Daniel Stern, best known as the goofy burglar Marv from the hit Home Alone, has completely flipped the script on his lifestyle. Now, instead of dodging booby traps, he’s crafting masterpieces in clay on a quiet farm.
The blockbuster that made him a household name alongside Joe Pesci and Macaulay Culkin is now just a chapter in his storied life as he captivates a new audience on social media.
The sequel, Lost in New York, featured a dazzling array of talent including Tim Curry and Rob Schneider, but today it’s Stern’s real-life plot twist that’s stealing the show.
Ditching the bright lights for greener pastures, he’s turned his back on the glitzy chaos of Tinseltown for a more peaceful existence, much to the delight of his fans who now follow his every move online.
A viral clip from Stern’s account on X sent fans into meltdown mode, showing the former on-screen klutz as a surprisingly skilled sculptor.

As the viral video made its way around the internet, one excited user exclaimed: “Marv from Home Alone lives on a farm and is a sculptor. Look guys!”
As fans marvel at Stern’s artistic abilities online, his quieter life marks a significant departure from his time among Home Alone’s iconic cast. Users quickly chimed in to correct the original poster, with one highlighting: “This is not simply ‘Marv from Home Alone,’ this is the LEGEND known as Daniel Stern.”
Although Stern continues to act, he’s also made a significant impact in the art world, contributing to various public art installations across the US. His shift to art has endeared him even more to his fans, with one saying, “I had no idea what happened to Marv, but this made me happy to see. That dress and the detail is pretty awesome btw!”

His role in Home Alone 2 still resonates, as another fan reminisced: “This man literally brought tears to my eyes in Home Alone 2. Omg, the first person to make me have tears from laughter. It was the brick scene and the way he reacted to it. I will always respect him. Great work by the way.”
Stern’s pivot to a creative life echoes his early days, which he discusses on his website: “When I was a kid, I was a terrible student but I excelled in all things artistic. I dropped out of high school when I was seventeen and moved to New York to become an actor. I did a lot of great movies but there came a point where I missed being away from my family. I decided to stop traveling so much, stay home and focus on my family and my other artistic passions.”
