The actor \u2014 known for starring in the beloved Christmas franchise \u2014 was reportedly soliciting prostitution on December 10, at a hotel in Camarillo, California, according to TMZ; Pictured (L) in a Home Alone still with Joe Pesci<\/p>\n

It comes after Stern’s hospitalization last October. He was hospitalized after suffering a medical emergency.<\/p>\n

Stern was rushed to the emergency room on October 7, per TMZ.<\/p>\n

The Ventura County Fire Department confirmed they responded to a residence in Somis, California, for a medical emergency.<\/p>\n

It is unclear what the medical issue was.<\/p>\n

Stern was assessed by firefighters and taken to hospital. He was then released with his representative confirming he is in good health.<\/p>\n

In December, Stern revealed he has left Hollywood behind and now lives on a farm and grows tangerines.<\/p>\n

Despite being a main face of the beloved flick, he now works as a cattle rancher, grows tangerines and works as a sculptor.<\/p>\n

Stern previously revealed he had to fight to get a raise for the Home Alone sequel.<\/p>\n

Stern famously played Marv Murchins, one of the bumbling burglars in the hit holiday films Home Alone (1990) and Home Alone 2: Lost in New York (1992) alongside a young Macaulay Culkin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

When the original 1990 Home Alone movie became a box office hit and a sequel was immediately greenlit, Stern previously recalled the studios approaching him with an offer of $600,000.<\/p>\n

In his memoir Home And Alone, the actor revealed the offer was double his salary from the first movie, but his co-stars had received multi-million starting offers.<\/p>\n

He said he asked Twentieth Century Fox for more money because Joe Pesci, who played his Wet Bandits sidekick Harry, was making around $2 to $3 million.<\/p>\n

He also wrote in his book that leading star Macaulay Culkin, now 43, got a sequel deal for $5 million plus 5 percent of the gross box office earnings.<\/p>\n

Home Alone 2: Lost in New York premiered in November 1992, two years after the first movie \u2014 which was almost canned before production even began \u2014 was released.<\/p>\n

Initially, Stern recalled producers taking six months just to make him the offer of $600,000, which he added was ‘double my original salary, but not quite the pot of gold I was hoping for.’<\/p>\n

He said he asked for more but decided to continue negotiating with the studios when he learned his co-star would be making more than quadruple his salary.<\/p>\n

‘I asked if that was the same as Joe [Pesci] was getting, and they said it was not,’ he said.<\/p>\n

Home Alone one came out in 1990 and starred Culkin as an eight-year-old Kevin who was accidentally left behind when his family leaves for France<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Stern explained the studio eventually came back to him with an offer of $800,000 but by that point, he had learned that Pesci was ‘getting somewhere between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 plus gross percentage of the profits.’<\/p>\n

Wanting to get paid at least half of what his co-star was making, he did not accept the six-digit number.<\/p>\n

When his agent advised him against it and to just take the offer, Stern said he fired him.<\/p>\n

Looking back, Stern said it was a ‘prideful thing to do,’ but said that if that was the best his agent could do for him, ‘then he wasn’t very good at his job.’<\/p>\n

He told the Los Angeles Times that he agreed in the end because ‘there’s lots of things I get out of the movies besides money.’<\/p>\n
