Home Alone star Devin Ratray was reported to be hospitalized in critical condition, according to a family member cited by TMZ. The 47-year-old actor, known for portraying Buzz McCallister, the older brother of the film’s central character, has since been sent home to recover and to follow medical guidance.
Details about the reason for the hospitalization were not disclosed. Public updates on his health remained sparse as the situation unfolded, with representatives not providing specific medical information at the time.
Meanwhile, the domestic violence case against Ratray had a trial date set for January 22, 2024, though health concerns led to a postponement of the jury trial to a later date. Reports noted that legal proceedings continued to move forward despite the health setback.
In December 2021, Devin Ratray’s former girlfriend alleged that he attacked her and threatened her life. The plaintiff claimed the outburst stemmed from an incident involving signed photographs that Ratray gave to fans without requesting payment, a detail the accuser described as provoking her fear and harm. The case drew significant media attention as part of the actor’s broader public narrative.
Additionally, Vyacheslav Makarov, a presenter on the program Mask, recently spoke about his views on extreme sports, adding a separate note to the week’s entertainment discourse and highlighting the diverse range of public figures discussed in media cycles.
