hmmm..Home Alone Turns 25: Where Are Macaulay Culkin and His Co-Stars Now?

Home Alone Turns 25: Where Are Macaulay Culkin and His Co-Stars Now?


Ready to feel old? It was 25 years ago today that Home Alone opened in theaters nationwide.
Kevin McCallister became a hero to kids everywhere when his family took off for their Christmas vacation without him—he ate pizza, watched R-rated movies and basically made the most of his grownup-free situation. Just as impressively, though, our precocious hero protected the family home by cleverly (and hilariously) outsmarting two dim-witted burglars known locally as "the Wet Bandits."
Macaulay Culkin perhaps the most iconic child star of his generation, was just 10 years old when Home Alone hit theaters back in 1990. Funnily enough, the kid who enjoyed "a lovely cheese pizza, just for me" back then still dabbles in that doughy stuff these days professionally—but we digress.
In honor of Home Alone's 25th anniversary, here's a look at what Macaulay and the rest of the cast have been up to over the past quarter-century.
Home Alone, Then and Now, Catherine O'Hara


Catherine O'Hara (Kate McCallister, Kevin's mom): This veteran Canadian actress had a number of notable credits on her resume—including the role of Delia Deetz inBeetlejuice—prior to landing her role as the McCallister family matriarch. She went on to have continued success in the business, receiving acting as well as voiceover roles on numerous projects including The Nightmare Before Christmas, Chicken Little and Frankenweenie. She received multiple nominations for her role in the 2010 TV movie Temple Grandin.
O'Hara married production designer Bo Welch in 1992 and the couple have two sons together, Matthew (21) and Luke (18).

home alone, Then and Now, John Heard

John Heard (Peter McCallister, Kevin's father): He's continued to work steadily since his Home Alone days, but he hasn't necessarily been thrilled with his career trajectory. As John himself told 411mania.com in a rare 2008 interview, "I guess I went from being a young leading man to being just kind of a hack actor. I'll take whatever I can get now!"
This included a role in the 2013 TV movie Sharknado as well as guest roles on shows including Modern Family, Person of Interest, Mistresses and NCIS: Los Angeles.
He has a son, Jack, with ex-girlfriend Melissa Leo, as well as a son Max and daughter Annika with ex-wife Sharon Heard...
