Jason Biggs Shares Hilarious Experience Showing Son Iconic ‘American Pie’ Scene
Actor Jason Biggs recently shared a humorous experience regarding a pivotal moment from his role in the classic film, American Pie. As a father of two pre-teen sons, Sid and Lazlo, he found himself needing to explain a famous scene featuring his character, Jim Levenstein, and a rather unconventional apple pie incident. This scene has resurfaced in conversation thanks to his curious children.
Explaining the Iconic Scene
During an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Julia Cunningham Show, Biggs revealed that his 11-year-old, Sid, learned about the infamous pie scene from friends. Struggling to manage the narrative, he chose to address it directly. “They kept hearing about American Pie and pie, asking, ‘Daddy, what do you do with the pie?’” he mentioned. The actor approached the situation as a form of a sex talk, considering how much information to provide at this young age.
A Surprising Encounter
Biggs recalled a memorable incident while walking in New York with his family. A passerby humorously yelled, “Hey, it’s the pie-f*!” Fortunately, neither of his sons understood what was said. However, this prompted Biggs to eventually show Sid the actual scene to preempt any misconceptions from friends at school.
Sid’s Reaction
Biggs admitted that Sid guessed what would happen in the scene before viewing it. Despite his embarrassment, he was curious enough to watch. “He laughed and laughed. He was a little uncomfortable for sure,” Biggs stated, highlighting the mix of humor and awkwardness that came with the moment.
The Impact of American Pie
Biggs previously described the apple pie scene as a “turning point” in his career. At just 20 years old, he faced the challenge of performing this controversial act on film. Initially anxious, he ultimately gained confidence when the crew erupted in laughter during the filming. This reaction encouraged him to embrace bold comedy in the future.
