What is Daniel Stern doing now? Home Alone star explains future anniversary event absence  

Home Alone alum Daniel Stern has reportedly given a rare peek into his life behind the screens. E! News reported that he opted for the country life with his wife, Laure Mattos, and three children, Henry, Sophie, and Ella. The news outlet reported that although he has largely been away from the Hollywood spotlight, he continues to share glimpses of his farm life.

In an exclusive conversation with People magazine in 2024, the actor revealed that social media helped him tell his story. Daniel elaborated on living a "real life", including raising cattle, growing tangerines, and working on his passion project: creating sculptures. He told the outlet that creating "fun" sculptures can take a village. He noted,

"I'm dealing with a city and the city council who has commissioned the piece, and I'm going to tell them their story. And then I deal with the city engineer, and then I deal with the foundry and the mold makers. So I've got all these other people in my life outside of show business, and I think it makes my show business stuff deeper because I'm living my real life."

Home Alone star Daniel Stern opens up about why he will not be at the movie's anniversary events

Home Alone star Daniel Stern has opened up about the reasons he may not be seen at the franchise's 35th anniversary celebrations. In an exclusive interview with People published on December 2, the actor noted,

"I don't leave my farm. It's no offense to the movie. I'm just ... a phone call, Zoom call, I'm in. but... I'm a bit of a homebody."

Even though he won't be an active part of the celebrations, he recognizes the impact of the movie and its ongoing popularity. He said,

"I did know that it was a gem of a movie. John Hughes wrote the funniest script I've ever read. I mean, I was rolling on the floor, laughing reading it. It was so funny, but it was also full of heart and you know — the kid and the neighbor saves him and he and the mother reunite ... I mean it was so emotional."

Daniel Stern added,

"It was so funny, it was so true and so I did know that. I was hopeful that we were making a great movie. I had no idea obviously — no one could — of the longevity of its life."

In an Instagram video posted in May, Daniel Stern can be heard describing his father as a "sculptor" and gives a peek at his studio. He adds that although he would like his father to take up more acting roles, he is "doing very well."
