For over 30 years, Home Alone films have been part of the Christmas traditions of children and adults around the world.
– Easy to answer yes
It was already 1990 when we were introduced to the mischievous and charming Kevin McCallister, played by Macaulay Culkin (43).
After an argument with “the whole” family, Kevin wakes up in an empty house and believes he has made his family disappear.

Throughout the film, viewers witness the ten-year-old’s many antics and inventions to scare off a couple of robbers.
More than 30 years have passed since Kevin was forgotten by the family, and since then a lot has happened in the lives of the actors.

Macaulay Culkin (43)
Culkin was only ten years old when he became famous overnight. He also starred in the sequel “Home Alone”. For many years he was one of the highest paid kids in the world, but then things calmed down.
For about a decade, Culkin did not appear on screen in any new projects. He simultaneously became legally emancipated from his parents at the age of 14.

In the 2010s, Culkin made headlines in numerous media outlets for his alleged heroin abuse.
Recently, the 43-year-old has made a comeback, appearing in various films and TV series. In 2019, he starred in the film “Changeland”, where he met his current girlfriend, Brenda Song. The couple has two children together.
On December 1st of this year he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
– Very special
Catherine O’Hara (69)
When O’Hara appeared as Kevin’s mother, Kate McCallister, she was already an established actress. O’Hara made her acting debut in 1975, at the age of 21.
Following the success of the film, the 69-year-old has appeared in several popular films and TV series. “Home Alone” isn’t the only Christmas movie in which she appeared: in 1993 she provided the voice of Sally Shock in “A Nightmare before Christmas.”

John heard
Heard played Kevin’s father, Peter McCallister, in both Home Alone films. The actor accepted the role because he was the father of a young child at the time and wanted to be able to bring his son to a film set where he could play with other children.

In addition to starring in the first two “Home Alone” films, Heard has also appeared in films and television projects such as “Beaches,” “Gladiator,” “Miami Vice” and “The Sopranos.” For the latter she received an Emmy nomination.
In 2017, according to The Independent, the sad news broke that the actor had been found dead in a hotel room in California, where he was said to have remained following a minor back operation.
Breaking the silence: – No regrets
Joe Pesci (80)
Pesci appeared as the bandit Harry Lime in the first two Home Alone films. Together with his companion Marv Merchants, he tries to enter the McCallister house.
Over the course of the film, the two are exposed to a number of Kevin’s well-thought-out inventions. It was probably impossible not to laugh when the two bandits fell for the ten-year-old’s many pranks.

Last year, however, Pesci was able to reveal that this happened shortly before something went wrong during filming, when his character’s hat caught fire.

Pisces is 80 years old today and has been married three times. He also has a daughter, Tiffany.
