American Pie star Thomas Ian Nicholas, 37, looks very different 19 years on from first film as he attends Comic Con in Philadelphia
The Kevin Myers actor showcased a shaggier hairstyle which was worlds away from his clean-cut all-American look that launched him to fame and won the hearts of many teenage girls
THOMAS Ian Nicholas looks very different to his character Kevin Myers in American Pie 19 years on from the film.
The 37-year-old made a rare public appearance at the 2018 Wizard World Comic Con in Pennsylvania, where he took to the stage to perform.
He showcased a shaggier hairstyle which was worlds away from his clean-cut all-American look that launched him to fame in American Pie and won the hearts of many teenage girls.
The original 1999 movie followed the sexual journeys of five high school juniors who make a pact to lose their virginity before graduating.
The film’s title refers to a scene where main character Jim has sex with a pie after being told that third base feels like “warm apple pie”.
The flick shocked audiences with its explicit scenes but became an instant box-office hit.
The resounding success of the first movie lead to further instalments of the American Pie franchise; American Pie 2, American Wedding and more recently American Reunion in 2012. It also led to a number of other spin-offs.
Thomas played nerdy but handsome Kevin Myers who dated Vicky, played by Tara Reid.
Earlier this year he revealed to People TV that when he first read the script he assumed the film was a porno.
“So I open up the first page and it was Kevin and Vicki, and Vicki was giving Kevin some instructions on how to use his fingers.”
He added: “I immediately closed the script, threw it in the trash, called my agent, said, ‘Why are you sending me porn? No thank you.’”
The star described filming the sex scenes as “uncomfortable” and recalled how he had to try to control signs of excitement so that it didn’t “become something real in front of 25 crew members”.
Besides his portrayal of Kevin in the hit teen comedy, Thomas is best known for playing Henry Rowengartner in Rookie of the Year and Walt Disney in Walt Before Mickey.
Since starring in American Pie, Thomas has also gone on to star as Frank Sinatra Jr. in Stealing Sinatra and even featured in a Grey’s Anatomy episode.
He married Colette ‘DJ Colette’ Marino in 2007, with whom he has two children.
