It's been over three decades since Home Alone became a beloved holiday classic, capturing the hearts of audiences around the world. The family classic was released in 1990 and follows eight year old Kevin McCallister who is accidentally left behind when his family take a trip to France for the holidays. At first, he's happy he has the house to himself.
But when thieves try to break in, he is forced to protect his home as best as he can. The Christmas film not only catapulted Macaulay Culkin into stardom but also showcased a talented ensemble cast. Let's take a look at where the main cast members are now.

Kieran Culkin - Fuller McCallister Did you know Macaulay has a talented brother? Kieran Culkin, aka Fuller, went from Home Alone to hitting the big screen in Scott Pilgrim vs.
The World.
He's now a star in the HBO hit Succession, and he and wife Jazz Charton are proud parents to a little one born last August. Kieran, who once dated Emma Stone, is proving that the Culkin charm runs strong in the family. Joe Pesci - Harry Joe Pesci, the man with the plan (well, sort of) in Home Alone, took a break but came back with a bang.
