ROBERT Capron, most known for his role as Rowley Jefferson in the film series Diary of a Wimpy Kid, has fans drooling over his appearance nearly 15 years after its release.
Photos circulated on social media of the actor in honor of his 26th birthday on Tuesday, and fans couldn’t help but swoon over the star.
Side-by-side shots were shared on X showing Robert in the franchise’s first film, which debuted in March 2010, and him today.
Fans noticed the Tarzan star’s significant glow-up from a sweet kid with adorably chubby cheeks who wore a tie and sweater vest to a sexy young man smirking at the camera.
Robert’s Instagram page is just as captivating, including photos of the Rhode Island native showing off his good looks while out with friends.
“Why are u hot,” one fan commented on a post with a slideshow of pics from Robert’s getaway to San Francisco, California, with his buddies.
“Dude got hot asf,” echoed another.
“Looking good man,” said a third.
“The glow up is crazy,” a fourth added, while others commented with the viral meme of Robert’s character, Rowley, waving enthusiastically in the movie.
Robert has kept a low profile since his days in the Diary of a Wimpy Kid franchise.
However, he appears to have stayed in the industry, as his Instagram bio says he’s a writer and actor.
After the third film in the franchise premiered in August 2012, Robert went on to study theater, film, and screenwriting at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Robert was already experienced in this area of study, having started in the business when he was eight years old.
According to his IMDB page, Robert enrolled in an after-school drama program, which sparked his interest in performing on stage.
He went on to appear in the 2009 comedy Bride Wars and The Sorcerer’s Apprentice the following year.
Robert then landed his most recognizable role on Diary of a Wimpy Kid, with its first two installments premiering in 2010 and 2011 and the third, Dog Days, in 2012.
Robert Capron is best known as the lovable kid Rowley Jefferson in the film franchise Diary of a Wimpy Kid. He has a list of credits from his nearly two decades in the business. Here are some of Robert's notable appearances on TV and in movies.
