"Home Alone" actor Macaulay Culkin recently starred in the latest Compare the Meerkat advertisement, alongside TV meerkats Aleksandr and Sergei. The video clip lasted 40 seconds and showed Aleksandr and Sergei, who appeared to be on a family vacation, driving through the desert in an RV.

In the clip, the "My Girl" actor was picked up by Aleksandr and Sergei to join them in their adventure, when they eventually realized they do not have a family. The former "Home Alone" child star joined the two in their family adventure that included roller coasters, ice cream and a bounce house. All three ended their day with some soda and popcorn while watching a movie. The focal point of the advertisement is when Aleksandr uses his 2 for 1 Meerkat Movies to watch the show.

Culkin's advertisement promotes Compare the Meerkat movies by offering a deal of two tickets for the price of one, courtesy of ComparetheMeerkat.com. Aleksandr and Sergei are branded as the Kardashians of the animal kingdom, Digital Spy reported.

Meanwhile, Culkin confirmed his band "The Pizza Underground" will be releasing their last album, Times of Malta reported. He said that the album is intense, as they even hired a 120-piece symphony and a choir, making it big, grand lush sound. He also revealed that it is essentially going to be the end of the band and their last gift to the world.

The "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York" star expressed his gratitude to their fans, saying "Thanks for enjoying our silly pizza band." "The Pizza Underground" is known for handing out free pizza to concert-goers.

Culkin is popularly known in his role as Kevin McCallister in the famous 1990s film franchise "Home Alone," portraying a character who is stranded at home alone during Christmas. The 35-year-old actor is one of Hollywood's most successful child actors, as he starred in the 1991 hit "My Girl" and the 1994 comedy film "Richie Rich," following the success of the "Home Alone" movie.

Culkin's Compare the Meerkat advertisement was once done by Australian "Moulin Rouge" actress Nicole Kidman and Hollywood "Predator" veteran action star Arnold Schwarzenegger.
