"The McCallister Gang Reunites - A Home Alone Delight"
Reunion in New Jersey
The fivesome spent the day in New Jersey, posing for pictures and chatting with fans about the iconic movie. One enthusiast even bared his leg to Michael Maronna, who played Jeff, to reveal a giant tattoo of Kevin McCallister's face. It was a sight that brought back memories for both the stars and the fans.Standing in front of a huge banner emblazoned with 'Home Alone Reunion', attendees of all ages joined the gang. Some kids even mimicked the memorable scene where Kevin screams as he pats his dad's aftershave onto his face. This moment was a testament to the lasting impact of the movie.
The NJ venue shared a collection of snaps from the day on Instagram, captioning it with one of Kevin's catchphrases. It read, "Guys, I'm eating junk and watching rubbish! You better come out and stop me!!! Today's event was so much fun! Thank you to Devin Ratray @devinratray, Kristin Minter @kristin_minter, Michael C Maronna, Angela Goethals @g0ethals, Jed Cohen and everyone who came out to meet them and celebrate their Home Alone Fandom with all of us today here at @pandorasboxtoysandcollectibles. This was the first time they had all been together in over 30 years!"
