Daniel Stern calls Joe Pesci a scary dude while reflecting on filming Home Alone

Daniel Stern, who played Marv in "Home Alone," reflected on his experiences filming the classic holiday movie. He described co-star Joe Pesci as a "scary dude" after Pesci accidentally bit child actor Macaulay Culkin during a scene. Stern noted that the film aimed to create a genuine fear factor, which later shifted to humor as Culkin's character executed various pranks. He recalled a memorable scene involving a tarantula, which he initially thought would be a prop. Despite the challenges, Stern enjoyed the comedic moments, including hitting Pesci with a crowbar while trying to deal with the spider. He emphasized that "Home Alone" remains popular due to its theme of kid empowerment.
