MOVIES child actors

The life of a former child actor is rough, and a little funny. So say the stars of ‘Stuart Little’ and ‘Mrs. Doubtfire.’

It all started with a tweet from Jonathan Lipnicki, who starred in ‘Stuart Little.’

“When you're not the mouse but everyone calls you Stuart,” he posted.


That’s when Toronto-born actress Lisa Jakub, who played the oldest daughter in ‘Mrs. Doubtfire,’ chimed in.

“I feel you. People always want to quote "we're his goddamned kids, too" at me and I have to tell them that I am not @MaraWilson and that wasn't my line.”


Mara Wilson then had her say: “I’ve had people refuse to stop calling me ‘Madeline’”.


People: pretty sure you meant Matilda!

Naturally, Lipnicki had to respond to that. “The best is when people argue with you about your own film and you are like ‘I was there’”.


To finish off this amazing exchange came a slightly resentful final word from Jakub.
