Daniel Stern: Last News

Brenda Song kept a tradition of watching Home Alone during the holidays, but watching it with her fiancé Macaulay Culkin might have “ruined” her experience.

Home Alone has finally revealed what Kevin McAllister’s parents had done for a living – specifically, to be able to afford such a big house in Chicago, as featured in the film.The five-bedroom, six-bathroom residence in Winnetka, Illinois has often been at the centre of discussion online, with fans of the 1990 festive film and its sequels questioning how the family were able to live in such a luxurious property.Now, director Chris Columbus has spoken about what the parents of Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin do for work to be able to afford the house in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast.Revealing the discussions he had with Home Alone screenwriter John Hughes about the characters’ backstories, he said: “Back then, John and I had a conversation about it, and we decided on what the jobs were.”Catherine O’Hara’s Kate McCallister, he revealed, “was a very successful fashion designer,” which he said is evidenced by the presence of mannequins in the house’s basement.John Heard’s Peter McCallister, meanwhile, he was less clear about. “The father could have, based on John Hughes’ own experience, worked in advertising, but I don’t remember what the father did.”He did, however, confirm that he did not have connections to a criminal underworld, which some have suggested is the reason that Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern’s Wet Bandits are drawn to the house.

Daniel Stern, famed for his role as the bumbling burglar Marv Murchins in Home Alone, has revealed that he hasn't fully watched the beloved Christmas film since its initial release in 1990. While he expressed his love for the film and his involvement, Daniel confessed to only watching glimpses by pure accident. The now-67 year old actor, who starred opposite Joe Pesci, reminisced with PEOPLE about the only times he sees Home Alone.

Home Alone fans are only just realising Robert de Niro turned down one of the film's most iconic roles.

With Christmas just days away, people across the world will be getting into the festive spirit with the help of some classic Christmas films. From Love Actually to Elf, among the long list of movies that are sure to get viewers feeling more than festive is the 1990 film Home Alone. But while viewers may be familiar with the plot of Kevin McCallister as he attempts to protect his family home from being robbed after being left alone over the holidays, they may be less familiar with what the cast are up to now.

Veteran actor Joe Pesci committed to the bit a little too much when he accidentally bit Macaulay Culkin‘s finger while shooting the 1990 Christmastime classic Home Alone.

Though he stars in one of the most popular Christmas movies of all time, Daniel Stern — who is best known for playing one of the Wet Bandits, Marv, in the classic 1990 holiday film “Home Alone” — prefers a quiet life away from the hustle and bustle of Hollywood.Earlier this week, Stern, who spends most of his time raising cattle and creating sculptures at his farm in Ventura, California, gave fans a sneak peek at what life has been like since stepping back from the entertainment industry.“Hello, as you will come to discover, I live on a farm, and we grow tangerines here,” Stern said in a TikTok video that has since gained a lot of attention.“I juice them up and then freeze them and give them away to my friends,” he continued before giving viewers a glimpse of his work station. Not only does Stern tend to his citrus and cattle, he is also a distinguished artist.In another video, Stern showed off an impressive sculpture he has been working on that portrays a woman lying on a chair.“Incredible work of art! Had no idea you were a sculptor,” one fan commented.

Home Alone fans are only just realising where one of the franchise's most iconic stars is now – and it's very different from his life 34 years ago, when the film was first released.
