Kieran Culkin Reminds Wife of Promise to Give Him Four Kids if He Wins an Oscar: ‘Let’s Get Crackin’’

EXCERPT:

CULKIN: “I have to thank my wife Jazz for absolutely everything. Please don’t play the music, because I want to tell a really quick story about Jazz. About a year ago, I was on a 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 because she didn’t think I was going to win. But — and people came up to her and were like, you know, really annoying her, I think it got to her. But anyway, after the show we’re walking through a parking lot, she’s holding the Emmy, she's trying to find the car — Emily, you were there, you're our witness — and she goes, 'Oh, God, I did say that. I guess I owe you a third kid.' And I turned to her, I said, 'Really, I want four.' And she turned to me, I swear to God this happened, this was just over a year ago, she said, 'I will give you four when you win an Oscar.' 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 to say to you, Jazz, love of my life, ye of little faith —

(Laughter)

No pressure. I love you. I’m really sorry I did this again. And let's get crackin' on those kids. What do you say?"
