Home Alone 2 star Tim Curry looks totally different, 31 years since the smash hit Christmas movie starring Macaulay Culkin.
Tim, who played the mean hotel concierge Mr Hector, is now a wheelchair user after a serious health scare.
The 77 year old actor's life took a turn for the worse over ten years ago, and he's been in a wheelchair ever since. It seems like Tim is another victim of the so-called Home Alone curse, with many of the film's stars facing their own battles, from drug issues to assault charges and untimely deaths. But it's not all bad news.
With more than 240 TV and film roles under his belt since the 1960s, Tim has brought joy to fans' lives with his performances. He infamously starred as the cross-dressing scientist Dr Frank-N-Furter in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, back in 1975. After that, Tim had a busy career with lots of small roles in Hollywood films, before mostly moving into voice acting in the late 1980s.
One of his most famous roles was as Pennywise the Clown in the 1990 TV series of IT. In 1992, Tim Curry became a household name when he played the baddie in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. He was Mr Hector, the hotel concierge who chased Kevin McCallister, thinking he'd stolen a credit card to pay for his room.
But in 2012, Tim's life changed forever when he had a stroke.
This meant he had to stop acting while he tried to get better. The stroke left Tim unable to move or speak properly. But after lots of hard work with physio and speech therapy near his home in Los Angeles, he started to improve.
