Kieran Culkin previously revealed the 'reason' behind his stack of bracelets after fans spotted him donning them at the Golden Globe Awards 2025.
The Succession star rocked up to the prestigious awards ceremony this evening and wore his signature stack of bracelets - something he's previously spoken out about.
Speaking to Rolling Stone a few months back, Culkin revealed the reason behind them is 'usually not that interesting'.

"Some of them I take. Some of them people give me. Some of them I buy. Two of these have the names of my kids," he admitted before being asked his thoughts after finding out the plastic-beaded friendship bracelets have become a symbol of Taylor Swift and her fandom.
Culkin clearly wasn't aware of the association, telling the outlet: "See, I don’t even get the reference.
"People keep saying, ‘Oh, Taylor Swift…’ and I’m like, ‘I don’t even know what that means. I’ve been wearing tons of bracelets for, like, twenty years.’ They’re supposed to mean something? … I don’t know. I’ve never been to a Taylor Swift concert."
Since spotting Culkin this evening wearing the stack, fans have since rushed to social media to share their theories on the matter with one X user writing: "Kieran Culkin with the friendship bracelets on, THE ERAS TOUR LIVES ON."
"Obsessed with the stickers and bracelets on Kieran Culkin’s arm like okay divaaa," quipped a second.
A third chimed in: "Kieran Culkin’s friendship bracelets awww."
And another gushed: "I knew it!!! Kieran is going to win! He's wearing the lucky friendship bracelets as well!!!"
It’s clear the Golden Globe organisers were willing to splash the cash to put on a big spectacle for those attending and viewers watching at home.
Though, let’s be honest, those attending the event at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills will be having most of the fun.
The winners going home with the coveted gilded globe will get to walk away with their new, shiny doorstopper, as well as a goodie bag with up to $1 million dollars in gifts. Yep, you read that right.
As reported by Cosmopolitan, here are some of the other items that are part of the Globes goodie bag:
- A 'private flight and stay to see the Northern Lights in Finland' worth $48,000
- A three-night stay in a beachfront villa in Turks and Caicos worth $507,492
- A luxury yacht charter throughout Indonesia’s Coral Triangle worth $60,000
- A one-night stay at L'Ermitage Beverly Hills worth $1,500
- A three-night stay at the Ritz in Bali worth $5,800
- A wine-tasting experience in France worth $272,000
- The Pure Gold Radiance Concentrate serum from La Prairie worth $935
- A CurrentBody LED light therapy mask worth $469
- A bespoke suit from Italy worth $11,400
- Liquor, wine and cigars
There’s obviously more, but for the sake of our sanity, we’ll just stop there.
Some of these gifts are available to all those in attendance, while others — including a non-surgical Stemcell Facelift worth $40,000 — will go to one random person.
Will at least *some* of these luxury presents be gifted to the stars’ PAs who have been helping them all year round? Here’s hoping.
