Daniel Stern, best known for his role as Marv in the classic holiday film Home Alone, recently sat down with Entertainment Tonight to share some juicy behind-the-scenes secrets from the making of the beloved movie. In addition to discussing his new memoir, “Home and Alone,” Stern reminisced about his experiences filming the 1990 hit.
One memorable moment Stern shared was the fan-favorite scream he let out while staring down a real-life spider on set. The actor’s fear was so palpable that it translated perfectly onto screen, adding an extra layer of humor to his character’s bumbling antics.
Another amusing anecdote Stern revealed was the time Joe Pesci accidentally bit Macaulay Culkin’s finger during a scene. Despite the unexpected mishap, the young Culkin managed to keep a straight face and continue on with the scene, showcasing his professionalism even at such a tender age.
Fans of Home Alone will undoubtedly be thrilled to hear these nostalgic tidbits from Stern, who continues to hold a special place in their hearts as the endearingly dimwitted Marv. With his new memoir shedding light on even more behind-the-scenes moments, it’s clear that the magic of Home Alone will continue to entertain audiences for generations to come.

This man is absolutely HILARIOUS. My entire family practically hyperventilates laughing so hard from his physical comedy, no matter how many times we watch his scenes in Home Alone. Grateful for the laughs.
HARRY!? I'VE REACHED THE TOP
0:49 greatest scream of the century
My favorite, hilarious part is the spider is on Mav face😂😂😂😂😂
Still a great film after 30-plus years. Thanks for the laughs, Mr Stern and Mr Pesci. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 😊 🎄
The best Christmas’s movie😂
This is so cool to see!
Daniel Stern's role as a wet bandit was absolutely hilarious! Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern were perfect as the wet bandits in Home Alone.
Dammmme Dammmme Dammmme…
Daniel Stern AKA Marv one half off the Wet Bandits later Sticky Bandits in Home Alone 2 has gotten old!!!!!!!
Literally Probably too bloody old to do both physically demanding and athletically exhausting scenes in certain percentages off films..
As well as physically exhausting roles that's athletically demanding in IN nearly all TV shows that actually literally fcuking well requires them to do?????????
Legendary!
Such a classic
He looks like a ordinary man
Its such a classic still funny thirty plus years later
When did Stern turn into Rob Reiner Jr?
Kevin did the first ever COVID-19 party at night so the wet bandits won't burglarized the home.
Daniel Stern was great in rookie of the year and Celtic pride.
🥰🫶🏽
People still take pictures and selfies in the home alone house today.
Joe pesci and Daniel Stern are the most hilarious burglars to try and rob homes.
It is a classic movie and everybody is fantastic in it. But the real star of the movie was the score. John Williams just pulls those emotions out of you with his magical melodies.
I think that's why real life is so dull. No sweeping scores to accompany the scenes.
Dan and Joe made this movie so hilarious..everyone did, bht they were the best. And that spider scene- i die every time lmao comedy gold 🥇
I love you guys in home alone and you was very funny on city slicker and the one bushwhacked in the rookie of the Year and Celtics pride all great very very funny movie 🎥🍿🎥😅😂
Does Bushwacked ring any bells?😮
I love the thumbnail of this video, and the look on Daniel’s face when he sees the spider 😂🕷️🕸️
Has always been my favorite all time movie 🎬 I love it and still do to this day 😂never gets old ❤
I like his feet in that scene. Lol
Foot fetishes here. 😅
Lmao was he in a fight? He has a black eye probably got caught trying to be a sticky bandit
He has a black eye
I saw the movie again over Thanksgiving. The Wet Bandits still make me chuckle 30 some odd years later. These factoids are beyond interesting. 😂😅😊
Nope it was the kids. But Daniel Stern. I swear it was you man! 😂 the older I get. You must get your flowers and the grumpy guy lol😂 love yaw
I remember thinking Harry and Marv looked old in the movie , now they look young
