You’ll never believe what the ‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ kids look like today

1990s family films don’t come any more iconic than Mrs. Doubtfire, and it turns out just one photo of the three kids from the beloved Robin Williams movie can leave our hearts melting like a snow cone in Phoenix.

31 years on from the Chris Columbus production’s release, actors Matthew Lawrence, Mara Wilson, and Lisa Jakub reunited for a nostalgic episode of Lawrence’s Brotherly Love podcast, which he co-hosts with his equally famous brothers, Joey and Andrew Lawrence.

Wilson — who once played tiny Natalie at the age of just five — shared the heartwarming pics on Instagram, revealing that — in a wild coincidence — she had just visited San Francisco, where Mrs. Doubtfire was shot and set, days before hanging with her “Doubtfire siblings.”

Jakub shared the same photos, remarking in her caption that Wilson and Lawrence “still feel like my siblings” even after 30 years.

The Doubtfire siblings seem to make a habit of reuniting every few years. The trio previously got together to mark the film’s 25th anniversary in 2018, though on that occasion they were joined by co-star Pierce Brosnan. That occasion resulted in the gang naturally reminiscing on the brilliance of the magnificent and much-missed Robin Williams, who passed away by suicide in 2014, so no doubt there will be more touching discussion of Williams on this upcoming episode of Brotherly Love.

As you pick up the broken pieces of your mind after realizing that Mrs. Doubtfire was over 30 years ago, let’s take a moment to catch up on the Hillard family kids and see what they’ve been up to since 1993.

Outside of playing Daniel Hillard’s soccer-mad son Chris in Mrs. Doubtfire, Lawrence — now 44 — is probably most recognizable for his role as Jack Hunter on Boys Meets World (1997-2000), a part he reprised for an episode of sequel series Girl Meets World in 2015. He also got to star with siblings Joey and Andrew in the two-season sitcom Brotherly Love (1995-97), from which the Lawrence boys’ podcast gets its name.

Lawrence made headlines in April 2023 when he revealed in an episode of said podcast that he had been sexually harassed by the unknown director of an unspecified Marvel movie. “A very prominent Oscar award-winning director who showed up in his robe, asked me to take my clothes off, and said he needed to take Polaroids of me, and that if I did X, Y, and Z, I would be the next Marvel character,” Lawrence shockingly explained, admitting that his agent fired him when he refused to comply.

Lawrence married dancer Cheryl Burke in 2019, but the couple had divorced by 2022. Later that same year, Lawrence started dating singer Chili, of R&B group TLC fame.

As one of the biggest child stars of the ’90s bar none, Mara Wilson no doubt could’ve easily parlayed her early success in life into a never-ending Hollywood career, but the actress ultimately decided to move away from the industry during her teen years and is now a writer. Her memoir, Where Am I Now?: True Stories of Girlhood and Accidental Fame, was published in 2016.

Wilson has been very open about her struggles with her mental health over the years, including her experiences with depression, anxiety, and OCD, and has collaborated with teen-focused mental health charity Project UROK. In recent years, after a 12-year break, Wilson has made a light return to acting, providing voicework for such animated shows as Helluva Boss, Bojack Horseman, and Big Hero 6: The Series.

“Film acting is not very fun,” Wilson admitted to The Nostalgia Critic when explaining why she quit acting. “Doing the same thing over and over again until, in the director’s eyes, you ‘get it right’, does not allow for very much creative freedom. The best times I had on film sets were the times the director let me express myself, but those were rare.”

The post-Doubtfire life of Lisa Jakub — who portrayed the Hillards’ eldest child, Lydia — ironically mirrors that of her on-screen sister pretty closely. Like Wilson, Jakub also left Hollywood behind a few years after the film’s release. In 2001, Jakub — who also memorably appeared in 1996’s Independence Day — married theater manager Jeremy Jones and moved to Virginia. She hasn’t acted since, but as with Wilson has transitioned into becoming a writer. Now 45, Jakub maintains a wellness and meditation website named BlueMala and, is it just me, or does she look uncannily like her movie mother, Sally Field?

Even though they’ve gone down their own paths in life, it’s touching to know that the Doubtfire siblings remain close and, to paraphrase the hip, old granny herself, they have a family in their heart forever. Robin would be proud.

Aditi Rao Hydari has recently captured the internet’s attention with her mesmerizing ‘gajagamini walk’ from Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Netflix series, Heeramandi. The actor’s graceful performance in the song ‘Saiyaan Hatto Jaao’ has received widespread acclaim, prompting her to express gratitude towards her fans for their love and praise.

