See what the “Mrs Doubtfire” children look like now
It’s hard to believe it has been almost 24 years since the iconic Robin Williams comedy Mrs Doubtfire hit the big screen. In the years since, we’ve been treated to emotional deleted scenes plus a few sneaky adult jokes hidden in the family favourite film, but today, we thought we’d check in with the child stars to see what they did after finding fame in Mrs Doubtfire. Read along and flip through the gallery above to see what they look like now.
Lisa Jakub (Lydia Hillard)
Jakub was just 15 years old when she starred as the eldest Hillard child. Now 38, she’s been retired from acting since 2001, when she married her long-time partner, former Hollywood theatre manager Jeremy Jones, and moved to Virginia. These days, she’s a writer, speaker and yoga teacher.
Matthew Lawrence (Chris Hillard)
Lawrence, 37, continues to act today – as do his two brothers Joey and Andrew. After Mrs Doubtfire, the brothers starred together in the short-lived sitcom Brotherly Love. Since then, he’s appeared on Boy Meets World and his brother’s sitcom Melissa & Joey.
Mara Wilson (Natalie Hillard)
You might remember Wilson from her starring role in 1996’s Matilda. However, chances are you haven’t heard much from her since, as she quit acting in 2000 to focus on writing. Now 29 years old, Wilson has taken on minor roles in web series and animated shows.
