<ul class="summary-list"><li>Matthew Lawrence reflected on the #MeToo Movement during the latest episode of his podcast. </li><li>The actor said he was fired from his agency after refusing to undress for "a very prominent" director. </li></ul>Matthew Lawrence said he was fired from a former agency because he refused to remove his clothes for "a very prominent" director who promised him a role in Marvel films.Matthew, 43, shared details about his experience with sexual harassment during the latest episode of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7M_kWPx3Ms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">"Brotherly Love" podcast,</a> which he cohosts with his brothers Joey, 47, and Andrew Lawrence, 35.The actor also shared a clip of the discussion on his Instagram page Saturday.Matthew said "many times" he was "propositioned to get a huge role." "I lost my agency because I went to the hotel room – which I can't believe they sent me to – of a very prominent Oscar Award-winning director," Matthew added.Matthew said the director "showed up in his robe, asked me to take my clothes off, said he needed to take Polaroids of me and said if I did X, Y, and Z, I would be the next Marvel character." He said he refused, and his agency fired him because he left the hotel room. "A lot of my other male friends have gone through this with both men and women in this industry, but there's a double standard," Matthew said. He then referenced actor Terry Crews, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/wme-agent-terry-crews-accused-of-sexual-assault-will-step-down-from-wme-2018-9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who accused a Hollywood agent of groping him and filed a lawsuit in December 2017</a>. "Terry Crews comes out and says it, and people were laughing at him," Matthew said.Matthew also called the #MeTooMovement a "very good thing" but argued that men have not gained the same support as women when they speak out against sexual harassment. "Not a lot of guys, in my opinion, have come out and talked about this in the industry," Matthew said. "Now granted, it's probably about a third of what women go through … Men go through this as well." Matthew was a child star who appeared in TV shows like "<a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-cast-then-and-now-photos-2019-9#matthew-lawrence-portrayed-jack-hunter-shawns-older-half-brother-20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Boy Meets World</a>" and "<a href="https://www.insider.com/mayim-bialik-wants-blossom-reboot-2021-3" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blossom</a>." He also appeared in the 1993 film "<a href="https://www.insider.com/mrs-doubtfire-director-sequel-is-impossible-2021-12" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mrs. Doubtfire</a>" with Robin Williams and Sally Field. In March 2022, Matthew told <a href="https://people.com/movies/matthew-lawrence-says-he-stayed-away-from-drugs-because-of-robin-williams-advice/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">People</a> he "stayed away" from drugs after Williams offered him advice. "He was very serious. He was like, 'You know when you come to my trailer and you see me like that?' He's like, 'That's the reason why. And now I'm fighting for the rest of my life because I spent 10 years doing something very stupid every day. Do not do it," Matthew said of Williams. "I stayed away from it because of him."

Lawrence, who was 13 when the <keyword id="11897475" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="movie" source="Orion">movie</keyword> premiered, said he would visit Williams in his trailer, where he would talk openly about his struggles."He was the first adult who really let me in on his condition. Like, full-on let me in," he said. "I mean, as bright as he was on camera — I would go visit him in his trailer to talk to him — it was painful for him. It's really painful for him. He didn't hide it. He talked to me about it."Williams died by suicide at the age of 63 in 2014. Lawrence, now 42, said Williams warned him about the dangers of drug use, especially cocaine, following Williams' own experience with the drug. Lawrence called the advice "a gift.""He was very serious. He was like, 'You know when you come to my trailer and you see me like that?' He's like, 'That's the reason why. And now I'm fighting for the rest of my life because I spent 10 years doing something very stupid every day. Do not do it," Lawrence recalled. "I stayed away from it because of him."Actress Mara Wilson, who played Lawrence's younger sister in "Mrs. Doubtfire," said Williams also talked to her about addiction and mental health. Although she was just 6 years old when the film was released, Wilson said she's had a lifelong struggle with anxiety and depression, so her conversations with Williams made her feel less alone."I think it was so good for me to realize that it's okay to talk about this. It's okay to be vulnerable. And it was really the first time that I had someone sit down with me and go, 'I understand that you have anxiety and you are not alone. You're not just some weirdo freak who has something going on that nobody's going to understand, that everybody's going to reject you for,'" she said of Williams. "Like, this is okay and there are things you can do, and you will be alright."Representatives for Lawrence did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment. Representatives for Wilson declined to comment further.Williams won a Golden Globe for his performance in "Mrs. Doubtfire," and the movie also won best comedy or musical.Although a sequel was originally planned in 2014 with Williams on board, it was scrapped after his death. Director Chris Columbus told SF Gate last year that it would be "<a href="https://www.insider.com/mrs-doubtfire-director-sequel-is-impossible-2021-12">just impossible" to think of a sequel without him</a>.

