Hear From Zachary Gordon, the Real-Life Wimpy Kid
Zachary Gordon stepped onto the big screen in 2010 as Greg Heffley, the not-so-tough main character in “Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” based on the best-selling books by Jeff Kinney. An unabashed fan of the Wimpy Kid books, Zachary considered Greg his dream role. That didn’t mean working on the film was easy.
