On Sunday, Kieran Culkin, the acclaimed actor and recent Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actor, made headlines not just for his win but for a humorous and heartfelt speech that hinted at expanding his family. Culkin, who has been married to Jazz Charton since 2013, used his acceptance speech to playfully propose having more children. His remarks, filled with humor and censored expletives, drew laughter and applause from the audience. The 42-year-old star also took time to thank his manager, director Jesse Eisenberg, and fellow nominee Jeremy Strong, whose work he praised in a mostly censored manner. Culkin referenced his previous Emmy Awards speech where he had publicly expressed a desire for another child, revealing that his wife's initial promise was made under the assumption he wouldn't win. Now, with an Oscar in hand, Culkin is once again asking for more children, much to the amusement of those watching.

Culkin's journey to this moment began long before he stepped onto the stage at the Oscars. Known for his roles in both film and television, including his part in the hit show "Succession," Culkin has established himself as a versatile talent. During his acceptance speech, he reflected on past experiences, particularly referencing his 2024 Emmy Awards victory. At that time, he had publicly declared his wish for a third child, a statement that initially annoyed his wife, Jazz Charton. However, it led to an unexpected twist when Charton admitted she would indeed owe him a third child after all. Culkin didn't stop there; he even jokingly suggested expanding their family to four children if he were to win an Oscar. With this latest win, Culkin found himself revisiting the topic, asking his wife once again about their plans to grow their family.

In a candid moment during his speech, Culkin shared a story about walking through the parking lot after the Emmy Awards. Holding the award, Charton realized her offhand comment about having more children might now come true. Culkin seized the opportunity to ask for not just one more child but potentially up to four. He recounted how Charton responded with a playful challenge: "I will give you four when you win an Oscar." Fast forward to the Oscars, and Culkin found himself in the perfect position to revisit this promise. As cameras captured Charton laughing and covering her face in the audience, Culkin enthusiastically asked, "Let's get cracking on those kids?" Despite the public nature of these declarations, Culkin assured everyone that he hadn't brought up the topic until that very moment, adding a touch of humor and sincerity to his speech.

The couple, who already share two children, Kinsey Sioux and Wilder Wolfe, seemed to embrace the lighthearted nature of Culkin's proposal. While the audience chuckled at his words, it was clear that Culkin's love for his family and his gratitude for his achievements shone through. By blending humor with genuine emotion, Culkin managed to create a memorable moment that resonated with viewers and highlighted the joy and unpredictability of life's milestones. His speech served as a reminder that success can bring unexpected opportunities and that sometimes, the best moments are those we least expect.
