The actress who played ‘Matilda’ is currently not recognized in the film industry; However, millions of people admire the role she played when she was a child, which ended up being a family movie classic.
Despite the fact that in her childhood she achieved great popularity worldwide, Mara Wilson, who is currently 35 years old, has spoken once more regarding this Matilda character, saying that it ruined her life and artistic career.
Before being the protagonist of this famous film, Wilson had participated in films such as ‘Forever Dad’ and ‘Miracle on 34th Street’, although he rose to fame with the story of the girl with powers.
However, far from all expectations, following this great success, he moved away from acting, and focused his career on defending mental health and the rights of the LGBTQ+ community.
During the filming of Matilda, according to Mara Wilson, she experienced the sadness of losing her mother, who died of breast cancer.
This loss affected her deeply, and she says it had an impact on her personal life and her acting career.
In an interview with the British media ‘The Guardian’, Wilson assured that he always felt safe on the sets with the directors he worked with, but that the most difficult moments were thanks to the press and the internet.
“I had people sending me inappropriate letters and posting things regarding me online. I saw what they posted on the internet when I was 12 years old, and I saw very sad things. People do not realize how heavy it is to speak constantly with the press,” said the former actress.
She also said that her fans had high expectations for the role of Matilda and when they met her off camera they were disappointed.
“Fans expected me to be just as smart, pretty and personable, and I ended up getting rejected out of hand,” she said.
“I associated these situations with the world of Hollywood, in which if you’re not pretty you don’t succeed, and I stopped my career because of that,” Wilson confessed to the English publication.
