Fans are shocked to learn that Marv Murchins from the Home Alone franchise has had a complete change of career path since stepping away from Hollywood.
Home Alone and Home Alone 2 are still iconic Christmas movies that are festive favourites every year around the holiday season.
The first movie in the franchise was released 24 years ago, but still fans can fondly remember the hapless burglars who appeared in the franchise.
Joe Pesci, 81, and Daniel Stern, 67, played Harry and Marv, the burglars who were outwitted by a 10-year-old (played by Macaulay Culkin) and suffered the awful consequences of trying to thieve from a booby-trapped house.
Both actors went on to appear in several Hollywood movies after the release of the films, but now Daniel has had a complete change of career – which he has documented online and with fans.
Daniel is now a sculptor and shares his work online with fans. He also owns a cattle ranch and has shared videos of the cows on his fields and the orange juice he makes from tangerines grown on his property.

The actor revealed one of his art pieces in a video on TikTok: ”I thought I would share a moment of a work in-progress video…this is a video of a dancer I’m making.’ He then revealed a stunning bust of a female dancer as he explained his process.
In another, he shared that he was growing tangerines: ‘Hello, as you have come to discover, I live on a farm and we grow tangerines here.
‘They came and picked them the other day and I like to have them pick me a bin and then I juice them up, and then I freeze them and give them away to my friends.
‘I just wanted to show you what is it like, here are our tangerines, there is my bucket.’

Fans loved this discovery and were delighted to see what the star was up to – joking that they were glad he wasn’t up to a life of crime like Marv.
‘I’m glad Marv changed career paths 😁,’ joked user3679063304402.
‘MARV! What the hell are you doing on a tangerine farm? (in my best Harry voice),’ said witchywellnesschick on TikTok.
‘Damn. Marv got a farm and a Chevy. He’s my hero now 😂,’ said awright0912,
‘The fact that it’s a week before Christmas and Marv just popped up on my fyp… 😂❤️💚,’ said christinajulian_91.

Just a few weeks ago, Macaulay Culkin revealed that he had nearly purchased the iconic house that was featured in the first movie.
The five-bedroom, six-bathroom property, is located in the Winnetka area of Chicago, Illinois, and was actually used as the exterior for the film – and the 1992 sequel.
‘I had half a mind to buy it – just for giggles,’ Culkin told the audience at Illinois’ Rosemont Theater during a screening of the movie, reported The New York Times.
The actor reportedly said that he imagined turning it into a movie fun house where you can sledge down the stairs as his character does in the first film but decided against it.
‘I got kids. I’m busy, man,’ he told audience members.
