Freddie Prinze Jr. has shed light on a surprising friendship, revealing that he and Macaulay Culkin, the iconic child star of *Home Alone*, share a passion for gaming and a lot of laughs.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 48-year-old actor opened up about his virtual battles with Culkin, admitting that the latter is a "very good s--- talker." Prinze Jr. detailed a particularly funny exchange: "He said something very funny to me about one of the other players. I can't even say what it was, because that guy will see this and know it was him."
While keeping the specifics under wraps, the actor's account paints a picture of their shared gaming sessions, filled with playful banter and inside jokes. Prinze Jr. also delved into other aspects of his life, including his family life, date nights, and nostalgic moments.
When asked about scoring "dad points," Prinze Jr. joked, "Anytime I take my daughter [Charlotte, 14] shopping. I could just walk in the door and give my credit card and say, âThat looks nice.â" He also spoke about the importance of date nights with his wife, Sarah Michelle Gellar, stating that they try to make time for each other at least once a week. Last week, their date night consisted of a seafood feast, where they "ate every single thing on it, except the ice."

The actor's honesty extended to his vocal abilities, admitting that he "has the worst singing voice." Despite his lack of musical talent, he still finds a way to entertain his three dogs, each of whom has their own "theme music."
Prinze Jr.'s interview provides a glimpse into his life beyond the screen, showcasing his genuine humour, his love for family, and his enduring friendships from his days in Hollywood. It also highlights the importance of keeping things light-hearted, even in the face of fame and public scrutiny.
