Almost 35 years ago, young Kevin McCallister defended his family’s home from the «Wet Bandits». Three decades later, and after the sequel’s release in 1992, the «Home Alone» films have become an integral part of the holiday season. Following the success of the first film, the sequel «Home Alone 2: Lost in New York» became just as beloved as the original. These films not only established their child and adult actors as major comedy stars but also achieved much more.
With two holiday classics, the film spawned four additional sequels. «Home Alone 3», - released in 1997, did not feature any of the original actors or characters. «Home Alone 4: Taking Back the House» (2002) returned to Kevin McCallister and Marv, but the characters were recast for a television movie. «Home Alone: Holiday Heist» debuted on ABC Family in 2012 and also focused on a new family, without the involvement of the original actors. The latest sequel, «Home Sweet Home Alone», - was released on Disney+ in 2021. Like the later sequels, it introduces a new family and a fresh batch of characters.
Of course, these stars also paid tribute to their roots in the holiday films of the '90s. Over the years, families across the country have gathered to watch these classic films and other beloved Christmas movies. Let’s take a look at where the stars of the film, such as Macaulay Culkin and others, are now!
Macaulay Culkin was just 10 years old when «Home Alone» hit theaters on November 16, 1990. Two years later, he reprised his role as Kevin in the sequel «Home Alone 2: Lost in New York». But the young actor was already a true star! Macaulay grew up with many significant roles on his resume. In 1991, he starred in the touching film «My Girl» alongside Anna Chlumsky. After the wave of success he experienced at such a young age, fame began to take its toll on the young actor.
Macaulay struggled with addiction for a time but has since become sober. His career is also experiencing a resurgence, with roles in shows like «Dollface» and the tenth season of «American Horror Story». Macaulay dated actress Mila Kunis for nearly ten years before they broke up in 2010. Since 2017, he has been in a serious relationship with actress Brenda Song. On April 5, 2021, they welcomed their first child—a boy named after Macaulay’s late sister, Dakota, who passed away in 2018. At the end of 2022, Macaulay and Brenda welcomed their second son. Macaulay was with Brenda and their two children when he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on December 1, 2023. During the ceremony, Macaulay referred to Brenda and his children as his «three favorite people».
Joe Pesci was already a true legend when he took on the role of Harry in «Home Alone», - reprising it in the 1992 sequel. The actor won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his work in «Goodfellas», - which was released in the same year as «Home Alone"—what a range! Since then, Joe has continued to play cunning, authoritative characters in films like «Casino», - «My Cousin Vinny», - «The Good Shepherd», - and others.
Recently, Joe starred alongside Robert De Niro and Al Pacino in the Oscar-nominated film «The Irishman» in 2019. The film brought together three screen legends and renowned director Martin Scorsese. For his work, Joe was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 2020.
Daniel Stern was Joe Pesci’s right-hand man in «Home Alone» and «Home Alone 2». Daniel played the dim-witted Marv, who worked with Harry (Joe) to rob houses and create chaos during the holidays. Between the two films, Daniel appeared in the movie «City Slickers» alongside comedy legend Billy Crystal.
After the success of the «Home Alone» films, Daniel continued to take on small roles in both film and television. He appeared in Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut «Whip It» (2009), in the series «Manhattan» (2014), and played Bill Easton in a Hulu series
