Robert took on the role of Rowley Jefferson in Diary Of A Wimpy Kid when he was 12 years of age.
The role of Rowley in the beloved 2010 comedy film, was the best friend of the main character Greg Heffley.
Greg was portrayed by Zachary Gordon, whom Robert reunited with last year.
More than 15 years on from his starring role, Robert looks unrecognizable from his on-screen character of Rowley.
Pop culture X account PopCrave posted a recent snap of Robert to commemorate his 27th birthday on July 9.
"Happy 27th birthday to Diary of a Wimpy Kid star Robert Capron," the account penned alongside the snaps they shared.
Reacting to the snaps and Robert's "glow up", one person penned: "wow what happened he's so hot now."
"The glow up is real," declared a second.
"Those don't look even remotely close to the same person, did you use the wrong picture?" asked a third, who was baffled by the glow up.
While a fourth said: "He's changed a lot."

"BRO YOU HAVE THE BEST GLOW UP DANGG," penned another.
"Rowley out here handsome af," said a third.
Zachary, who Robert starred alongside in the flick, shared a tribute to his pal for his birthday two days ago.
"Happy bday to my ride or die… Zoo-Wee-Mama," he penned alongside a series of snaps.
"It's so cool that you guys are friends irl, that bond must be pretty powerful," said one person in the comments section.
While a second penned: "Two handsome men right there."
Though Robert shot to fame in Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, Robert actually made his acting debut three years prior.
In 2009 he landed a small part in the movie Bride Wars in 2009 alongside Kate Hudson and Anne Hathaway.
But it was Diary Of A Wimpy Kid that shot him to stardom.
The hit film was based on Jeff Kinney's 2007 book of the same name.
There ended up being three movies in the franchise overall.

Serena shows off body transformation as Venus prepares for comeback
Serena Williams has been working hard in the gym over the last 12 months as she looks to keep herself in top physical shape despite retiring from tennis three years ago Serena Williams, the tennis icon with 23 Grand Slam titles under her belt, has been flaunting her post-retirement fitness regime on Instagram. The sporting legend, who hung up her racket three years ago after a gruelling match against Ajla Tomljanovic at the US Open, has been keeping fans updated with her life beyond the court. After waving an emotional goodbye to her supporters at Flushing Meadows, Serena welcomed her second child in August 2023 and has since been dedicated to maintaining her athletic physique. Her recent Instagram snaps showcase her toned body and sculpted abs, accompanied by the caption: "Working out and working on my angles." Known for her powerful build and dominance on the court, Williams appears to have slimmed down since her playing days, as evidenced by a video she posted in January last year, where she expressed her commitment to shedding weight. "Alright, I'm getting back into the swing of things," she declared in the clip. "This is not my usual weight, but it'll do until I get back to where I need to be." Meanwhile, Venus Williams, Serena's elder sister, is gearing up for a comeback at the DC Open in Washington with a wildcard entry, marking her first WTA Tour match since March 2024, reports the Express. "There's something truly special about DC, the energy, the fans, the history," Venus Williams gushed as her participation was confirmed. "This city has always shown me so much love, and I can't wait to compete there again." Despite being a seven-time Grand Slam champion, Venus Williams notably sat out all four majors last year – a first since she turned pro in 1997.

Clarkson's Farm star forced to call 999 during heatwave over fire risk
Clarkson's Farm star forced to call 999 during heatwave over fire risk Kaleb Cooper, who has become famous since appearing on the Amazon Prime show alongside Jeremy Clarkson, took to social media to share the warning Kaleb Cooper, a familiar face from Clarkson's Farm, has criticised individuals for releasing Chinese lanterns into the Cotswolds countryside amid a heatwave. The farming contractor urgently contacted emergency services yesterday upon spotting the lanterns, which are known to pose a significant wildfire risk according to fire services. The Oxfordshire native and breakout star of the show with Jeremy Clarkson took to social media on Saturday (July 12) to voice his concerns. In an Instagram post titled "what is going on in the world" Kaleb shared a video message. Although the video mainly showed a shadowy figure, it included Kaleb speaking directly to the camera, expressing his disbelief: "I can't quite believe what I'm seeing at the moment." He continued, revealing his immediate action: "I've just called this in to 999 but someone has felt the need to light two Chinese lanterns in and around the Chipping Norton area.

