how old was joe pesci in home alone

Joe Pesci was 47 years old during most of the production of Home Alone and 48 years old when the movie was released in November 1990.

Quick scoop

• Joe Pesci was born on February 9, 1943, in Newark, New Jersey.

• Home Alone was released in 1990, which puts Pesci at 47 during filming (late 1989–1990) and 48 at the time of release.

• In the film, he plays Harry Lyme, one of the bumbling burglars opposite Macaulay Culkin’s Kevin McCallister.

In other words: when Pesci was slipping on those toy cars and getting hit with paint cans, he was in his late forties—experienced enough to nail the mix of menace and comedy that helped make Home Alone a holiday classic.

TL;DR: Joe Pesci was in his late forties—47 during filming, 48 when Home Alone hit theaters.
