This is what the cast from Home Alone is up to now - 30 years on from the film's UK release

Three decades after its UK release on 7 December 1990, Home Alone is still spreading Christmas cheer.

The fun-filled festive classic which follows the escapades of Kevin McCallister as he protects his family's home from 'The Wet Bandits' is still very much part of essential Christmas film viewing.

But what is the cast up to now?

And is Piers Morgan really the pigeon lady from Home Alone 2: Lost in New York?

Macaulay Culkin (Kevin McCallister)

The star of the show, Culkin is still best known for his role as Kevin McCallister some 30 years on.

Kevin's wish to be left home alone sees the 8-year-old overcome his fears, form new friendships and spark an hilarious battle of wits with two thieves trying to break into his house.

Culkin's film credits include Uncle Buck, My Girl, Richie Rich and of course Home Alone 2: Lost in New York.

In 2019 he featured in a comedy drama Changeland, directed by Seth Green, and the TV series Dollface alongside current girlfriend Brenda Song.

Born in New York on 26 August 1980, Culkin has six siblings and was married to actress Rachel Miner from 1998-2000. He had a relationship with Mila Kunis for eight years prior to Song.

He also has a podcast called Bunny Ears.

Joe Pesci (Harry)

One half of the bumbling duo trying to get their grubby hands on the McCallister's home and its contents, Harry is the brains of the operation - only to be outsmarted by Kevin.

Away from Home Alone, Pesci is no stranger to playing the bad guy. His credits include starring alongside Robert De Niro in blockbusters Goodfellas, Casino and Raging Bull.

His recent work includes a title role in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman in 2019.

Daniel Stern (Marv)

Marv is Harry's partner in crime and gives the duo their nickname of 'The Wet Bandits'. He faces the brunt of Kevin’s tricks in the McCallister home and even more so in the film's sequel.

Stern has had steady work since, and is probably best known elsewhere for narrating US comedy drama, The Wonder Years from 1988 to 1993.

He recently featured in the TV series Shrill and the film James vs His Future Self.

Catherine O'Hara (Kate McCallister)

O'Hara takes on the role of Kevin's mum, Kate, who faces a long battle to get home to see her son in time for Christmas.

The actress has a long list of credits, notably 1988's Beetlejuice, and more recently in the critically acclaimed Schitt's Creek.

Her role as Moira Rose in the Canadian sitcom earned her an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in 2020.

John Heard (Peter McCallister)

Heard plays Kevin's father, Peter, in the film. He looks after the rest of the family as Kate plots a route back to Kevin.
