This is what Matilda looks like after more than 26 years

Yes, the Matilda movie came out 26 years ago, let this movie sink in first

In other words, the cast isn’t the same anymore, not even Danny DeVito, so let’s see how the actors fared

1) Mara Wilson as Matilda

This is what Mara looked like Matilda

This is Mara now:

Mara Wilson is not only known as Matilda but also appeared in the role of Mrs. Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street. She seemed to be heading into a long career as an actress, but from 2000 to 2015 she was completely off the silver screen. She hasn’t made any movies since the 2015 movie Billie Bob Joe, in which she played her. Mara is now 35 years old and not much is known about her private life. She lives in New York and came out as bisexual in 2017 and is involved in several mental health projects.

2) Rhea Perlman as Matilda Xenia Wormwood’s mother

This is what Rhea looked like as Matilda’s dubious mother:

And this is a recent ria:

Rhea hasn’t been sitting still since Matilda. She has appeared in Law & Order, The Mindy Project, Frasier, and 10 Items or Less. She has also written and illustrated several children’s books. She married Danny DeVito in 1982 (who plays her father in Matilda) and the couple have three children. They separated in 2017, but they did not separate.

3) Embeth Davidtz as Miss Honey

This is what Empeth looked like in Matilda:

media (max-width: 680px) {# fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img {# fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img.lazyloading {width: 624px; height: 0px;}} @media (min-width: 681px) and (max-width: 1320px) {#fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} #fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img {# fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img. lazyloading {width: 980px; 0px; }} @media (min-width: 1321px) {# fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img {# fig-6343f9f00ddb0 img.lazyloading {width: 1272px; height: 0}}

And these are now:

Embeth Davidtz has also not been lethargic since Matilda, although it’s clear that they’ve opted for other roles. She has appeared in Citizen Baines, Mad Men, California, In Treatment, and others. She also appeared in the films The Amazing Spider-Man and starred with Jennifer Aniston on The Morning Show. She will be 57 years old on August 11th.

4) Pam Ferris as Agatha Trunchbull

This is how Pam is engraved in our memory as Head of Terror at Matilda School:

And this is what Pam looks like recently:

media (max-width: 680px) {# fig-6343f9f00e095 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e095 img {# fig-6343f9f00e095 img.lazyloading {width: 624px; height: 0px;}} @media (min-width: 681px) and (max-width: 1320px) {#fig-6343f9f00e095 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} #fig-6343f9f00e095 img {#fig-6343f9f00e095 img. lazyloading {width: 980px; 0px; }} @media (min-width: 1321px) {# fig-6343f9f00e095 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e095 img {# fig-6343f9f00e095 img.lazyloading {width: 1272px; height: 0}}

After Matilda, Pam Ferris worked mainly in television work, for example, Our Mutual Friend and Heaven Heights. She can also be seen as Aunt Marge in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and can be seen in the popular British series Call the Midwife. She has a long career, so!

5) Jimmy Carr as Bruce Potterter (Pie Boy)

In Matilda Jimmy it looked like this:

media (max-width: 680px) {# fig-6343f9f00e1ad img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e1ad img {# fig-6343f9f00e1ad img.lazyloading {width: 624px; height: 0px;}} @media (min-width: 681px) and (max-width: 1320px) {# fig-6343f9f00e1ad img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e1ad img {# fig-6343f9f00e1ad img. lazyloading {width: 980px; 0px; }} @media (min-width: 1321px) {# fig-6343f9f00e1ad img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e1ad img {# fig-6343f9f00e1ad img.lazyloading {width: 1272px; height: 0}}

But these days Jimmy goes through life like this:

media (max-width: 680px) {# fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img {# fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img.lazyloading {width: 624px; height;} @media (min-width: 681px) and (max-width: 1320px) {# fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img {# fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img.lazyloading {width : 980 0px;}} @media (min-width: 1321px) {# fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img.lazyloading {background: #eee;} # fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img {# fig-6343f9f00e2b9 img.lazyloading {width: 1272px}};

His Instagram bio says enough about his life in the spotlight. There he wrote: “Mostly known as Bruce Potterter in Matilda.” After Matilda, he had a guest role in the emergency room, where he may have found inspiration for his life, as he is now studying to become a doctor. In 2013, it was still the infamous cake scene, so at least we can still enjoy that.
