Macaulay Culkin helpfully told folks to wear a mask. You should do My Young Master (2019) Korean moviethat. Seriously, wear a mask. Please. Please.

One more time for good measure: Please wear a mask, it's the absolute least you could do if you care about fellow human beings during this awful pandemic.

But despite the fine message, Culkin made his mask statement in, frankly, pretty creepy fashion. He wore a mask made to look like his famous screaming face in the classic movie Home Alone.

Here's what the mask looked like on Culkin, who is now 40 years old.

I mean look at that. Just look at it. Look at the scarily elongated fingers, the uncomfortably large mouth, the off-center nostrils.

It's funny and clever, for sure. And that's nothing new for the former child actor, who is funny and self-aware online. But still, there's some quite unsettling about an image of Culkin's child-self stretched to fit over his adult face.

Weirdly this reminded us of that time in 2014 when Culking wore a t-shirt of Ryan Gosling wearing a t-shirt of Macaulay Culkin.
