In a photo shared to social media Wednesday, May 1, original Mrs. Doubtfire child stars Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence, and Mara Wilson joined for a group photo some 30 years after the film’s release.
“The sisters had so much fun hanging out with the brothers. @marawilson and @matthewlawrence still feel like my siblings — even 30 years after filming Mrs Doubtfire,” wrote Jakub, who starred as oldest child Lydia Hillard.
Added Jakub, “We had a little reunion. ???? 30 years later and my Mrs. Doubtfire family still feels like family.”
Wilson wrote, “So funny that the same week I went to San Francisco, I got to reunite with my Doubtfire siblings!”
“It’s always a joy to see @lisa.jakub and @matthewlawrence, and always so much fun to be on @officialbrotherlylovepod,” she added. The reference is to seemingly an appearance from herself and Jakub on the Lawrence brothers’ podcast, as evidenced by a larger group photo that included Joey Lawrence and Andrew Lawrence.
Mrs. Doubtfire follows voice actor Daniel Hillard (Robin Williams) who is struggling to find work and whose personality is at odds with that of his wife, Miranda (Sally Field).
When Miranda asks for a divorce, Daniel becomes “Mrs. Doubtfire,” a nanny and housekeeper whom Miranda hires to watch over the kids.
The cast of the film, which inspired a 2021 Broadway musical of the same time, has reunited in the past.
The movie’s director, Chris Columbus, revealed last November amid the movie’s 30th anniversary that he and Williams had been in talks about a potential sequel.
“We had a script that was written and it was the last time I saw Robin,” Columbus, 65, said in an interview with Business Insider. “I went to his house and we sat down and talked about it, and the script was really strong.”
“But then Robin passed away so there will never be a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire,” he said.
