Heres sweet adorable Mara on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Mara is on to promote her movie "Miracle On 34th Street". Please excuse what seems to be a few brief video glitches. This is from my collection.

Asking a child about boyfriends never sits right with me.

I think sometimes it’s to get a funny reaction from the kids. But other times the adult takes it past that and it becomes weird. But he didn’t seem to keep talking about it here I was so scared he was going to though 🤣

Same. Especially girls. It hypersexualizes the relationships they have with boys. Works the same the other way around. It makes it incredibly uncomfortable growing up to keep friendships with men. As I am sure it affects men's relationship with women that are platonic.

She mentioned recently in an interview how it made her uncomfortable to be talking about boyfriends at this age and how the media sexualizes girls. You can tell she’s embarrassed and Leno keeps pressing her about it. Dude, she’s in 2nd grade, why is it normal to think she’d have a boyfriend?

It's disgusting. Asking a 8 or 9 year old this is just gross. Honestly any age as a kid would be uncomfortable to be asked that.
She deserves so much respect for not messing up her life with drugs and alcohol like most child actors do and considering her mom died when she was 9 years old making Matilda and she still went on like a fighter to make the Best Movie Ever, What a Legend!!!

Kids in the 90s seemed so smart and mature for their age. I (like many many others) grew up on Mrs. Doubtfire, and Mara is only a few years younger than me, so thanks for preserving all this great nostalgia.

So cute! I wish child stars were still like this--just down to earth and not overly precocious. Mara sounds and acts exactly like a first grader you might run into in real life--sweet, funny, and excited to talk about her family vacation. Child actors these days seem false for the most part, and too smart for their own good. I'm glad Mara appears to have been one of the few lucky ones.

The way this particular actress turned out isn’t necessarily the result of the era she grew up in. There are still some down to earth child stars out there today (although I do think the increased social media outlets invade their privacy in a more unhealthy way than ever before). I think Mara had an advantage because she was encouraged to continue her education and pursue interests/passions beyond just acting (in her case, writing). That’s something that parents of child stars can (and should) still try to ensure for them. The time era they’re in has nothing to do with it.
This was before she played Matilda.

:) I loved how she turns to Tom Jones, "Hello, how are you?" No clue who Tom Jones is, what all he's done.
Who’s here in 2021
That's so cool that she changed two big lines in miracle on 34th street.
She was adorable then, and she's a true inspiration now. This is so lovely to see.
I grew up watching Matilda ALL THE TIME, so everytime I see her now I just think of Matilda haha!
Mara is one of my fave child stars
Mara wilson is very clever
OMG SHE IS PRECIOUS IN THIS. I love her! I have been obsessing over Matilda lately
So adorable and she has a great sense of humor . Such a thoughtful, intelligent child, even as Matilda. It was a perfect role for her. I will always love her as Matilda. Her mother would have been so enormously proud of her daughter.
She's so adorable!!!!
What a wonderful child she was. 💖
Adorable. You cant help but smile ☺️
Haha it's so funny listening to her perspective of Japan, since I am Japanese lol:D
I hope that i have later, a child that is the same like her
She's smarter than me. Damn lol
She’s killing me over here,ADORABLE❤️
Mara was a wonderful child, now she's an adorable young woman, and she will never stop amazing us! See her movies, read her books, her writings. A superstar in all the sense of the word! Mara Wilson, I admire you so much! You are talented and super intelligent! 😘😊 (greetings from sunny Greece)
Aww she was so cute :)! Took me a while to realise she was sitting next to Sir Tom Jones! Lucky her.
She is so lovely and looks like an angel!!!
She's so darn cute.
I had that dress too. I miss the 90's!

Shes so sociable at such a young age this is so adorable
I think I'm around her age, I was 3 when Mrs. Doubtfire came out. Man I miss the 90's, even though I can't remember most of the first half of it.
Happy birthday Mara
aww she's so adorable !!!!! I watched matilda almost an hour ago and damn she was so cute back then :D
Well... Handled herself far better than I could at 5 years old. My socially awkward ass never would have even made it on stage.

The most adorable thing ever. 😊
What an amazing interview, I would have loved to be that confident and funny when I was younger! She is so cute too
Growing up she was one of my favorite little actors💜 she’s just so adorable!
She is so cute!
Jay Leno was great in 90's
Very sweet, smart and talented young girl. I’m glad she made the smart decision to leave Hollywood and live her life while she was still young. I hope she’s happy and doing well. ❤️🙏
Idk how this ended up on my feed😂 She was so adorable tho😍
She is soooo entertaining. Love her!!
This is one of my childhood movies that I loved and watched every day
She was so cute when she was little
She became her own mother, matured at her age and so intelligent! it's a shame kids today are not like this.
Aww! I hate society literally I don't think she's grown up ugly in anyway? the fucks wrong with the media/people. Can we please have more celebrities who actually grow up with a personalty and all their original features in tact and not plastic? surely what we should be striving for...
i was born 3 years after that interview. Life is really a beautifull gift🌻🌸🌼❤
