The young cast of Mrs Doubtfire got together for an epic family reunion – and they’re all grown up now.

The iconic flick was released in 1993, starring the late Robin Williams as desperate dad Daniel Hillard, who went to extreme lengths during his divorce from wife Miranda (Sally Field) – disguising himself as an older housekeeper so he could spend time with his children.

Lisa Jakub, 45, played older daughter Lydia, while Matthew Lawrence, 44, appeared as their son, Chris, and Matilda’s Mara Wilson, 36, was their youngest child, Natalie.

Pierce Brosnan rounded out the cast as Miranda’s new love interest, Stuart Dunmeyer, while Chris Columbus served as director.

More than 30 years on, the Hillard children sent us all into a spin as they staged a surprise reunion, teasing an upcoming appearance on Lawrence’s Brotherly Love podcast.

Taking to Instagram, Jakub shared a snap of their sweet meeting alongside the message: ‘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.

‘And @andrewlawrence and @joeylawrence are just part of the extended family. I had a great time doing the @officialbrotherlylovepod and can’t wait to share it with you.’

Posting the same pictures, Wilson added: ‘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.’

Unsurprisingly, fans went wild for the reunion and flooded the comments section with praise for the trio.

Kimmi_Rhoades replied: ‘Love seeing you all together!’

‘Such an amazing film you guys made. And with a realistic end which made it all the more real and relatable. Good to see yous all together again [sic],’ Trawets2012 agreed.

Brittanystrom_ commented: ‘This makes me heart so happy. Mrs. Doubtfire is one of my all time favorite movies.’

As Gordyshellyater penned: ‘Love this reunion so much. Robin Williams is smiling from heaven.’

Mrs Doubtfire hit the big screen in 1993 and became an instant classic, which is still loved by audiences today.

Casting director Janet Hirshenson previously opened up about how the movie came to be, and revealed that Williams – who tragically died in 2014 – went above and beyond to help young actors with their auditions.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk about the movie, she told us: ‘What was most fun was, I loved casting the children. We took all of our favorite children from LA to San Francisco to test with Robin, and Robin was so…. wonderful.

‘He improvised all the time but these were little children, including five year olds and it was their test. 

‘He was trying so hard to keep on book, to help the kids with their audition.’

We would expect nothing less.
