Kieran Culkin Shares How Death of Sister Dakota Culkin Affects Him Now
Kieran Culkin is reflecting on his bond with his late sister.
The Succession star—who grew up in New York City with his six siblings, including child star Macaulay Culkin—recently reflected on the difficulty of losing his sister Dakota Culkin in 2008 after she was struck by a car in Los Angeles.
“I only knew who I was because of who my siblings are,” Kieran told CBS Sunday Morning in an interview published Nov. 3. “So, to lose one was losing a big piece of myself.”
And the 42-year-old—who shares kids Kinsey Sioux, 5, and Wilder Wolf, 3, with wife Jazz Charton—explained that his grief is just something that he’s learning to live with.
“Losing one of my favorite people in the world, it doesn’t get better,” he continued. “It doesn’t get easier, but you get used to it.”
But even as he has grown up in both life and his career, Kieran—who portrayed Roman Roy in HBO’s Succession from 2018 to 2023—has made sure to carry Dakota’s influence with him.
