Jacob Tremblay shared photos and videos from his high school graduation ceremony in Canada, simply writing, “Congratulations WGSS Class of 2024!” in a caption
The years are flying by for Jacob Tremblay.
Tremblay, the 17-year-old actor best known for his breakout role in the 2015 movie Room, shared on Instagram on Tuesday, June 18, that he has graduated from Walnut Grove Secondary School in Langley, British Columbia. The actor posted multiple photos of himself wearing his cap and gown to the social media platform, as well as a video of himself receiving his diploma on stage and a second video showing him making a humorous pose during the ceremony.
“Congratulations WGSS Class of 2024!” he wrote in a caption to his photos. In his post, Tremblay also shared a photo of his entire graduating class standing together outside their school. In his Instagram Stories, the Good Boys star also shared a photo of a pair of white sneakers with a cap and gown drawn on one shoe; the phrase “Class of 2024” appeared to be drawn on the other shoe.
Tremblay, who will turn 18 on October 6, received his first screen credits in 2013 with appearances in the television series Motive and Mr. Young, as well as with a voice role in that year’s The Smurfs 2. He gained fame at just 9 years old for co-starring with Brie Larson in Room, which followed the pair as a mother-son duo who have been held captive by a man for Tremblay’s character’s entire life.
In recent years, Tremblay has remained actively working in the film and television industry while completing high school in his native Canada. He memorably voiced the fish Flounder in Disney’s 2023 live-action remake of The Little Mermaid and has appeared in or voiced characters in six total films in the last two years. Tremblay most recently voiced the lead character in the Netflix animated film Orion and the Dark, released in February.
Tremblay has made a point of calling out how much he’s grown up in the years since he first caught moviegoers’ attentions in Room. Shortly after the actor’s 16th birthday in October 2022, he shared two photos on X, then known as Twitter, showing him at 9 years old in November 2015 side-by-side with an image of himself at the 2022 premiere of his animated movie My Father’s Dragon.
“How it started vs how it’s going…” Tremblay wrote along with those photos, referencing the internet trend.
Tremblay has a number of projects in the works, including two movies scheduled for release in 2024, according to his IMDb page.
