- 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 used to be a part of culture and the whole point was to get a funny reaction
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!!!
+Glenn Bill yeah different to macaulay culkin,he ended on drugs!
xDD hahhahahaaahahahah
Well probably the best thing she did for her life was leaving acting while she was still a kid. Who knows what would have happened if she stayed in this industry.
lindsay lohan basically, that's unless some hollywood pedo gets to her first-- I don't know much about the parents ,but they are usually the ones to benefit
I'm so glad there was a happy end to this story. To lose your mother, who is your best friend at that age, then to go on and become an accomplished writer... respect!
She was a doll. Her voice couldn't been more adorable. She’s basically a more energetic Matilda in real life lol
I agree! Mara’s voice as a little reminds me soooo much of the voice of this girl I was friends with as a child. My friend did not look like Mara at all, but she had sort of a nasal lisp voice like Mara.
Hey Kris Sanders we have the same name
Her voice sounds just fine here.
oh boy the 90s Christmas dresses haha
And what's with them, explain please?))
??
NO idiot
💯 🤣
Fight me
Wow, what an intelligent little girl. Reminds me of a young Dakota Fanning.
Shes so intelligent. Isnt she six in this? I don't even speak this eloquently now. :')
I think she was 7, since she was born in 1987. But I agree, she was so well-spoken and eloquent for her age!
A She also reminded me of Madeline Zima when she was a child actress Zima had a supporting role in ‘Hand that Rocks the Cradle’. I have to say that they both, including Dakota Fanning were so adorable
She's ben Shapiro's maternal first cousin. Not even kidding
Joe throgmartin what?
OMG her struggling to get up on the chair. She was so cute.
Haha yeah❤️❤️
She's so charming! You can tell she's really intelligent probably why she had the good sense to get out.
get out of whay
what
Acting career probably
@@ellielouise7842 out of hollywood nd the media, it destroys people
@@eellieom9942 🙄🙄🙄🙄
3:11 "It was like $5 it's probably like the highest it goes, I dont know!" Hahaha, my heart melted on that one, and I'm a stone cold man.
I just lost it when she said that like oh my god
A stone cold man
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.
Xennial Hipster well now to calm ur baby all u do is put baby music or something like that instead of spending time with them
Why are they always so obsessed asking children if they have boyfriends or girlfriends.
Probably because most kids do lol 🤣
Because Hollywood is filled with pedophiles that are constantly sexualizing children..
@@Magic_sparkles no.
I had a boyfriend in kindergarten then in 1st grade, if i would of been asked i would of say yes! His name is pete which it was
Because adults think it’s cute for some reason
What a sweet heart. My fav of hers will always be Matilda.
me too
"We have a boy called Patrick he loves Patrickaly all the girls in class" that was the cutest way to make an accidental pun I've ever seen
Please explain to me that joke)) 3:45
Why did the frog cross the road? Because of his chicken stay off. I don't get it.
ArtjomAlexandsson because it’s the chickens day off
ArtjomAlexandsson it was the chickens day off... the most famous joke of all time.. why did the chicken cross the road ? To get to the other side!! Lol
I think it wasn't accidentally. She said it purposely.
Love how she just talked to him like there wasn’t a crowd there
That face utterly adorable.
Her eyes💕
The missing teeth ❤️
omg her personallity
I had no idea her mom died. She has lived her life courageously. The most courageous thing she has done is quitting the business @12 or 13 and ensue her education. Whatever she is doing I'm sure she would be a success! My best to you Mara!
Lately she voiced Liv Amara and her evil clone Di (Diane) in Big Hero 6 The Series!
she’s so polite and precious
So true.
“$5 is probably the highest it goes, I don’t know.” She is just too precious!
ITS SO CUTE THAT SHE MENTIONED THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AMERICA AND JAPANESE WAY TO MOTION “come here”
This was before she played Matilda.
Ikr and she is way too smart for a seven year old
No, I don't THINK so. At 5:02 the man asks if she liked the movie; I'm not sure if it was Matilda or something.
Sayeeda Yeasmin Matilda came out in 1996, this interview was in1994
Yep. The teeth grew back in the movie.
@@rhiannongallimore1731 she may have been filming cause some movies are film a year or two before they come out and I I know this cause I saw the making of a movie called I'll do anything and they were filming it in 92 but it didn't come out till 1994
Oh my god she's so precious. I wonder how adult Mara reacts when she sees this hahaha
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.
I swear some people on this site have to make everything a case of "things were better then than they are now"
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.
That's so cool that she changed two big lines in miracle on 34th street.
:) I loved how she turns to Tom Jones, "Hello, how are you?" No clue who Tom Jones is, what all he's done.
