Jason Biggs is an actor and comedian who is known for his roles in American Pie, Orange Is the New Black, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. He is also known for his controversial tweets and comments that have landed him in hot water several times. Here are 10 of his most controversial quotes.
- “Anyone wanna buy my Malaysian Airlines frequent flier miles?” Biggs tweeted this joke shortly after the news of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 being shot down over Ukraine in 2014, killing all 298 people on board. He faced a lot of backlash for his insensitive remark and later apologized, saying he was “stupid and in bad taste”.
- “I’d like to dedicate my next tweet to my new favorite person: @SarahPalinUSA I love you so much. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.” Biggs tweeted this sarcastic message in 2012, mocking the former Alaska governor and vice presidential candidate. He also made several crude jokes about her family and appearance, which drew criticism from conservatives and Palin supporters.
- “I’m married. I’m not attracted to any other woman, ever.” Biggs said this in an interview with Collider in 2012, when asked about his role as a married man in American Reunion. He later clarified that he was joking and that he finds other women attractive, but he loves his wife and would never cheat on her.
- “There’s obviously some appeal in scenes for me – there’s something I respond to. I keep doing those films where I put myself out there like that. I guess I look for those kinds of moments and I pride myself on being an actor who will do just about anything for a laugh – so long as it’s within context of the scene in the movie and it’s not gratuitous.” Biggs said this in an interview with Indie London in 2009, explaining why he keeps doing raunchy comedy films like American Pie. He also said that he likes to challenge himself and push the boundaries of what is acceptable.
- “Well, I’m proud to say American Pie was the kind of crazy, gross-out film that guys thought was the greatest.” Biggs said this in an interview with A-Z Quotes, reflecting on his breakthrough role as Jim Levenstein in American Pie, where he famously had sex with a pie. He also said that he was happy to be part of a film that resonated with so many people and became a cultural phenomenon.
- “We all approached doing a sequel with great trepidation and skepticism.” Biggs said this in an interview with A-Z Quotes, talking about his decision to reprise his role as Jim in American Pie 2. He also said that he was worried about ruining the original film’s legacy and disappointing the fans, but he was glad that the sequel turned out well and was well-received.
- “Getting married has shifted my focus, in such a profound way. You just realize, ‘Oh, I can’t be so selfish anymore. There’s someone else.’” Biggs said this in an interview with Collider in 2012, discussing how his marriage to actress Jenny Mollen changed his perspective on life and career. He also said that he became more responsible and mature after tying the knot.
- “Physical comedy is my favorite thing in the world to do.” Biggs said this in an interview with A-Z Quotes, expressing his love for making people laugh with his body language and facial expressions. He also said that he enjoys doing stunts and pratfalls, even if they hurt sometimes.
- “I’ve heard every pie joke in the book. I’m still waiting for an original one.” Biggs said this in an interview with A-Z Quotes, responding to the constant references to his iconic scene with a pie in American Pie. He also said that he doesn’t mind the jokes and that he embraces his association with the film.
