Daniel Stern has opened up about his famous project, Home alone.
In a new conversation with PEOPLE Magazinethe actor, who plays the role of a hapless criminal Marv in the film, opened up about the weight of being part of one of the most beloved Christmas movies of all time.
While Stern has previously said he appreciates the film’s continued success, he admitted that experiencing that love up close can sometimes be overwhelming.
“I like knowing that everyone loves it, but real people come up to me and say, ‘We love it.’ It’s a little overwhelming sometimes,” he told the outlet.
Stern also revealed that he has no plans to participate in the upcoming 35th anniversary celebrations of the 1990 classic and that he is a call person.
“I’m not leaving my farm. It’s no insult to the movie. I’m just a phone call, Zoom call, I’m in, but I’m a bit of a homebody,” he explained.
Looking back on the film, Stern said he always felt like it was something special.
“I knew it was a gem of a movie. John Hughes wrote the funniest script I’ve ever read. I mean, I rolled on the floor and laughed when I read it. It was so funny, but it was also full of heart and you know, the kid and the neighbor save him and he and the mother reunite,” the 68-year-old concluded.
