“The Family Stone” is one of those Christmas movies that you either love or hate. Still, it’s a must-watch film, especially because of the star-studded cast that includes Diane Keaton and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Released in December 2005, “The Family Stone” is about a very dysfunctional family that gets together for the holidays. Everett, the eldest sibling, takes Meredith home to propose, but things start getting complicated shortly after.

It’s been 15 years since “The Family Stone” was released, and the cast members have done a lot with their careers during that time. Read on to learn what they are up to nowadays.

DIANE KEATON

Living legend Diane Keaton portrays Sybil Stone, the matriarch of the family who survived breast cancer, and deals with the illness's recurrence while serving as the heart of the story.

After her appearance in “The Family Stone,” Keaton worked in “Book Club,” “Because I Said So,” and “Love, Weddings & Other Disasters.” She is also expected to appear in the Christmas comedy “Family Jewels” next to Goldie Hawn.

CRAIG T. NELSON

Kelly Stone, Sybil’s husband and the Stone family's patriarch, is played by Craig T. Nelson. Keaton and Nelson’s on-screen connection makes it hard to find a better parental pair in a Christmas movie.

Nelson has kept himself quite busy ever since appearing in “The Family Stone.” Apart from working in “My Name is Earl” and “Parenthood,” he has portrayed Coach Dale Ballard in “Young Sheldon.”

After “The Family Stone,” Mulroney appeared in “The Wedding Date,” “Insidious: Chapter 3,” and “Shameless,” and is expected to appear in at least seven projects, including “The Blazing World” and “Deadly Illusions.”

LUKE WILSON

Ben Stone, Everett’s brother, is the free spirit of the family played by Luke Wilson. Ben is a film editor living in Berkeley, California, and is the exact opposite of Mulroney’s character.

One of Wilson’s most memorable roles after “The Family Stone” was Levi Callow in “Enlightened.” Nowadays, he plays Pat Dugan in “Stargirl” and is expected to appear in “12 Mighty Orphans.”
