Man Utd legend looks unrecognisable as he wears Mrs Doubtfire mask after date with Wag at theatre
A MANCHESTER UNITED legend looked unrecognisable after wearing a Mrs Doubtfire mask during a theatre date.
The star showed off the drastic change on social media as he was put in the mask backstage at the Shaftesbury Theatre in London.
The retired striker was transformed into the beloved Robin Williams character with a wig and face prosthetic.
He was backstage when he tried on the costume and the show’s actors could be seen looking ammused at the transformation.
The legend was of course… Wayne Rooney.
He attended the show with partner Coleen, who shared the pictures on her Instagram account.
In one video post, Rooney, 39, can be seen having the wig put on his head before impersonating the character.
He said: “Hello my dear.”
Coleen, 38, thoroughlly enjoyed the date night as she revealed in her captions of the pictures.
She wrote: “Really enjoyed the show… Amazing cast, lots of laughs throughout.

“And lots of laughs afterwards.”
The couple were all smiles as they then posed for a picture with the whole cast.
They have been together since they were 16 and have four sons, Kai, 15, Klay 11, Kit, 8, and Cass, 6.
Their outing comes after Rooney was sacked as manager of Championship side Plymouth Argyle.
The former Red Devils star was axed by the club in December after a woeful run of form left the club in a relegation battle.
Meanwhile, Coleen recently appeared on The Overlap and revealed Rooney’s unusal sleeping habit of sleepig with a hairdryer blowing.
Wayne Rooney's record-breaking career
WAYNE Rooney took the football world by storm when he made his debut for 2002 with Everton.
He quickly became the club’s youngest-ever goalscorer aged 16 years and 342 days and was named the BBC’s Young Sports Personality of the Year.
The striker joined Manchester United in 2004 and spent 13 years at Old Trafford. He went on to make 559 appearances for the Red Devils and scored 253 goals. To this day he is still the club’s all-time leading goalscorer.
Following his spell with United, Rooney returned to Everton for a season. He also spent one-season stints with D.C. United and Derby County at the end of his career.
As well as his impressive club career, Rooney is also England’s second-highest goalscorer with 53 goals in 120 appearances, behind only Harry Kane.
After hanging up his boots, the England icon turned to a career in management.
He took charge of Derby County in 2020 and managed to just about save the club from relegation from the Championship at the end of his first season.
However, with Derby handed a 21-point deduction the following campaign, he was unable to keep them up again and subsequently left.
Then came a 15-month spell in charge of MLS side D.C. United. He failed to impress during his time in Washington and parted ways with the club at the end of the 2023 regular season.
Rooney was controversially handed the Birmingham job in October 2023, replacing John Eustace with the club doing well and sixth in the Championship table.
However, in 15 games he suffered nine defeats and managed just two wins. He was sacked in January 2024 with Birmingham down in 20th. The club were relegated to League One at the end of the campaign.
He returned to management in May with Plymouth Argyle but managed just five wins in 25 games. The United legend now finds himself out of work once again.
