A new advertising campaign brings Macaulay Culkin back as Kevin McCallister, the clever kid from Home Alone, who now as an adult must protect his elderly mother.

Macaulay Culkin, the star of “Home Alone,” returns as Kevin McCallister in a commercial campaign for a franchise network that specializes in non-medical in-home care and support for seniors.
The 45-year-old actor reprises his iconic role, but this time, instead of defending his home from burglars, Kevin’s mission is to protect his mother from everyday dangers.
The commercial “Home But Not Alone” begins with Kevin showing off his “Mom’s safety plan,” which includes wrapping the house in bubble wrap and nailing the rugs to the floor.
While wrapping everything in sight, Kevin hears a familiar sound — someone shoveling snow — and discovers it’s the granddaughter of Old Marley, another beloved character from the Christmas classic, played by Roberts Blossom, who passed away in 2011.
The ad campaign, composed of a series of commercials, coincides with the 35th anniversary of “Home Alone” and features Kevin in familiar scenes, but this time focused on his mother’s safety, now an elderly woman.
“Home Alone,” the 1990 family Christmas comedy, starred Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, the young boy accidentally left home alone while his family travels to Europe without him.
The film was a huge commercial success, becoming at the time of its release the third highest-grossing film of all time, earning over $470 million worldwide.