'Mrs. Doubtfire' star Matthew Lawrence says he 'stayed away' from drugs thanks to Robin Williams' advice

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The "Mrs. Doubtfire" child stars reunited for the first time in over 30 years for a podcast.</li><li>They shared behind-the-scenes stories about their late costar, Robin Williams.</li></ul>One of the child stars of "<a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mrs-doubtfire-robin-williams-30th-anniversary-director-chris-columbus-interview-2023-11">Mrs. Doubtfire</a>" revealed that <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/every-robin-williams-movie-ranked-by-rotten-tomatoes-2022-7">Robin Williams</a> went to bat for her after she was expelled for taking time off to star in the blockbuster comedy film."Mrs. Doubtfire" starred Williams as a divorced dad who hatches an elaborate plan to imitate a female housekeeper so he can work for his estranged wife and see his children. The much-loved movie took home <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/title/tt0107614/?ref_=bo_se_r_1">$441 million</a> at the box office worldwide, making it the <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.boxofficemojo.com/year/world/1993/">second highest-grossing film of 1993</a>.Lisa Jakub, who starred as the eldest daughter of Williams and Sally Field's characters in the movie, recalled how the late screen legend stepped to get her high school to "rethink" their decision while appearing on the "<a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2cLA9dx70M">Brotherly Love</a>" podcast alongside Mara Wilson and Matthew Lawrence, who played her on-screen siblings."I got thrown out of high school on 'Doubtfire,'" Jakub told her costars. "I'm Canadian. I was attending high school in Canada, then I left for four months to go film the movie."Even though she had "three hours of schoolwork on set every day" to make up for the 9th-grade lessons the teenager was missing, Jakub's high school was unhappy with her on-set education. "We were a couple of months into filming, and my school in Canada sent a note saying: 'This isn't working for us anymore, don't come back.'""It was just so heartbreaking because I had this life that was very unusual, and that was the one normal thing," she said.According to Jakub, when Williams saw she was "devastated" by the decision, he came to her defense over her education and did his best to reverse the decision."The amazing thing was Robin saw that I was upset — he asked me what was going on," the actor explained. "He wrote a letter to my principal saying that he wanted them to rethink this decision and that I was just trying to pursue my education and career at the same time, and could they please support me in this."<div type="image" title="Robin Williams, Sally Field, Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence, and Mara Wilson in &quot;Mrs. Doubtfire.&quot;" height="720" width="1280" msid="109843895" hostid="261" sizebytes="117678"></div>Unfortunately, the principal of Jakub's school stayed firm in their decision."The principal got the letter, framed it, put it up in the office, and didn't ask me to come back," Jakub continued. "Amazing."It wasn't the only time Williams put pen to paper to advocate for his younger costars. Lawrence shared that the actor also wrote a letter of recommendation to help him get into the University of Southern California several years after their work on "Mrs. Doubtfire."But Jakub's expulsion had a knock-on effect on her adult life. The now 45-year-old <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0004356/">left acting behind in 2000</a> and said it took her years to catch up."When I left LA at 22, I did not have a high school education. I hadn't graduated," said Jakub.Speaking to Business Insider last year on the 30th anniversary of the movie, "Mrs Doubtfire" director Chris Columbus said that he and Williams began <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/robin-williams-discussed-mrs-doubtfire-sequel-before-death-director-says-2023-11">discussing the possibility of a sequel </a>in 2014. Williams' death that same year shut down any further conversation about a follow-up. "There will never be a sequel to 'Mrs. Doubtfire,'" said Columbus.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"Boy Meets World" star Maitland Ward left mainstream Hollywood for the adult film industry in 2006. </li><li>She said being on the hit TGIF sitcom "hindered my sexual exploration."