Matilda star Mara Wilson is all grown up!

I never meant to become famous. I was five years old, I didn't know what it was to become famous.

Child star of the 90s Mara Wilson, who famously starred in smash hits Matilda, Mrs Doubtfire and Miracle on 34th Street, has opened up about growing up in Hollywood and becoming the woman she is today.

The actress, now 29, began acting when she was just five-years-old, and went on to work with some of Hollywood's biggest stars!

Her first role was opposite Robin Williams in Mrs Doubtfire; she also starred in the Christmas remake of Miracle on 34th Street with Richard Attenborough before going on to star alongside Danny Devito as the titular character in Roald Dahl's Matilda.

Now the actress is back with a new book, Where Am I Now?, which documents her life after growing up in the spotlight.

In the book, Mara opens up about losing her mother to breast cancer just month's after completing filming for Matilda, adding that co-star Danny Devito had taken an unfinished version of the movie to her dying mother's hospital bed.

"He showed her an early cut of the movie," Mara said. "Knowing that Danny did that warmed my heart, it meant she was apart of it until the very end."
