Ryan Murphy: Macaulay Culkin will have "crazy, erotic sex" with Kathy Bates on American Horror Story

E! Online

Murphy tells E! News how Culkin ended up getting cast on Season 10. "I loved everything that he's done, I love the stuff he did in Home Alone, I also loved the sort of the older, more recent stuff that he did. And he hasn't worked in a while," says Murphy, adding: "So, I have this very, very great insane part. And I asked to speak to him on the phone and he said OK. (When) I cast, I never let people read things, usually. I said, 'OK, here's the pitch.' And I told them the character and I told him he has crazy, erotic sex with Kathy Bates and does other things. And he paused and he goes, 'This sounds like the role I was born to play.' So, he signed up right then and there." Murphy adds that he can't wait till the coronavirus shutdown is over so he can work with Culkin. "There's both a lightness and a darkness with Macaulay Culkin that I'm attracted to," he says.
