Actor Kieran Culkin \u2014 whose career began in the “Home Alone” franchise in which he appeared as the younger cousin of his real life brother Macaulay Culkin \u2014\u00a0recently swept awards season<\/a> with a Golden Globe, a New York Film Critics Circle award, a SAG award, and the Academy Award<\/a> for Best Supporting Actor for his role in “A Real Pain.” He used his Oscars speech to remind his wife of their deal to have more children after he won.<\/p>\n

“I love you, Jazz,” he said to his wife, Jazz Charton. “… I have to thank my wife Jazz for absolutely everything, for giving me my favorite people in the world. Please don’t play the music ’cause I wanna tell a really quick story about Jazz.”<\/p>\n

He continued:<\/p>\n

About a year ago, I was on the stage like this, and I very stupidly, publicly, said that I want a third kid from her because she said if I won the award … she would give me the kid. Turns out she said that ’cause she didn’t think I was gonna win…. <\/em><\/p>\n

After the show we’re walking through a parking lot… we’re trying to find her car … and she goes, ‘Oh, God, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid.’ And I turned to her and I said, ‘Really, I want four.’ And she turned me \u2014 I swear to God this happened. It was just over a year ago \u2014 she said, ‘I will give you four when you win an Oscar.’ <\/em><\/p>\n

I held my hand out, she shook it, and I have not brought it up once until just now. You remember that, honey? You do? Okay, then I just have this to say to you, Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith. No pressure. <\/em>I love you. <\/em><\/p>\n

I’m really sorry I did this again. Let’s get cracking on those kids, whaddaya say? I love you.<\/em><\/p>\n
