Macaulay Culkin on the streets of Manhattan —displaying the kind of bizarre behavior that sparks fears of a return to his old druggie ways!

The drug overdose was no accident, though! A source claimed that the “Home Alone” child star, now 35,
had tried to kill himself! Macaulay said he had “nothing to live for,” said a friend in 2012. “His life’s at a dead end and his career’s in the toilet! He’s going to wind up dying of an overdose if he doesn’t get into rehab.”

Fortunately, Macaulay had taken steps to turn his life around. He gained weight and seemed healthier while trying to start a new rock band dedicated to recording songs about pizza. But the retired movie star was soon indulging in more weird antics.

“Mila saved Mac’s life,” said an insider. “She’s brought him back from the brink.” But Ashton, 38 — who married Mila, 32, last summer and has a one-year-old daughter with her — was said to be “stewing” over her relationship with Macaulay.

Other insiders were concerned about Macaulay reuniting with Mila — remembering how The ENQUIRER exposed how the troubled actor
had a mental meltdown in May of 2013 after he was rejected by the "70s Show" starlet. "Mac made a play for Mila, but she blew him off," revealed an insider. "After she spurned his advances, he went berserk!"

Macaulay wanted to rekindle their eight-year romance when the two met in London, but Mila was already dating Ashton. "Mac thought it was a great opportunity until Mila deep-sixed the idea," said an insider at the time.

Some of his pals insist that Macaulay only really turned to "hard stuff" — including heroin — after his 2011 split from Mila."She might be a really good friend," said a drug counselor, "but relying on someone who's disappointed you romantically doesn't provide a strong support system for recovery. You can only hope that someone like Macaulay is getting the help that he might really need!"
