Domingo continues — following proper journalistic protocol here — by inquiring about the other bracelets, “just because[it’s]very important.”
Culkin passed the beaded bracelets down his right wrist, identifying the provenance of each one: most from his children, others given to him by fans on occasion, and one he got in Mexico with his wife. He adds that he got at least a few by simply asking the previous owner of the bracelet if he would give it to him, as if it were the shirt he wore on his back.
“It’s funny. If you just ask people for things, sometimes they give them to you,” Culkin says, adding that he assembled this collection of bracelets over the course of about a month. When his wrists are full, he takes them off and starts over.
“I like that you remembered each one exactly,” Domingo says.
It appears that Culkin has been practicing his magpie-like grooming ritual for decades. (The same applies to his tendency to One-handed nail polish.) The meaning of the bracelets is the actor He said Rolling Stone Earlier this year, “It’s usually not that interesting. Some of them I take. Some of them people give me. Some of them I buy. Two of them have my kids’ names on them.” When the reporter explained to Culkin that plastic beaded friendship bracelets had become a symbol for Taylor Swift and her base Jamahiriya, objected to this association.
“Look, I don’t even get the reference,” Culkin told the magazine. “People keep saying, ‘Oh, Taylor Swift…’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t even know what that means.’ I’ve been wearing a lot of bracelets for about twenty years. They’re supposed to mean something? … I don’t know. Why I’ve never been to a Taylor Swift concert.
There’s no doubt that if he had, he would have been the smartest bracelet dealer the Eras Tour has ever seen.
