How old is greg heffley in the ugly truth

Greg rarely learns from his ill-fated mistakes and continues to scheme and plot for his various goals. Because of this and his impulsive nature, he usually puts himself and others in trouble, and will often try to find another person to take the blame. He also stands up for Rowley sometimes as shown in the movie when he lied and told everyone that he ate the cheese, taking the blame for the green blobs on the school left by him and Rowley, and complimenting Rowley that he was a nice kid in Dog Days.

However, despite all this, Greg still has had his kind and caring moments, but not very frequently. In the movies, Greg shows much, much more character development. He was basically the same in the first book , and once he became kind to Rowley, he also was improving his relationship with Rodrick in Rodrick Rules film , and in Dog Days film , the relationship between him and Rodrick are actually like brothers, as Rodrick shows Greg and watches in disgust at the introductory video for the Spag Union Preparatory School.

Greg is usually depicted with black shorts, or pants sometimes black jeans, or, when he is fantasizing, a black tuxedo and a shirt, as well as a thin mustache.

He is very skinny and does not seem to eat nor work out much. His father has tried to get him to work out and exercise, but he prefers playing video games. His nose is a simple oval but stops where the first eye is while his ears are circled. His head is a circle that stops around his left eye. He also appears to wear contact lenses, which he mentioned in The Last Straw. He wears his backup glasses when he runs out of them.

He also wears white shoes or black sandals as shown in " Dog Days ". In the books, he only has three strands of hair on his head. In the movies, he has brown hair and pale white skin. Like in the book, he's visually skinny and slightly shorter than Rowley. See Greg's Relationships. Diary of a Wimpy Kid Wiki Explore. Book Series.

You should let your child - boy or girl - read this amazing story written by the one and only Jeff Kinney.

Kid, 12 years old October 2, Amazing diary of a wimpy kid book! A kid named greg meets new friends but they have problem with life every time. Greg didn't really like them cause they have issues. Apparently, the parents were trying to call their kids, but due to Mr. Tanner taking the cell phones, they got into a panic because, of course, no one replied. The parents who came to the school take their kids home with them, leaving Greg and Rowley, the only two kids without cell phones.

Greg gets sick with an unknown illness, which he suspects is because the experience at the lock-in was "too much for [his] body". Susan tells Greg she is going to the library to study, which disappoints Greg since the only positive thing he sees about sickness is being fussed over.

At noon, he sees a lot of cars parked on their lawn in his window, and he could hear a lot of talking and the TV downstairs from his room.

When Susan decides to come home from the library early to take care of Greg, she finds out about the maid's laziness, as well as finding her watching with other maids. After this, she fires Isabella for good. Greg then recovers and goes back to school, where Rowley arrives with a large pimple on his forehead.

He explains that his mother told him he is "becoming a man". This makes Greg wonder about when he'll start puberty, but after talking it over with his parents, they both reveal that they were actually both late bloomers, so he probably won't be starting puberty for another few years or so if he's anything like them.

The next day, Greg and Rowley are both invited to one of Jordan Jury's notoriously wild parties. Greg then explains about the wild parties Jordan Jury holds, which are legendary and have a lot of girls in there. Unfortunately for Greg, Susan doesn't let him go, because the party takes place on the same weekend as his Uncle Gary's wedding. Greg tries to promise that he will go to Uncle Gary's 5th wedding, but Susan tells him that he is playing a major part in it and he can't let Uncle Gary down.

Greg also tries to call Rowley and tell him that he can't go since Greg has a wedding to go to. Rowley angrily replies that he doesn't care and he is going since he is almost a grown-up now. Greg is humiliated and bored at the wedding for many reasons. Mostly, Greg thought he was a groomsman at the wedding party and would have a good time when Susan had explained to Gammie that they are picking up Greg's tuxedo. However, during the day of the wedding, Greg is actually the Assistant Flower Boy, and he is actually wearing the same white tuxedo as Manny, much to Greg's dismay because he finds the job embarrassing and not as interesting as being a groomsman.

After the wedding, Greg receives " The Talk " from Gammie, which he has been nervous about. Gammie explains to Greg the stress and horrors of becoming and being an adult and growing old both physically such as pimples and, at old age, wrinkles and mentally, which causes Greg to decide to enjoy his late childhood for now.

As Gammie starts rolling down her sock, Greg excuses himself and leaves. Once Greg gets back to school, he realizes that while the wedding may not have gone well, it's ultimately a good thing that he didn't go to Jordan's party—while the party itself was apparently pretty crazy, it turns out that the only reason that Jordan invited kids from Greg and Rowley's grade to the party was to basically use them as servants.

Greg also discovers that Scotty Douglas won the Peachy Breeze competition, although he couldn't get the slogan right. At this point, Susan stops going to college for now and returns to the family, much to Greg's delight. Also, Greg and Rowley ultimately become friends again after Greg decides to make the first move in patching things up instead of just waiting for Rowley to come to him.

Greg says that he forgot what he fought about with Rowley. The book ends with him explaining that Rowley has grown a whole inch and a half since the summer, and he explains they can take it one step at a time and can be friends, at least until high school because Rowley can be a good person he can have at his side.
