Buzz from Home Alone is grown up and we’re suddenly feeling VERY old

Cathy Donohue

Prepare to feel old.

The Home Alone films are classic Christmas festive movies watched on repeat every single year without fail.

You can’t help but feel sorry for Kevin having to spend Christmas alone and before that even kicks off, his brother Buzz isn’t exactly friendly towards him.

Between calling Kevin “phlegm-wad”, eating all the pizza and stopping him from sleeping in his room, Buzz treats Kevin in typical older brother fashion and this sibling rivalry is one of the reasons so many people identify with the movie.

While we might remember Buzz as a teenager, the actor who played him, a Mr Devin Ratray, is now 40 and has gone on to star in a number of other familiar titles.

Devin has appeared in films Little Monsters, Nebraska and The Prince and Me while also popping up in an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims SVU.

He also plays with Little Bill and the Beckleys playing the guitar and singing with the band performing in New York a number of times.

So there you go, blast from the past and we don’t know about you but Tuesday, 12th of December feels like the perfect time for a Home Alone movie marathon.
