Bittersweet.

Pierce Brosnan's met up with his Mrs Doubtfire co-stars ahead of the hit movie's 25th anniversary.

The Irish actor was snapped with Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson, who played the Hillard children in the much-loved film.

Lisa, who played Lydia, shared a photo of the reunion on social media, with the caption: "So this happened."

Unbelievably, Lisa is now 39, Matthew is 38, Mara is 31 and Pierce is 65.

The 1993 movie cast the late Robin Williams as Daniel Hillard, a dad who in the middle of a nasty split from his wife Miranda, disguises himself as a Scottish nanny named Mrs Doubtfire, in order to spend more time with his kids.

Pierce played Stu, a wealthy bachelor dating Miranda, who Mrs Doubtfire can't stand.

The reunion was tinged with sadness due to the absence of Robin Williams. The actor died by suicide three years ago at the age of 63.

Earlier this month, Lisa spoke to the Today show about her experience working with the star.

She revealed that they shared a close bond:

"Something that Robin taught me that was really, really important is that he was very open with me about his issues with addiction and depression. And I really appreciated that. I was 14 at the time that we shot Mrs. Doubtfire, and I think he thought that was, you know, a prime time to really be open with me and honest. And I have dealt with depression, and I have anxiety, and the fact that he was that open, that honest, that willing to talk to me about it was something that was really special."

"It has inspired me in my struggles to not be ashamed of those things, to talk openly about them. And I really feel like that's a way that we can change the stigma around mental health and really help people and make a difference. And so I will always be very grateful to him for that."
