Matilda child star

What happened to the original Matilda?

News, entertainment

This article is about Mara Wilson, who used to play the lead role in the movie ‘Matilda’. They have looked her up because of the musical ‘Mathilda’ that recently won a prize. Mara is now 24 and does not act anymore, and says she never will. She does not like it anymore and now she is a playwright. Many people still ask her about her acting career and bother her about it, asking her when she will be acting again, or participating in a Reality Show. Mara does not want to do any of these things and does not want to be a celebrity.

When I read the article I first remembered how much I loved the movie ‘Matilda’ and Wilson’s role in it. Then I thought about how her life must be now. I think it’s really hard for her to keep answering questions about her acting career that ended over 15 years ago, and that people still try to make her act again or appear on TV. I think Mara is a lot happier now that she does what she loves. If she would have kept acting her life would probably be terrible by now, because she would be forced into a certain image.

  1. I get what you mean, with the fact that they are still bothering her about it. As you I as well love the movie, could not get enough of it. It is strange to me that they still ask her about it. I mean get over it, she is done with acting leave her alone. It is also smart of her to not make a career out of it if she doesn't like it because look at Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen they had a childhood career and are now struggling with eating disorders.
