Jason Biggs Opens Up About Terrifying Close Call: His Kids Almost Stumbled Upon Notoriously Raunchy ‘American Pie’ Scene

Jason Biggs is constantly concerned that his children will stumble upon his involvement in American Pie. Despite not having to explain it to them yet, the actor, 45, admits that he frequently contemplates the possibility and has had numerous discussions with his wife, Jenny Mollen, about the situation. This topic remains at the forefront of his mind as he promotes his collaboration with Edwards Desserts.

The actor noted that it has been hard to keep his most iconic role a secret from his children.

"Our eldest child, who is 9 years old, is quite perceptive. When we are out in public, people often approach me and bring up American Pie, specifically mentioning the infamous pie scene," shared Biggs, who is a parent to sons Sid, 9, and Lazlo, 5, with Mollen. "Sid, being curious, often asks me about it, wondering what it's all about. I reassure him, saying, 'No need to worry. It's just a scene from a movie called American Pie.'"

Biggs gained fame with his portrayal of the iconic and somewhat awkward character Jim Levenstein in the 1999 film American Pie. He went on to reprise the role in three sequels before reuniting with the original cast for American Reunion in 2012. The film, a raunchy coming-of-age comedy about a group of teenage boys on a quest to lose their virginity, has surprised fans with its NSFW scenes.

To protect his children, the Orange Is the New Black actor has made an effort to shield them from learning about the movie too soon. "We try to divert their attention because now is not the right time. But we also want to be proactive. We don't want them to find out from friends or the internet," Biggs confided to Us. "Of course, those are constant threats. We have to find a solution. It's all about the timing and how we approach it."

Biggs shared a recent incident where his oldest child came close to discovering the true meaning behind the film's title. He explained that not long ago, someone approached him and exclaimed, "Oh my God, you're the guy that blanked the pie." Thankfully, his son Sid was preoccupied and didn't hear the comment. Biggs expressed his relief, as he and his wife Jenny exchanged glances, realizing the potential impact it could have had. He emphasized that they constantly face similar situations in their daily lives, making it a challenging and uncertain experience.

“There are ongoing discussions, although nothing has been confirmed yet. However, I am really hopeful, and I know I'm not the only one, that we can revive the franchise. I would eagerly sign up for another movie without hesitation," he expressed. "Of course, many factors would need to align for that to happen."

Biggs has joined forces with Edwards Desserts, the leading frozen crème pie brand in America, to commemorate his character's iconic pie scene in American Pie. Reflecting on the movie and the scene itself, Biggs expresses that it evokes feelings of happiness, positivity, and gratitude. He is amazed that even after 25 years, people still comment on the pie scene and eagerly anticipate another movie. As the 25-year anniversary of American Pie approaches, Biggs recognizes the perfect synergy between his partnership with Edwards Desserts and their long-standing presence in his household. Additionally, he sought a partner who could embrace and playfully embrace his association with being known as "The Pie Guy."

"It felt like the perfect time to do this," Biggs expressed. "One of the highlights of this campaign was creating a unique pie flavor called Pie Lovers Passion Fruit. It features a delectable baked vanilla crust, creamy tropical flavors, a touch of jellies on top, and a sprinkle of gold leaf. No offense to apple pie, but this flavor aligns more with my personal taste and preferences for pies and desserts in general.
