Macaulay Culkin appears to be sick in public outside Chateau Marmont

Recent pictures appear to show Macaulay Culkin in anything but good health, as he feels the urge to be sick in public.

Macaulay Culkin was pictured looking pale and nauseous outside Chateau Marmont on Friday, in the first pictures of the 31-year-old since he denied claims in the National Enquirer that the former child star is “hooked on heroin”.

Macaulay Culkin, who now works as a DJ, was seen wearing grey jeans and a plait shirt.

The actor wore an unbuttoned black jacket and hid beneath a pair of shades, accessorizing with orange nail polish and a sprinkling of gold rings.

His blonde hair was flicked back and his stubble was growing out into a beard and moustache.

Macaulay Culkin was seen clutching his stomach as he looked ready to throw-up.

As Macaulay Culkin moved towards the bush, he leaned his head over the greenery and despite initially looking overwhelmed by the need to be sick, he just spat and cleared his mouth out instead.

After his momentary indiscretion, he walked to a friend’s car while puffing on a cigarette.

Macaulay Culkin has been plagued by rumors recently that he is on a downward spiral of drug addiction and has just “six months to live”.

The actor is rumored to be struggling against heroin addiction and addiction to painkillers.

His spokesperson was forced to deny claims published by the National Enquirer last week that the Uncle Buck star has a $6,000-a-month drug habit.

His representatives branded the tabloid article “ridiculously fictitious” and “insulting”.

The allegations said Macaulay Culkin regularly shoots up heroin and addictive painkiller oxycodone (dubbed hillbilly heroin).

The report went on to claim Macaulay Culkin turned his Manhattan apartment into a drug den.

The National Enquirer claims Macaulay Culkin’s alleged drug use intensified 18 months ago – around the time he split from long-term girlfriend Mila Kunis, who is now dating Ashton Kutcher.
