An 11-year-old was told he looked like Jevin McCallister from Home Alone when he was growing up and even received comments from nurses about the resemblance while in hospital. Now Tyler Stringer is around the same age as the main character in the film - so he’s recreated Kevin’s iconic pose.
Tyler has always been told that he looked like Kevin, played by a young Macaulay Culkin. The 1990 film has become a firm favourite with families at Christmas time, as it follows the antics of little Kevin who’s been left behind when his family leave to go on holiday to France.
Although he hasn’t been left home alone over Christmas before, Tyler’s mum, Emie Di Marino, did say that he shares a personality with Kevin. When Tyler and his mum recently watched the film she got him to pose like Kevin - and he looked just like the film’s star.

Pulling the same expression as the film’s posters, the resemblance is uncanny. Even Tyler’s hair colour matches Kevin’s.
Emie, from Whitby, North Yorkshire, said: "When he was little he spent a lot of time in hospital - one year the nurses commented how he looked like Kevin. As soon as you point it out, people say they can't unsee it.
"As he’s grown up, I think he saw it too - he even has the same hairline! When we got the photo of him doing the same post, we couldn't get over how similar he looked. Tyler even has a similar personality to Kevin - he's daft as a brush, but he also acts older than his years."
