If you try and claim it’s not one of your favourite films of all time then you’re fibbing. Matilda still holds a special place in our hearts even twenty years after it was first released. We can’t believe it’s been that long either!
So in celebration of the absolute classic, we take a look at what the stars of the Roald Dahl film adaptation look like now.
Some have changed while others (we’re looking at you Matilda) are exactly how we remember them.
Take a look at our gallery below for a lovely bit of childhood nostalgia:

The Matilda Cast: Where are they now?
Matilda (Mara Wilson) has since given up acting after a successful childhood acting career. We're just glad she hasn't gone off the rails since...
The Matilda Cast: Where are they now?
Sweet Miss Honey has appeared in several films since Matilda starring in the likes of The Amazing Spider-Man and Bridget Jones' Diary.
The Matilda Cast: Where are they now?
Okay so playing Mr Wormwood might not exactly be the role we most remember him for but we still love Danny DeVito in Matilda.
The Matilda Cast: Where are they now?
Lavender AKA Kiami Davael is still in touch with her former cast member Matilda (well, Mara Wilson) as they've remained friends for the past 20 years. If that's not made your day then we don't know what will. You can check out what she's up to these days over on her Insta.
The Matilda Cast: Where are they now?
Rhea Perlman AKA Mrs Wormwood is married to Danny DeVito in real life and the pair frequently act alongside each other appearing in the likes of Taxi and of course, Matilda.
The Matilda Cast: Where are they now?
The ponytailed target of bully Miss Trunchbull has sure matured since her Matilda days. Jacqueline Steiger may be known best for playing Amanda Thripp but she has since made a name for herself as a director. And luckily for her, Amanda's locks are too short for pigtails now...
The Matilda Cast: Where are they now?
Bruce is best known for standing up to Miss Trunchbull and well, demolishing an enormous chocolate cake. Something we doubt Jimmy Karz, now 31, would be able to handle these days as he's become a bit of a hunk...
