An actor from the iconic Christmas movie Home Alone has swapped red carpets for green pastures, finding refuge on a serene farm away from the glitz of Hollywood.
In what’s become an enduring favorite, featuring heavyweights like Academy Award winner Joe Pesci alongside the beloved Macaulay Culkin, this warm-hearted film is part of the festive fabric.
Its sequel, ‘Lost in New York,’ brought in esteemed actors Tim Curry and Rob Schneider, joining forces with John Heard and Catherine O’Hara for more yuletide escapades. Yet, one celebrated star has opted for tranquillity over theatricals, keeping fans updated with his newfound passion via social media.
Recently, Twitter/X lit up with excitement as a video featuring Daniel Stern appeared; the actor known for his role as the clumsy bandit Marv Murchins, whose screen time opposite Pesci was nothing short of legendary – it’s even rumored the duo still share a close bond.
Stern, now 67, hasn’t bid farewell to acting completely but has embraced sculpting at his ranch with open arms. A viral TikTok, under the handle @realdanielstern0, gave followers a glimpse of his artistry, revealing his latest masterpiece.
As the screen capture spread across Twitter/X, one enthusiastic user added: “Marv from Home Alone lives on a farm and is a sculptor. Look guys!” As fans marvel at Stern’s artistic talents online, his quieter life underscores a dramatic shift from his days amid Home Alone’s recognizable cast.
Several users were quick to correct the original poster, with one stating: “This is not simply ‘Marv from Home Alone,’ this is the LEGEND known as Daniel Stern.”
The majority of the responses and quote-tweets were filled with admiration for Stern’s latest work, a sculpted woman resting on a chair. One user commented that the video demonstrates Stern has “serious talent” for sculpting, while another dubbed the actor a “talent”.
Stern has continued his acting career but has also ventured into sculpture, creating pieces for public art projects across the United States. Another user expressed: “I had no idea what happened to Marv, but this made me happy to see. That dress and the detail is pretty awesome btw!” One user fondly recalled their favourite moments from Stern’s career while also commending his newfound passion for sculpting.
They added: “This man literally brought tears to my eyes in Home Alone 2. Omg, the first person to make me have tears from laughter. It was the brick scene and the way he reacted to it. I will always respect him. Great work by the way.”
Some were amazed by the intricacies of the sculpture and questioned whether it was attached to the chair. One wrote: “Wow, when I first glanced down I thought that was real fabric and wondered how long it took. Then I still wondered how long it took! Is she attached to that chair? Or can the sculpture be placed on any surface that tall?!”
