I just set certain ground rules for myself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t approach me when I&#8217;m at the dinner table. I don&#8217;t like that. You know? Don&#8217;t approach me when I&#8217;m with my kids. Definitely don&#8217;t follow me to the bathroom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Macaulay insists that he&#8217;s actually &#8220;in charge of the interaction&#8221; with his fans.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I just realised that I&#8217;m in charge of the social contract. I&#8217;m in charge of the interaction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nBy contrast, Macaulay struggled to cope with the pressures of fame and success during his younger years.  <\/p>\n<p>\nThe Home Alone actor said: &#8220;It was a difficult, tricky waters to manoeuvre through and stuff like that because you don&#8217;t necessarily have the actual or emotional vocabulary to really kind of, you know, manoeuvre through those waters.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And I always kinda thought of myself as a peerless person. Like, I couldn&#8217;t turn left and right, like, know, like, and go, \u2018Oh, you&#8217;re like me.\u2019 &#8230; It was a, it was a very unique experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMacaulay began dating Brenda Song back in 2017, and he previously credited the actress for helping him to navigate the stresses and strains of fame.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe movie star &#8211; who was one of the most successful child actors of the 90s &#8211; told Brenda: &#8220;You\u2019re my champion, the only person happier for me today than I am. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;You\u2019re not only the best woman I\u2019ve ever known, you\u2019re the best person I\u2019ve ever known. You\u2019ve given me all my purpose.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nMacaulay is also glad that they&#8217;ve managed to keep their romance relatively low-key.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;That the public is like, \u2018Wait, they\u2019re together and they have kids?\u2019 Good.
