We know we can’t expect our favourite childhood stars and icons to stay young forever, but in our hearts they will forever live on as the little rascals that gave us so much joy and laughter during our youth.

Hence why we CANNOT get over seeing what those 90s child stars look like in the 21st century.

And have you seen what Liesel Matthews - aka A Little Princess’ Sarah Crewe – looks like now?

Well let us tell you she looks nothing like this anymore…

She’s come a long way since her nine-year-old self entertained the entire family in this film about a young girl heading off to boarding school during the Great War.

Oh god, we feel ancient.

Since her days of childhood fame, Liesel has put acting to the side to pursue philanthropist paths, directing the IDP Foundation sending funds and aids to areas in need across the globe.

Watch her in action:

And she can thank her heiress fortune from Hyatt Hotels of approximately $280 million for allowing her to help others so much.

She’s also gone on to start a family of her own, being married to Ian Simmons with two little ones, Robert and Irene.

How time flies, ey?
