"Look, I’m going to start by saying this, and it’s not just any phrase, it’s the truth: he never did anything to me. I never saw him do anything. I have no reason to remain silent, especially at this high point in which we find ourselves. Man is no longer among us. And in any case, I’m not going to say it would look good or anything like that, but it is true that now would be a good time to talk. If I had something to say, I would, but I don’t have it. I never saw anything. He never did anything" these were Macaulay’s statements.

The last time the 39-year-old actor saw Michael Jackson was in the trial against him where he was charged with abusing a 13-year-old boy who was sick with cancer, in court Culkin witnessed the pop singer who was acquitted of all charges. The actor also opened to tell a story that happened recently.

"I ran into James Franco on a plane. We’d met two or three times over the years. I greeted him with a gesture as we put the bags in the cabin compartments. How are you? Well, you? Typical... It was right after 'Leaving Neverland' came out and he said to me, 'Go with the documentary'. That was it. I replied: 'Aha', and I was silent. He kept insisting: 'What did you think about what counts? '. I turned around and said, 'Would you like to talk about your dead friends right now? '. He answered me timidly that he did not, and then I told him that I had been good to see him and I left, "was the anecdote about the American actor.
