‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ kids reunite after 31 years all grown up!
The Doubtfire siblings are all grown up now. Mara Wilson, Lisa Jakub and Matthew Lawrence acted on screen together for the first and last time 31 years ago.
The three actors starred as the children of Robin Williams and Sally Field’s characters in the 1993 comedy classic “Mrs. Doubtfire.”
Sharing the reunion photos, Mara Wilson wrote on Instagram: “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.”

The film became a blockbuster three decades ago as the second highest-grossing movie of 1993 with $441 million worldwide.
It was last year when “Mrs. Doubtfire” director Chris Columbus revealed to Business Insider that talks for a sequel to the movie only started in 2014, shortly before Robin Williams’ death.
And without Robin Williams, there was not a shot that Columbus would ever make a follow-up.
“It’s an interesting thing. Back then, there was an attitude that sequels were looked down upon by the artists. So Robin was against doing a sequel immediately after,” Columbus said.
“He and I didn’t talk about a sequel until the year he passed away.”
“We had a script that was written and it was the last time I saw Robin,” he continued.
“I went to his house and we sat down and talked about it and the script was really strong. Robin’s only comment was, ‘Boss, do I have to be in the suit as much this time?’ It was physically demanding,” he added.
“For Robin, I think it was like running a marathon every day he was in the Doubtfire costume. He was older, obviously. So we talked about it and I think he was hoping in the rewrite we would cut back on the Doubtfire character. But then Robin passed away so there will never be a sequel to Mrs. Doubtfire,” he asserted.
