They don't look like this anymore...
It's been 25 years since the stars of Home Alone first hit our screens. But would you recognise the cast now?
Prepare to feel old because Macaulay Culkin , who played little Kevin McCallister, turned 35 this year.
And Devin Ratray, who starred as Kevin's menacing brother Buzz, looks barely recognisable these days.
Ever
wondered what's happened to the stars of the movie over the last 25
years? Let's take a trip down memory lane with one of our favourite
fictional families.
Macaulay Culkin - Kevin McCallister
After starring in Home Alone, Culkin went on to appear in Only the Lonely and My Girl, before reprising his most famous role in the 1992 sequel Lost In New York.
The next two years saw him in the likes of The Good Son, Getting Even With Dad and Richie Rich - with his big screen roles becoming more infrequent over the last decade.
He also became a friend to the stars, not only being close to the late King of Pop Michael Jackson, but also dating Mila Kunis for around eight years before their split in 2010.

Most recently, he has been seen on stage with The Pizza Underground - a food-based covers band playing Velvet Underground hits - and being the subject of an online death hoax .
Catherine O'Hara - Kate McCallister
Roles in the likes of Beetlejuice highlighted Catherine O'Hara 's career before Home Alone came knocking.
Since then, she has forged an incredible CV across TV and film, including voicing Sally in The Nightmare Before Christmas and roles in the likes of Chicken Little and The Life Before This.
She's seen success on the small screen, playing Carol Ward in a number of episodes of Six Feet Under.
Catherine also joined the cast of Glenn Martin, DDS for two seasons as Jackie Martin.
John Heard - Peter McCallister
Although John Heard's role as Kevin's dad Peter is one of his best-known, he's been keeping pretty busy ever since.
He appeared in 1992's Gladiator as John Riley, and is credited with a role in at least one movie every year since 1987.
The one exception was 1995, although he was still active as he appeared in American Masters, The Outer Limits and The Client on the small screen.
His roles are still varied - and two years ago he even starred as George in disaster spoof Sharknado.
Devin Ratray - Buzz McCallister
The part of bullying big brother Buzz is still Devin Ratray's most famous role, but the 36-year-old actor has stayed in the industry after reprising his role in 1992.
Devin played a number of bullying characters in the early ‘90s, landing roles in Little Monsters and Dennis the Menace.
He played roles in the hit series, Law & Order: SVU as well as in Ryan Reynolds’ movie R.I.P.D.
He is also in a band called Little Bill and the Beckleys, performing as the band's singer, guitarist and lyricist.
Roberts Blossom - Old Man Marley
The late Roberts Blossom gave a stellar performance as Kevin's misunderstand neighbour Old Man Marley.
However, whilst he kept busy until the end of the 1990s, his final big screen credit was 1995's The Quick and the Dead.
He went on to make appearances in television films like The American Clock (1993) and Balloon Farm (1999) before his retirement - during which he spent his time writing poetry.
Tragically, he passed away in 2011 after an acute stroke aged 87.
Joe Pesci - Harry
By the time he starred as burglar Harry in Home Alone , Joe Pesci already had a very impressive resume in Hollywood.
He picked up a BAFTA Award for Best Newcomer in Raging Bull (1980), and a decade later got an Oscars for Best Supporting Actor as he one again teamed up with Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese.
The trio worked together again in 1995 on Casino, whilst he has films like JFK, Gone Fishin' and Lethal Weapon 3 and 4 amongst his credits heading into the new millenium.
Since the turn of the century, he made a cameo appearance in The Good Shepherd, before starring in Love Ranch in 2010 - and he has lent his voice to the character of Komar in the English version of Savva. Heart of the Warrior.
Daniel Stern - Marv
Like his friend Pesci, Daniel Stern enjoyed success before Home Alone in the likes of Breaking Away, It's My Turn and City Slickers.
After taking on the role of hapless criminal Marv - which he reprised alongside Pesci's Harry in the sequel - he would go on to star in Bushwhacked, as well as narrating The Wonder Years TV series.
He has also done a lot of volunteering work, including through the Malibu Foundation for Youth and Families, his services towards education and visiting US troops on Iraq in 2003.
In 2009, he was given the President's Call to Service Award by Barack Obama, which is the nation's highest honour for volunteering.