</li></ul>"Boy Meets World" star Maitland Ward recently <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/maitland-ward-sexuality-unapologetically-160046665.html">told Yahoo Life</a> that starring on the hit TGIF sitcom "hindered my sexual exploration" — but she's since come to <a href="https://www.insider.com/how-are-sex-scenes-really-filmed-movies-tv-2022-8">embrace her sexuality</a> as a successful porn star. Ward, 45, starred as Rachel McGuire in the later seasons of the show, from 1998 to 2000. She entered Cory Matthews' (Ben Savage) friend group as his brother Eric's (Will Friedle) roommate and eventually went on to date Shawn Hunter's (Rider Strong) brother Jack (Matthew Lawrence), who also lived in the apartment. From the start, the character of Rachel was objectified on the show when Jack and Eric competed to date their new, gorgeous roommate.Ward said that coming up in Hollywood at a time when <a href="https://www.insider.com/britney-spears-denies-documentaries-led-to-end-of-conservatorship-2022-7">pop stars like Britney Spears</a> and Jessica Simpson were praised for their presumed chastity and then being expected to wear sexy outfits for the TV show was "very confusing." <div type="image" title="Maitland Ward and Matthew Lawrence on &quot;Boy Meets World.&quot;" height="1525" width="2034" msid="93807980" hostid="261"></div>"Having to go to the producer's office and try on lingerie over and over for a scene and for different setups was odd," she said in a video accompanying the article, referencing storylines <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-danielle-fishel-catfished-2022-8">on "Boy Meets World"</a> that involved her character Rachel doing chores in sexy clothes and her friends sharing provocative photos that she took for her boyfriend as a prank. She said she thought "that was just the way you do things as an actress" even though she felt "uncomfortable." Ward said that being "sexualized" without fully realizing it took away the "power" of her sexuality. The <a href="https://www.insider.com/marlon-wayans-paris-nicky-hilton-inspired-white-chicks-2021-7">"White Chicks" star</a> said that powers that be on "Boy Meets World" would also hold her to different modesty standards when the cameras weren't rolling. "If I was on a show, like <a href="https://www.insider.com/danielle-fishel-boy-meets-world-body-image-issues-2022-7">'Boy Meets World,' I could be sexy</a>. I could wear a sheet with little feathers on it in nude pictures that I had for my boyfriend — that's fine," she said. "If I ever wore anything like that, or did anything suggestive like that in real life, Disney and producers and Hollywood would've come down on me."<div type="image" title="Maitland Ward posing on a beach." height="1642" width="2187" msid="93807981" hostid="261"></div>Ward specifically <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-rider-strong-recalls-damaging-atmosphere-on-set-2022-7">called out "Boy Meets World" creator Michael Jacobs</a>, saying that he "was very adamant about me being chaste and the good girl."She began considering moving from mainstream Hollywood to the adult entertainment industry after she married her husband Terry Baxter in 2006 and very quickly became the number one creator of adult content on Patreon. Soon after, she was starring <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/mental-health/porn-addiction">in feature-length adult films</a>. The actor said she doesn't just blame "Boy Meets World" for taking advantage of her sexuality, but mainstream Hollywood as a whole. She said she found freedom from the pressure to stay young that <a href="https://www.insider.com/boy-meets-world-danielle-fishel-skipped-table-read-pay-disparity-2022-8">the industry puts on women</a> when she began making adult films. <div type="image" title="Maitland Ward dressed as Wonder Woman" height="2128" width="2832" msid="93807982" hostid="261"></div>"Hollywood is <a href="https://www.insider.com/celebrities-who-have-spoken-out-against-age-discrimination-2019-8">very hard on aging</a> but I have felt less of that stigma in porn," Ward said. "I've had more fans coming along as I've been older and been sexual."Ward said she was told her age would hinder her, but she's found "major success." "So that was bullshit that they were feeding. I think it's just all part of this Hollywood machine — they want to keep you in a certain place at a certain time," she continued. "I'm unapologetic about sex. I think it's me in my truth," she said. "When I was young, I was so apologetic for so many years. I will never apologize anymore."Ward's memoir "Rated X" will be available on September 6.
