Home Alone star looks worlds away from Hollywood as he reveals new career and joins TikTok
DANIEL Stern – best known as Marv from the iconic Home Alone films – has surprised fans with a brand new career, and it’s a far cry from his Hollywood days.
The 67-year-old made us laugh with his slapstick comedy and antics alongside fellow film villain Joe Pesci.
The Hollywood star now looks worlds away from his films, but still still sports the same iconic haircut and beard – although now grey – that fans will remember from the franchise.
Taking a step away from the limelight, the actor is now dabbling in the art of clay as a sculptor.
And teh former actor has even launched his own TikTok.
In one post, Daniel shows off his incredible artwork with one sculpture showing a lady sprawled backwards over a chair.
Captioning the video, he penned: “I thought I would share this work in-progress video of a new sculpture I am creating.
“Thinking of naming it Dancer On A Chair, unless any of you have a better idea.”
Fans flooded the comments baffed by the actors new career and look, one user commented: “omg marv!!! I thought you were just a actor and comedian, this is amazing (heart eyes emoji)”
“Daniel Stern has a tik tok?!?!? this guy’s my childhood!” added another
“Your my favourite character in the home alone movies, you’re the reason I laughed so hard, appreciate you,” wrote a third.
The iconic film sees eight-year-old Kevin, played by Macaulay Culkin, accidentally left home alone when his family leave for a Christmas trip France.
At first, he’s happy to be in charge until two thieving con-men played by Daniel and Joe try and break into the house leaving Kevin to set up a series of wild traps around the house.
The film hit cinemas in 1990 and became the second highest grossing film of that year, raking in an impressive $476.7 million worldwide.
When it came to the sequel, Daniel made sure to insert a special clause in to his contract that saw him pocket millions.
He said: “I knew they couldn’t do the movie without me, but I was also insecure, since I almost blew it the first time.”
“I didn’t want to be too greedy when I loved the movie and the part so much.”
The actor bagged himself a whopping $1.5million compromising on a percentage of one percent on the profits of the film.
Considering how much the Christmas sequel earned at the box office, Stern was rolling in cash with his one-percent share.
A staggering 34 years on and Home Alone and its sequel, Home Alone 2: Lost In New York, is still among the most-watched holiday movies.
