In what is leading many people including myself reminisce about their childhood, the Diary of a Wimpy Kid stars have reunited for the first time in years.

For those unaware, the film series follows the popular children's books from Jeff Kinney.

And while the instantly recognizable illustrations may feel like a blast from the past, the a new Dairy of a Wimpy Kid book is still releasing every year to this day.

The books were that loved by fans that page quickly turned to screen with the premiere of the first Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie in 2010.

The films did not stop there though, as three sequels followed - Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules, Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days and Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Long Haul.

The basic premise follows a school boy called Greg Heffley (Zachary Gordon), who is trying to navigate the wild school life with his best pal Rowley Jefferson (Robert Capron).

"I have been very blessed and fortunate. I am grateful that a new generation is starting to watch the movies."

Speaking of life after the franchise, Gordon added: "I am in a very interesting chapter where I am learning who I am. It’s about growth and acceptance."
