How long have you followed the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books, know about Ed Asner, his age and net worth
You may already be aware that the films are adaptations of Jeff Kinney’s 2007 release of the first book in the series of the same name. Three live-action sequels have since been released as a result of the 2010 film adaptation.
Who Is Ed Asner Paid Tribtute To In Diary Of A Wimpy Kid Rodrick Rules, His Age, Movies, Net Worth, Death Cause
Released between 2011 and 2017, these include Rodrick Rules, Dog Days, and The Long Haul. On the other hand, the series received a reimagined animated film in 2021, titled simply “The Diary of a Wimpy Kid,” which was released on Disney+.
In any case, it now has a sequel with the exact same name as the aforementioned sequel to the original. Audiences have been interested in learning more about the homage to Ed Asner in Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Rodrick Rules ever since it debuted on Disney+ on Friday, December 2nd, 2022. Who is Ed Asner, then?
Ed Asner’s Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: A Tribute To Rodrick Rules
The animated film ends with a memorial note honouring the cherished American actor, “In Memory of Ed Asner, 1929–2021.” He tragically died on August 29, 2021, at the age of 91, at his Los Angeles, California, residence, from natural causes. Given that Ed voiced Grandpa Heffley in Rodrick Rules, which is his last credit in the Diary Of A Wimpy Kid series and the actor’s final performance overall, the tribute is especially heartfelt.
Asner died of natural causes at his home in Tarzana with his net worth at $10 million.
On the other hand, audiences may be most familiar with Ed outside of his role as Grandpa Heffley as Carl Fredricksen in the 2009 Disney Pixar film Up. Additionally, he appeared in a number of television programmes, including Dead to Me, Grace and Frankie, Cobra Kai, and The Mary Tyler Moore Show, where he played Lou Grant (Abe Rifkin).
You’ll also likely recognise him as Santa in the 2003 comedy classic Elf opposite Will Ferrell because it’s the holiday season.
