Wanna see my secret freckle?
---Fregley, to Greg on his way to Rowley's house

Fregley is a widely unpopular student (exception of Hard Luck where he becomes popular) at Greg's middle school, and is a minor antagonist in the series. Like Rowley, he has appeared many times with his mouth wide open, much more often than most of the characters.

Personality

Fregley tends to be disgusting as his character in the book series, always hanging out in his front yard alone doing a wide range of disturbing activities, such as talking to Greg about repulsive topics; his secret freckle and talking about his scab and saying I bet you can fit your foot in my mouth are examples. In Diary of a Wimpy Kid, it is revealed that he has his own secret language. For example, he shouts "Juice, juice!" when he needs to use the boys bathroom; teachers view this literally and often end up giving him juice out of frustration. He also has a crush on Ruby Bird, a girl who has a habit of biting people.In his page in the Do-It-Yourself book,he goes to a counsellor who called him "unpredictable and dangerous", in the same page it is shown he thinks that a little squirrel can talk back to him using its mind and also with the quite of weird and disgusting questions gives a hint of how he thinks and it also explains his unacceptable behavior. He may have ADHD.

Appearance

Fregley is illustrated with glasses, short, rounded hair and a wide-open mouth with rounded teeth, a black shirt and a scarf in Greg's journals. He also has an open mouth, which he closed only in Hard Luck.

In the film, he goes through a massive change of character. He tends to wear unusual clothing created by his mother using old clothes.[4]

Name Variants

Fregley's name can be spelled two different ways. Fregley is the term used in the movies and books. Several sites however, including the online version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid, use Fregly. Some pages about Fregley tend to spell his name, Fregly. Despite this, since the book and film term is mostly used and on websites and franchises also, hence the official term is Fregley.
