Jason Biggs lifted the lid on Jim’s love interest in American Pie and we’re not talking about that one time in bandcamp. <\/p>\n

Fans of the comedy franchise will no doubt remember Nadia<\/a>, the ‘hot international student’, who went on to become somewhat of a ‘sex symbol’ in the early 2000s. <\/p>\n

In a 2019 interview with Page Six<\/a>, Shannon Elizabeth<\/a> said she remained ‘honored by it’, but there’s still ‘a part of my being that doesn\u2019t believe it’.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be remembered I think for anything and anything positive in that sense, I mean, I\u2019m blessed and grateful for it. I really, really am,\u201d the actor from Texas<\/a>, who was 24 at the time of the first film<\/a>, added. <\/p>\n

While she enjoyed working with Biggs, the actor previously addressed a certain scene that, if you watch it in hindsight, doesn’t look great.<\/p>\n

\"ShannonShannon Elizabeth appears as Nadia in three films (Paul Archuleta\/FilmMagic)<\/p>\n

In the original 1999 movie<\/a>, Jim invites Nadia to study in his bedroom<\/a> and sets up a webcam for his friends to secretly watch her when she arrives… creepy, right?<\/p>\n

Jim leaves the room while his crush starts to get undressed and runs over to his friend’s house to watch the stream live.<\/p>\n

When Nadia discovers a porno mag in his draw, she begins to masturbate on his bed and the horny highschooler darts back home with the hopes of getting lucky.<\/p>\n

\"WeWe all know the scene (Universal Pictures)<\/p>\n

He then makes an advance on Nadia – and she’s DTF – until Jim accidentally ejaculates twice, yes twice, before anything happens. <\/p>\n

And to make matters worse, the stream is accidentally sent to the entire school, leaving himself and Nadia humiliated.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging how the scene would look today, Biggs accepted that ‘it wouldn’t get made now and it couldn’t get made now’.<\/p>\n

He told BuzzFeed News<\/a> in 2020: “It would be unacceptable what that represents, but at the time I remember reading the script and reading that part and being shocked that there was cameras on computers. That’s what I took away from it originally!”<\/p>\n

On what actually went down, Elizabeth revealed that ‘it was a closed set and it was just me in this room and the boom guy above me’.<\/p>\n

\"BiggsBiggs said they wouldn’t make such a scene in today’s world (Universal Pictures)<\/p>\n

\u201cI was like, \u2018This is so weird.\u2019 It was square room they had built in the middle of a warehouse and we made everyone that didn\u2019t need to be there leave set,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the main thing I remember, just me and the boom guy, and trying to make jokes with the directors and make light of it because if I wasn\u2019t nervous maybe they wouldn\u2019t be so nervous\u2026 I just tried to make it no big deal.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the film, Nadia is sent back home to Slovakia but returns later on.<\/p>\n

\u201cGosh, do I get sent home?\u201d Elizabeth asked, adding: \u201cIf this had come out after the #MeToo movement<\/a>, there would definitely be a problem. I think that it would have gone down differently.\u201d<\/p>\n

She appears as Nadia in three films within the main franchise: American Pie (1999), American Pie 2 (2001), and American Reunion (2012).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason Biggs lifted the lid on Jim’s love interest in American Pie and we’re not talking about that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519953,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[830,96,2332,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-519952","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-celebrity","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-film","11":"tag-movies","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom","14":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519952\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519953"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
