Kieran Culkin has had a really busy month. He’s picked up a Golden Globe and an Emmy over the past two weeks, and now he’s at the Sundance Film Festival for the premiere of “A Real Pain,” a new comedy-drama in which he stars alongside director Jesse Eisenberg, and which at one point he tried to back out of.
“I did try to pull out of the film. I had just finished a long job…something you may have heard of, it was called ‘SUCK-cession,’” Culkin quipped at TheWrap’s Sundance Portrait and Interview Studio presented by NFP.
“I remember thinking, ‘Why am I doing this? Why am I going for five weeks?’” Culkin recalled.
