So you know the actor Zachary Gordon from Diary of a Wimpy Kid?
Yep, I personally know him and he personally knows me. It is rather mutual than some fan obsession. I am just inspired by his work and sometimes he gives me tips on how the books became so good and so successful. It is quite the experience the least I can say.
Wow, that is really cool. Was he involved in the books as well? There's so many books in the series - 13! 
Yes he was involved as a character but not so much as a writer, thank god. At that time he was only a kid so the writing would have been terrible. Jeff Kinney mainly produced and acted upon the book and Zachary Gordons character. Whats your favorite Diary of a Wimpy Kid book by the way?
I really like the first book in the series since that's the one that started it all and introduces you to Greg and Rodrick. What about you? Which one is your favorite?. 
My favorite is the Dog days book as it remidn me of the summer with my friends and the crazy adventures we would go on as a result of it.
That's the fourth one in the series right? I like that one, but the summer setting does take away from some of the comedy that the middle school setting allows for.
That is true, it really hit home for me as my family would always watch it in theatre or at home during the summer. The school ones are the best though, I agree with you on that. They seem more livley and with funnier stereotypes that would even get the grinch to chuckle.
I also like the one where Greg's friend Rowley gets a new girlfriend and spends all his time with her instead of Greg. Poor Greg! 
That was a very comedic part of the series. What is your favorite character? and if you can personally know a star like how I do , who would you choose to personally get to know. Because let me tell you, the cast is truely all wonderful people in real life.
I mean, it's hard not to go with Greg since the series is centered around him. Did Zachary Gordon tell you that it was his birthday wish to get to play Greg? Happy birthday to him! 
I remember that when I watched the behind the scenes towards the book and movies, it was interesting and very inspiring!
I can't believe the series started on Funbrain.com and now it's sold over 200 million copies. What a journey! 
What a journey indeed, it really shows where places and books can go if you just believe in yourself and push through.
I guess Jeff Kinney based all the characters on real people, but obviously changed the names to protect their identities. How cool would that be to have a character based on you?
I always dabbled and thought about that for my career. It seems interesting and Zach himself says it can feel bizzarre at time but it is a true out of this world experience according to his words.
I'm sure it does feel bizarre, especially since he has said that he is very different from the character in real life. Would you say he is different from Greg?
He is actually almost exactly like greg. Energetic and very entertaining to be around. He also has the funny self-depricating humor that greg has when he pokes at himself. It is hilarious, it is like watching a movie in real life.
Probably more of the positive attributes though, right? Because Greg has some not so nice parts of his personality too - he can be kind of manipulative sometimes. 
Yes, he is manipulative with his family but not me. I dont play that with friends, he would get cut off immediately.