How did Aditi Rao Hydari create her viral walk in Heeramandi?

Aditi Rao Hydari recently shared how she feels deeply moved by the positive response to her performance. In a recent interview, she shared her feelings about the unexpected yet heartwarming reaction from the audience. “I am thanking everybody. That walk, just that little tukda from thumri, it is all over the internet. I really didn’t expect that and Sanjay sir did say, ‘Ye chaal bahut important hai (This walk is very important),’” Aditi said. She further reflected on the effort and dedication that went into perfecting the walk, which has now become iconic.

The Heeramandi actor provided a glimpse into the meticulous process behind the creation of the song, highlighting Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s deep involvement in every detail. The dance choreographer was Kruti Mahesh. Despite this, Bhansali engrossed himself in every aspect of the song’s choreography.

“Kruti Mahesh was there choreographing, but he was completely involved in every detail of the choreography. He was very particular about this walk and how it should happen. How will the dupatta fall, how will the waist move. Exactly when the ‘chan’ sound will be heard… it was quite incredible,” Aditi elaborated. This attention to detail is a hallmark of Bhansali’s work, ensuring that every movement, gesture, and nuance contributes to the overall impact of the scene.

For those unaware, Netflix recently released much-awaited, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar on May 1, 2024. Since then, Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s OTT debut has garnered widespread acclaim for its grandeur, stellar performances, and storyline. It is currently available to stream on Netflix.

‘X-Men ’97’ season finale ending and post-credits scene, explained

Warning: This article contains full spoilers for X-Men ’97 episode 10.

There goes, X-Men ’97 season 1 — easily one of the finest stories Marvel Studios has ever told. Rarely has the studio behind the MCU delivered something both so authentic to its source material and celebratory of these characters and the universe they inhabit.

The bad news? This run of 10 terrific episodes, uncanny in how astonishing they were (see what I did there?), has now come to a close. The good news? This definitely isn’t the end of the road as a second season is on the way. As promised by the finale’s open-ended conclusion and, of course, a post-credits scene teasing what’s coming next.

So what happens in the last scenes of X-Men ’97‘s finale and what does it all mean?

Where are the X-Men?

“Tolerance is Extinction, Part 3” picks up right where we left off, with the X-Men trying to stop Magneto and Bastion’s competing plans to end life on Earth.

After the X-Men succeed in destroying Bastion’s Asteroid M, before it collides with the planet, the team are missing and presumed dead in the explosion. Forge searches for months for any trace of them — specifically, Storm — but to no avail. Finally, Bishop visits him and reveals the truth: someone, or something, saved the X-Men by flinging them somewhere (or somewhen) else in time. Bishop recruits Forge to help track the time-displaced X-Men down.

In 3000 BC Egypt, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Beast, Magneto, and Professor X fight off some ancient Egyptian guards and are aided by a mysterious masked figure. Once they fight is over, the gang thank the stranger and ask his name. “My name is En Sabah Nur,” he responds. That’s right, the X-Men have stumbled upon the younger version of their nemesis, Apocalypse!

Meanwhile, Jean Grey and Cyclops have been sent into the far-future, finding themselves in a barren wasteland in the year 3960 AD. They are approached by an elder wise woman who calls herself Mother Askani, leader of the Clan Askani. A boy then emerges from the Clan Askani’s tent and warns the rest that these two newcomers do not mean them harm. The young boy is extremely familiar-looking, what with his distinctive red hair. His name is Nathan — aka a young Cable, Scott and Jean/Madelyne’s son!

Is Apocalypse the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2?

In true Marvel Studios style, the X-Men ’97 finale then concludes with a post-credits scene. The action returns to the ruins of Genosha in the present-day, where a shadowy figure stalks through the devastation caused by Bastion back in episode 5.

“So much pain, my children,” the figure booms, before retrieving a Queen of Hearts card from the rubble. “So much death…” As a shot of those distinctive blue lips makes clear, this is the grown-up Apocalypse, who seems all set to be the big bad of X-Men ’97 season 2. Even if we didn’t know we were getting one already, the “TO BE CONTINUED…” card at the episode’s end confirms it.

All things considered, it looks like we’re in for a deep-dive into Apocalypse’s character next time around, as the X-Men get to know his origins in the past while he cooks up some evil scheme in the present. The card he finds is clearly Gambit’s, so it’s very likely he’ll resurrect Remy and turn him into one of his Four Horsemen. Gambit alive again? Yay! Gambit turned evil? No way!

With any luck, X-Men ’97 season 2 will release sometime in 2025. For the meantime, all 10 episodes of season 1 can be streamed on Disney Plus.
