Where are the cast of Home Alone now, 35 years later?
The film remains a festive staple all these years on – but what became of its stars?
Incredibly, it's been three-and-a-half decades since Home Alone first arrived in cinemas – and all these years later, the film remains one of the staples of festive viewing.
While there have been a number of sequels and spin-offs over the years – most recently a fairly disastrous reboot in 2021 – and original star Macaulay Culkin has even recently been pitching a possible new sequel, in truth none on the later films have got anywhere near to the quality of the first two.
With that in mind, you might be wondering what the cast of that original film are up to now? Of course, there have been some huge success stories, perhaps none more so than Macualay's brother Kieran Culkin, who has made an excellent transition from child star to adult actor by winning both an Emmy and an Oscar in recent years.
But what of the rest of them – read on for everything you need to know about the cast of Home Alone and where they are now.
