It is such a powerful way of telling people how they should behave to others. It reminded me to find moments in every day to choose the nice approach with other people. I hurled myself to the mercy of the producers and asked them to please, let me be in this movie. I wanted be the mom`
Speaking about his preparation for the character Wonder boy Jacob Tremblay said, "I along with my parents researched about facial differences on line to learn about it. I found a group of kids in sick kids' hospital who are affected by Facial Deformities. I sent them a video asking them about their experiences, tips or anything they wanted me to know. Later, I got letters from them with their experiences and tips and I put it all in a binder and would read it before my scenes.`
