Heartwarming moment Dubliner Alisha Weir found out she got the role of Matilda

[@fd3]

I saw the full film. She was just. Phenomenal. Perfect. I saw the film and I couldn’t imagine a more brilliant, emotionally-damaged (from her parents and school), wonderful Matilda. Every scene was phenomenal. I’m so happy and proud of her 😊

[@_what._.]

Indeed, the movie was so great

[@RandomTitanicMemes]

Great movie in fact I was in it

[@Brookie0303]

Agree completely

i loved the film it’s my new fave

[@serenitythesiren5031]

The way her eyes just went so wide and everyone started screaming was so heartwarming! She did awesome as Matilda, and really captured her sense of mischevious innocence.

Awww I cried during that 🥺 Alisha's reaction was everything and I especially loved the moment when her sister was telling her to breathe and gave her the biggest hug 🥰 Can't wait to watch her in Matilda!!

Adorable! She was fantastic as Matilda. One of the best screen adaptations of a musical I’ve seen

[@ju2545]

Matilda is five and she’s 13 in real life but she looks young so that’s an advantage

[@missmoon1849]

@@ju2545 that doesnt matter at all. its AMAZING that they’re not hiring really young children. everyone knows by now how THAT turn out for the kids

[@addisonormsby8627]

@@missmoon1849 Does it really matter you don’t have to be such a critic. If Ju 2 was just saying what saying more things that like say that Ju 2 said that the movie was horrible then you can critic no offense Ju 2 but just because Ju 2 said what he/she said does not mean that you be a such a pain and a critic. And I agree with Ju 2 that she is 13 irl and that she looks so young and that is advantage to have. So don’t be a critic next time to whatever people say. Thank you and have a good day/night😂

[@Who_tf_is_mh]

She was getting ready to get told no but then… “You got the part”. Her reaction is priceless 😊❤

[@wilson.647.whovian.Maxley]

She deserved that role. Her facial expression was extremely on point. I reckon she was a future in acting.

[@PrinceTrexus]

She deserved this role so much! Her acting, singing, dancing, even the way she disguised her Irish accent with a British one was absolutely perfect!

[@KyleMUC]

She is so ADORABLE! She nailed the role and was exactly as I always pictured Matilda when reading the book. So ecstatic for her! 🥹📖

[@maggotsrule1959]

I couldn't stop watching this when this first came out on Instagram!!! She's amazing and I can not wait to watch the film in a few weeks.

[@emorygrace7]

Oh my gosh. This is SOOOO heartwarming. ❤❤❤ My heart is just so so full. As an actress, when I’ve been told that I’ve gotten the part, I’m usually just like, “No way. I bombed that audition but like…oh my goodness thank you!” This is a whole another level, and it makes me so happy. She’s so talented ❤

[@user-jd5no5ij6t]

That Is Me As Well. All Of The Days Leading To Audition Results, My Brain Just Says That, “ Oh, You Blew That Audition, You Are Never Getting The Part”. But It’s Been Going Well For Me So Far. SUCK IT, BRAIN. Glad I’m Not The Only One

[@dillonpindel8721]

She is absolutely phenomenal in Matilda she just opened up so many future opportunities I think we will see more of her

[@NewCityMedia]

What a lovely reaction! She deserves everything that's coming her way. Delightful young girl, and so talented.

[@YourFellowRNRSisterFan98]

She is so adorable, I can’t wait to see her as Matilda. I loved the original? I love the book, I still watch the movie the original clearly and I can’t wait to see the new one. Her reaction was so adorable. It actually made me tear up.!❤️ such a tender moment. She will never forget this moment. even if it does get taken off the Internet she will never forget it as long as she lives.I don’t think it will get removed.❤️

[@jeromealday614]

It's available on Netflix, Her and Miss Trunchbull carried the whole movie for me. The others not so much 😕

[@Sharpe1502]

She is an amazing Matilda! It’s so cool this new generation has a Matilda just for them.

[@c.syde65]

Just for them? There's plenty of her to go around. I was born in 1995 so technically I'm closer to being in the generation that saw the 1996 adaption of Matilda when it came out. But I saw this adaption a few weeks ago. And I absolutely loved it. I wasn't sure what to expect when I considered that it had 'Musical' in the title. Makes it sound like it puts too much emphasize on the music and not enough on the other things. But I'm glad I didn't hold that against this adaption! 😀

[@JesseHOH]

Bro this is so heartwarming ❤️❤️❤️

[@ignatiuskhan]

What a sweet heart this kid is. And what an artist.

[@Julie86Mac]

she was almost 12 when she got the role. she's 14 now.
