This Celeb's Birthday Is Officially Making Millennials Feel Ancient

Millennials (and their Baby Boomer parents), buckle up – many of us are about to feel really, really old, according to a Reddit post shared in r/popculturechat. In the pop culture-loving subreddit, user u/Giancarlo_Edu pointed out that Home Alone star Macaulay Culkin is now officially “born 45 years ago”, a fact that left commenters pretty taken aback. The star, who was born on 26 August 1980, hit the milestone today (26 August 2025).Happy birthday to him. Solemn reflections on the nature of time for us, I guess.“I don’t know how old I thought he was, but it wasn’t 45,” Redditor u/Rainyserenity wrote under the post.“Same! I thought he was like 34,” u/lolascrowsfeet agreed, while u/johnmichael-kane replied with a GIF of Jamie Lee Curtis in Freaky Friday clutching her face and saying “I’m old”.It’s not that 45 is old, of course, it’s more that most commenters remember Culkin as a kid in his hit films. “He’s forever Kevin McCallister to me!” wrote u/JHereOnCompanyTime. To help dispel that image, though, u/Warm-Rock-4544 responded: “Macaulay is actually now about a year older than Jamie Lee Curtis was in this [Freaky Friday] scene.”They’re right – Curtis, who was born on November 22 1958, was 44 when Freaky Friday was filmed. She turned 45 in the year of the movie’s release (2003).I’m with u/boyproblems_mp3, who responded to the comment by saying: “This just wrecked my life.” Jamie Lee Curtis Other celebs who turn, or have turned, 45 this year include Ryan Gosling, Zooey Deschanel, Ben Whishaw, and Kristen Bell.
