple meanings to the title of Jesse Eisenberg’s latest directorial effort, “A Real Pain.” There is the pain that cousins Benji Kaplan (Eisenberg) and David Kaplan (Keiran Culkin) are experiencing over the passing of their beloved grandmother and there is the pain Benji is feeling over a horrifying incident in his cousin’s life. The most pressing example, however, is in David’s soul.
Stephen Rodrick Jesse Eisenberg‘s “A Real Pain” stars Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as mismatched New York Jewish cousins. They’re on a trip to Poland in search of the life that their recently dead grandmother lived before the Holocaust. Benji is a buttoned up neurotic on OCD medicine while David is a charming fuckup with no prospects but a mouth that is equally hilarious and malignantly obnoxious.
