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.

      • I get how you have to be talented and all, but you have to be rich? You can’t just go and audition for something? I know it cost a lil bit of money but… you have to be rich?