Mara is one of my fave child stars
She was adorable then, and she's a true inspiration now. This is so lovely to see.
Mara wilson is very clever
Who’s here in 2021
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!!!!
Adorable. You cant help but smile ☺️
What a wonderful child she was. 💖
I grew up watching Matilda ALL THE TIME, so everytime I see her now I just think of Matilda haha!
She's smarter than me. Damn lol
I hope that i have later, a child that is the same like her
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)
why is he asking her a little girl if she has a boyfriend, if i was there id throw him and his chair out the window because who does that?
They do it to every single little girl on interviews. It's disgusting.
czcams.com/video/PjfblhaDr5w/video.html
And why does it look like he keeps putting his hand between the desk and the chair and touching her hand 😳
@@kirbyjustine1 how is it disgusting? They’re just trying to be relatable to those kids
I ask my little cousins and nieces and nephews if they have crushes on other kids it's just cute, creepy is often in the eye of the beholder
@@THEBYGONE 100%
Haha it's so funny listening to her perspective of Japan, since I am Japanese lol:D
She is so lovely and looks like an angel!!!
Aww she was so cute :)! Took me a while to realise she was sitting next to Sir Tom Jones! Lucky her.
She’s killing me over here,ADORABLE❤️
She's so darn cute.
I had that dress too. I miss the 90's!
so cute and smart .... sweet
What a shitty question. "Do you have a boyfriend?" - why is that okay???
+Joanna van Zeller I don't think (or hope) any show host would go on and on about that today!
This was an aeon ago, man. Things were different.
jhhhbjkiihhhhhhiunj.p.,lomkomkmknj
+Joanna van Zeller You didn't live in the 90's?
It's an innocent question. Lots of people ask kids stuff like that, it's not meant to be taken seriously. Chill out
I like these old videos shes cute and clever, I had that hair style at that age too lol
She was a great child actress and loved her acting in Mrs Doubtfire
aww she's so adorable !!!!! I watched matilda almost an hour ago and damn she was so cute back then :D
Shes so sociable at such a young age this is so adorable
Thanks for sharing these videos! So glad I found your channel!
You're very welcome, glad you are enjoying. :)
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.
Watching her struggle to get on to an armchair. Reminds me of when I had to stand on a pile of books to get up on to my bed when I was little.
Happy birthday Mara
a lovely interview. Thank you for sharing.
So great to see - I just love her in Miracle on 34th Street. T for posting
Well... Handled herself far better than I could at 5 years old. My socially awkward ass never would have even made it on stage.
great channel.
thanks for these priceless interviews
She was so cute. Seeing her in Matilda,just makes me so so happy even now n tht cute smile is still very much there ❤️
Growing up she was one of my favorite little actors💜 she’s just so adorable!
Omg!! The way she carried the conversation at such a young age . 😍😍😍 I’m sure we are the same age. Lol
i was born 3 years after that interview. Life is really a beautifull gift🌻🌸🌼❤
She’s so adorable so innocent ❤️
This is one of my childhood movies that I loved and watched every day
What an amazing interview, I would have loved to be that confident and funny when I was younger! She is so cute too
She is so cute!
How is she so confident? Wowwww..
Idk how this ended up on my feed😂
She was so adorable tho😍
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. ❤️🙏
The most adorable thing ever. 😊
Stop asking children if they have boyfriends 🤢🤢🤢
She was so cute when she was little
Jay Leno was great in 90's
One of the cutest little people ever!! And of course she’s still amazing!!
How was she so cute🥺
She is soooo entertaining. Love her!!
Crazy to think she's 30 in July!
She became her own mother, matured at her age and so intelligent! it's a shame kids today are not like this.
sweetest girl ever
Awwww shes so cute 😥❤❤
Omg I love her, she is soooo cutee
I learnt more with this child interview than anything else I've learnt from adult interviews.
I love Mara Wilson
She's so cute when she was a child
Such a smart and adorable little girl!!
She is lovely. She gives me happy tears. Matilda is one of my favourite movies.
She's so adorable here she lost 7 teeth one in Japan one in NYC she's keeping track lol i love her.
If they don’t make a Matilda 2 with Mara playing the role as the teacher, I will write it myself.
she is just so beautiful 😍
Awe she's so sweet.
She was so sweet
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...
She stole my heart as a actress, a girl... miss her on the screen
She so cute
OH MY GOD I DIDN'T KNOW SHE WAS MATILDA!!! I'm here because of Welcome to Night Vale…
Such a cutie!
She is sooooo adorable😭😀
Her mother passed away 2 years after this. Poor pooch
I love Mara she so cute
She was a,cutie!!@ smart too!
So talented!
