SHARE Macaulay Culkin not dead, makes goofy photo to prove it

Macaulay Culkin did not suck brick, and he wants you to know it.

As false rumors of his death circulated over the weekend, the “Home Alone” actor had a witty response.

On the Instagram feed of his band Pizza Underground, Culkin posed as a corpse being dragged by an Andy Warhol lookalike. The caption alludes to the 1989 comedy “Weekend at Bernie’s,” about guys presenting their dead boss as alive.

The very-much-alive Culkin is touring with the band, which covers Velvet Underground songs rewritten with pizza-themed lyrics. Pizza Underground is scheduled to play the Double Door on Nov. 29 with Har Mar Superstar.
