Mrs Doubtfire kids unrecognisable as they reunite 30 years on from Robin Williams film


The adorable children from Mrs Doubtfire look completely unrecognisable 30 years on from the release of the nineties cult classic flick.

The legendary comedy - which also starred late actor Robin Williams - was released in 1993 and immediately went on to become a box office hit.

Robin, who played Mrs Doubtfire in the side-splitting comedy in a bid to get closer to his children after his divorce, became a household name after playing the iconic character.

Late actor Robin starred as Daniel Hilliard, who dresses as the old Scottish granny - the eponymous Mrs Doubtfire - when his wife Miranda (Sally Field) splits up with him and limits him to only seeing his children weekly.

He transforms himself into the old lady to become the kid’s nanny, unbeknownst to Miranda and his children, Lydia, Chris and Natalie, and much hilarity ensues.

But what happened to the three talented child stars who played his kids in the movie?

Almost 30-years after the iconic 90s movie first hit cinemas, Lisa Jakub, who played oldest sibling Lydia, Matthew Lawrence - who played Chris - and Mara Wilson - who played Natalie, reunited to recreate a heartwarming family photo.

Although the talented trio have gone their separate ways and have ventured into different areas of acting, they regularly meet up still to this day after meeting on set of Mrs Doubtfire all those years ago.

The actors were pictured standing side-by-side as they beamed in the sweet 'family' snap.

Since starring in Mrs Doubtfire, Lisa, now 43, works as a yoga teacher, speaker and writer even penning an autobiography called You Look Like That Girl.

The child actress was controversially expelled from her school when she got the part as Lydia.

Despite this, she enjoyed a successful teenage acting career and went on to star in Independence Day two years after her Mrs Doubtfire stint.

The star quit acting at the age of 22.

Matthew played middle child Chris in the blockbuster.

After finding fame in Mrs Doubtfire, Matthew, now 43, and his real-life siblings starred in TV series Brotherly Love - between 1995 and 1997.

The actor went on to star in 2002 flick, The Hot Chick, and has most recently made appearances in his brother's sit-com Melissa & Joey, between 2011 and 2014.

Matthew separated from his Dancing With The Stars Wife Cheryl Burke in January.

Elsewhere, Mara, now 34, became a household name after she starred in the Roald Dahl adaptation, Matilda.

After taking a 12-year break from acting after the sad death of her beloved mum, Mara returned to the silver screen on TV series Big Hero 6 in 2018.

She also starred as a waitress in 2016.
