Macaulay Culkin's 'AHS' Character Has 'Crazy, Erotic Sex' with Kathy Bates

Here’s a detail we didn’t expect to hear today: Macaulay Culkin‘s American Horror Story character is going to have crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates‘ character for the upcoming season.

“I have always loved Macaulay Culkin‘s work,” showrunner Ryan Murphy told E! News. “I loved everything that he’s done, I love the stuff he did in Home Alone, I also loved the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn’t worked in a while.”

“So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said OK,” he continued. “[When] I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, ‘OK, here’s the pitch.’ And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, ‘This sounds like the role I was born to play.’ So, he signed up right then and there.”

Kathy, 71, is a regular on American Horror Story, while this will be 31-year-old Macaulay‘s first stint on the show. The season’s theme has not been announced yet, but the core cast has!

Kathy Bates Says She 'Cherishes' For Oscar Nomination For Best Supporting Actress

Kathy Bates hits the red carpet in a chic suit at the 2020 Academy Awards on Sunday (February 9) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The 71-year-old actress is up for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Richard Jewell.

In a recent interview, Kathy opened up about cherishing her fourth nomination at the annual award show and how she persevered throughout her 50 year career.

“You know when I started this, people said you’re not a movie star type and they kept saying don’t expect to do well,” she shared. “But I think because I’m a character actor…because I look not like a movie star people feel like they can relate.”

This marks Kathy‘s third nomination as Best Supporting Actress. She won Best Actress for Misery in 1991.

FYI: Kathy wore Stuart Weitzman shoes.
