Home Alone star Daniel Stern reveals unlikely feud with U2 legend Bono that resulted in him calling the police after a mad party at his Malibu mansion
Daniel Stern has ended up in a feud with Bono.
The actor, 66, who is best known for playing burglar Marv in the Christmas classic Home Alone opposite Macaulay Culkin, is a neighbour of the U2 star in LA.
When Bono threw a late-night party at his Malibu mansion, Daniel branded the With Or Without You rocker and his friends 'pretentious a**holes' after they blasted music until the early hours.
While he didn't disclose the date, he wrote in his new book Home And Alone: 'By one in the morning, I was out of my mind.
'It turned out he had rented the house to Bono (yes, that Bono), who was having a birthday party for his daughter.'

He said: 'I called the police and told them that there was an unlawful party going on and that I was going over there to shut it down and I hoped they would join me.
“I hopped in my truck . . . and headed in . . . I lost it.
'I started ranting, ‘Shut the f***ing music off’. Families with children are trying to sleep and instead we all have to listen to this s**** music all night long?
'Shut it off! You don’t even live here, you f***ing pretentious a**holes.'
The Hollywood star said he can become 'pretty insane and scary when I lose my s****'.

In the end, local law enforcement arrived on the scene and shut the party down in the middle of the night.
In the tome, Daniel also revealed that 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.
He wrote in his book that leading star Macaulay, now 43, got a sequel deal for $5 million plus 5 percent of the gross box office earnings.
Home Alone 2: Lost in New York premiered in November 1992, two years after the first movie — which was almost canned before production even began — was released.
