What the kids from Mrs Doubtfire look like now as they reunite 30 years on

The children from the much-loved Mrs Doubtfire movie have reunited almost 30 years on from the release of the nineties classic.

Starring Robin Williams, who resorts to transforming into the Scottish granny so he can keep seeing his kids after splitting from his wife, the film was released in 1993 and quickly became a box office hit.

Robin, who plays dad Daniel Hilliard, transforms himself into the old lady to become the kid’s nanny, unbeknownst to Miranda and his children, Lydia, Chris and Natalie.

But what do the trio look like now?

Well fans have been able to see for themselves after they reunited at a convention celebrating all things 90s.

Lisa Jakub, who played oldest sibling Lydia, Matthew Lawrence - who played Chris - and Mara Wilson - who played Natalie, posed standing in a row to recreate a family photo.

Although they've gone their separate ways since the movie, they're still in touch and regularly catch up.

Youngest Mara is probably the best known out of the three as the 34-year-old went on to play Matilda in the adaptation of Roald Dahl's hit book.

After taking a 12-year break from acting after the tragic death of her beloved mum, she worked as a playwright and has more recently made a return to the screen on TV series Big Hero 6 in 2018.

Lisa, now 43, was 14 when the film first came out and enjoyed further acting success, starring in Independence Day two years later.

But she quit acting at the age of 22, moved to Virginia to marry Hollywood theatre manager Jeremy Jones and now works as a yoga teacher, speaker and writer even penned an autobiography called You Look Like That Girl. Last year she launched her own wellness website, Blue Mala.

Matthew played middle child Chris and was 13 when the film came out.

Now 42, he and his real-life siblings went on to star in TV series Brotherly Love between 1995 and 1997 and in 2002 he went on to star in The Hot Chick and has most recently made appearances in his brother's sit-com Melissa & Joey, between 2011 and 2014.
