Daniel Stern Prefers Farm to Home Alone Anniversary

Home Alone actor Daniel Stern has revealed he will not participate in any events celebrating the film's 35th anniversary. Stern, who famously portrayed one of the 'Wet Bandits,' cited his preference for a reclusive lifestyle, stating he is now a "homebody" who rarely leaves his farm.

Stern has largely stepped away from Hollywood, now residing on a farm in Ventura County, California. There, he and his wife raise cattle and grow citrus trees, while he also pursues his passion as a sculptor. He remains appreciative of the film's lasting impact and fond memories of its creation, particularly John Hughes' humorous and emotional script.

Despite the iconic status Home Alone has achieved over the decades since its 1990 release, Stern expressed contentment in observing its success from afar. He acknowledged the film's ability to resonate with audiences globally, noting that while he knows people love it, the attention can sometimes feel overwhelming.
