13 January 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nHome Alone star Daniel Stern has been charged with a misdemeanour count of soliciting prostitution.<\/p>\n
Daniel Stern had a brush with police in California<\/p>\n
\nThe 68-year-old actor – who appeared in Home Alone and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York as well as two City Slickers films – had a brush with police at a motel in Camarillo, California and was issued a citation, according to PEOPLE.<\/p>\n
\nVentura County District Attorney spokesperson Joey Buttitta told the outlet. \u201cFrom what I understand, he was cited at the location and released … The Ventura County Sheriff\u2019s Office submitted their ticket or citation to us and it is being reviewed by our prosecutors.”<\/p>\n
\nButtitta told PEOPLE Stern was charged on Monday (12.01.26). TMZ.com reported the citation was issued on December 10 and the actor was not arrested.<\/p>\n
\nStern is best known for playing hapless criminal Marv in festive favourite Home Alone but he left Hollywood some time ago and now lives on a farm in Ventura, California where he raises cattle and grows citrus fruit with his wife Laure.<\/p>\n
\nStern previously admitted he loves the enduring popularity of the 1990 film, but he prefers to appreciate it from a distance. <\/p>\n
\nHe told PEOPLE magazine: “I love knowing that everybody loves it but, like, actual people come at me and say, ‘We love it.’ It’s a little overwhelming sometimes.” <\/p>\n
\nHe also insisted he had no plans to take part in any 35th anniversary celebrations for Home Alone, adding: “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.” <\/p>\n
\nHe added: “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 neighbour saves him and he and the mother reunite … <\/p>\n
\n“I mean it was so emotional. 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.”<\/p>\n
