Wonder character came with ease: Jacob Tremblay

Los Angeles Nov 25 (IANS) Child artiste Jacob Tremblay says he felt a deep connection with his "Wonder" character Auggie Pullman.

Also starring Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson "Wonder" tells the story of a 10-year-old boy (Tremblay) born with facial deformities who makes the transition from home schooling to a private school. The film is directed by American novelist screenwriter and film director Stephen Chbosky.

"It all came with ease because I felt Auggie s story was so important to tell. The most exciting part for me was getting to be a kid who helps the world be a better place " Tremblay said in a statement.

"I thought the book was super super good and it made my mom cry. It s about Auggie s struggle to fit in and it s also about making people feel comfortable instead of scared. I would read this binder every day especially before a really serious scene to help me prepare " he added.

"Wonder" is set to release in India on December 1 by PVR Pictures.
