HELLLLOOOO!

Remember the kids from Mrs Doubtfire? This is what they look like now

Actors Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson starred in the comedy 24 years ago

MRS Doubtfire is one of those classic 90s movies that nearly all of us watched during our younger years.

It's been almost 24 years since the comedy first hit screens in November 1993 - so what are the child cast, Natalie, Chris and Lydia, doing now?

Lisa Jakub, 38, played Robin and Sally Field's oldest child Lydia - and was just 14 when the hit film came out.

The child actress was controversially expelled from her school when she got the part - but enjoyed a successful teenage acting career, starring in Independence Day two years later.

However, she quit acting at the age of 22 - and moved to Virginia to marry Hollywood theatre manager Jeremy Jones in 2005.

Lisa now works as a writer - even penning an autobiography called You Look Like That Girl - speaker and yoga teacher.

And no, she doesn't have any plans to return to acting - describing herself as happily retired.

Matthew Lawrence played middle child Chris in the blockbuster - and was 13 when it came out.

The 37-year-old is also the middle child in real life, and his brothers Joey and Andrew are also actors.

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

He then bagged the role of Jack Hunter in Boy Meets World, between 1997 and 2000.

Adorable Mara Wilson was just six years old when Mrs Doubtfire catapulted her into the public eye.

You may also recognise the now 29-year-old from Matilda, in which she played the lead role.

Like her on-screen sister, Mara quit acting in 2012 - because it's "not very fun".

She is now focusing on her writing - and has a storytelling show called What Are You Afraid Of?, which Mara plans to turn into a podcast.

Her play Sheeple was performed at the 2013 New York International Fringe Festival.

Mara also works for Publicolor, a youth development programme which uses colour and design to help high-risk kids in their education.