I'm looking at both of them as we speak right now." Kaleb then questioned the rationale behind such actions during dangerous weather conditions: "But what goes through someone's mind when they decide to light two Chinese lanterns in the middle of a heatwave. "We've hardly had any rain since March. Jesus, honestly. What's going on with the world," reports Gloucestershire Live. His followers quickly echoed his sentiments in the comments section. Kaleb stars alongside Jeremy Clarkson in Clarkson's Farm (Image: Amazon Prime Video ) One follower emphasised the need for awareness: "People need educating mate. Spread the message." Another supporter agreed with Kaleb's warning: "Well said Kaleb, this could quite easily start a wild fire." A third individual expressed concern saying: "Some people really don't have a clue. The farmer's field next to mine is that dry I can literally put my whole hand down the cracks of the soil." Meanwhile, another added their voice to the chorus of concerns: "They should never do this for any celebration. They let some of these off for a wedding near me. They set fire to someone's house and barn when they landed. Plus livestock can ingest them when they land. It's like balloon releases. It's littering, pure and simple. Should be banned." Kaleb was praised by his followers for his actions (Image:) On its website, Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service offers advice about sky lanterns, describing them: "Sky lanterns are a beautiful sight - but the potential damage they can cause is significant. "They use the heat of a naked flame to float. They're not only a fire hazard but also a danger to livestock, agriculture, camping activities, thatched properties and hazardous material sites. "Whilst ignition and launch are mostly in the control of the user, the actual flight path and end destination are not. There's no guarantee the fuel cell will be completely out and cooled when the lantern lands, so any contact with a flammable surface could start a fire. "There's evidence of them causing fires, wasting police time, being mistaken for distress flares, misleading aircraft and killing livestock."

James Martin reveals extra precautions to protect himself after London attack
James Martin has revealed the extreme lengths he has taken to protect himself after thieves smashed up his car in broad daylight. The ITV chef recently declared that 'London is broken' after the windscreen of his car was smashed in. In a post on Instagram, the 52-year-old shared a photo of his car with the caption: 'So in a week two of my friends cars got stolen. 'One other mate got mugged and now I had this happen all in broad daylight all in central London. London is broken big time.' Now, however, Martin has taken a step further by sharing a picture of his dogs, a Belgian Malinois, in a 'working dog' harness. Alongside the image, he captioned the post by simply saying: 'London.' After sharing what had happened on his miserable morning, fans rallied round the star, sharing kind words on the post. Joanne Lokwiya wrote, 'So sorry this has happened to you. The whole of the UK is the same, the laws need to change and we need more police on the streets'. 'This is so sad, what once was an incredible capital city is now a centre for crime, ' added Sarah O'Sullivan. Catherine Evans, meanwhile, said, 'This is so sad, what once was an incredible capital city is now a centre for crime'. This comes after the TV personality revealed his secret health battle that is making his ITV role 'really difficult'. The 52-year-old said he finds it easier to cook and chat with the guests on his shows than do any formal hosting because he has 'severe' dyslexia. As a result, the language processing disorder makes it hard for him to read an autocue. Appearing on Kaye Adams' BBC Radio Scotland show, he praised her work and said: 'I'm watching you do your thing while I'm listening to music play and you're like a conductor. More Trending 'I can't do what you do and I certainly can't when I've been on Loose Women with you as well.' He complimented: 'I certainly admire anyone who's able to do that.' As well as presenting his cooking show, the 52-year-old has presented James Martin's Great British Adventure, Islands to Highlands and James Martin's French Adventure.
