Matthew Lawrence’s ‘Boy Meets World’ Costars Bought His Reptiles ‘Tiny Cowboy Hats’: ‘Really Cool Gift’

Matthew Lawrence’s reptiles give a new name to Western fashion.

During his appearance at ’90s Con on Saturday, where he participated in a panel A boy meets the world Cast members Lawrence, 43, explained the hilarious story of why his pets have tiny cowboy hats.

Danielle Fishel mentioned a previous panel appearance in which someone asked if Lawrence ever dresses up his dozens of reptiles, and the answer inspired Will Friedle and Fishel, 42, to buy what might be the best gift ever. “[Lawrence is] like, ‘No, I don’t think they make hats that small,'” Fishel said.

“So that night, Will and I stopped by a toy store. And wouldn’t you know it, they had tiny little cowboy hats. We got two different sizes and then delivered them to Matt the next day, and he promised to take pictures,” she told.

Friedle interjected, “You know what’s funny, Danielle, you and I never stopped talking about what those hats were for anyway? They were small enough to make me wonder why these were even made?”

Lawrence called the tiny hats “a really cool gift” and promised to send photos of the reptilian accessories. “You’ll have to put those pictures behind the paycheck,” Fishel replied. “I love that they manifested that night. That’s a unique part of that story.”

This is not the first time Lawrence’s reptiles have been the subject of conversation. His ex-wife Cheryl Burke joked about their presence “underneath” their house in a previous interview on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Burke revealed that Lawrence had between “40 to 50” reptiles, although the former couple settled on one large line in the sand. “No snakes – that was the deal. I said no snakes,” Burke shared. “So when we were actually dating over ten years ago, I knew I was marrying a guy who loved reptiles.”

Lawrence often talks about her pet care on her podcast, Brotherly lovewhich he runs together with siblings Andrew and Matthew Lawrence.

Lawrence appeared as Jack Hunter on A boy meets the world from 1997 to 2000. In recent years, he has stayed out of the limelight — except for his split from Dancing with the stars Burke alum. The couple finalized their divorce in September 2022 after a near-custody dispute over their shared dog, Ysabel. Burke became the owner of the puppy.

Lawrence has since moved on with another ’90s favorite, TLC member Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas. “My life is in full bloom right now. I’m spending time with an amazing woman like Chilli,” he said Party tonight in March.

“I’ve never been able to experience that kind of connection before, so it’s pretty special. She is a really, really special human being. I wish there were more people on the planet like her. It would be much better for us,” he added.
