Dan Levy's high school classmates thought 'American Pie' was about him

Dan Levy wants all his former classmates to know that he’s never done anything with a pie other than eat it.

On Friday’s episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, Levy described how his father, actor Eugene Levy, starring in the famous 1999 sex comedy American Pie led to people at his school thinking that the movie was based on his life.

“For most of my high school life, people thought the movie was, like, a biography of my life,” Levy told Clarkson. “Which is really unfortunate, because I would’ve killed to have had a life that interesting.”

“There were no pies,” he continued. “I don’t even know about the ingredients of an apple pie, but that’s a whole other conversation,” the Canadian actor joked.

Levy also revealed that he was originally going to attend the film’s premiere with his dad, but decided not to, thanks to a friend’s advice.

“[The friend told me] 'Run in the opposite direction of wherever your parents are in relation to that film,'” he said. “And I did. And I have yet to see it with them.”

However, he has seen the movie without them, saying, “It’s a weird thing to grow up watching your dad just hand out porn to some other kid.”

Levy was on the show supporting his film Good Grief, in which he stars and also wrote and directed. The movie follows a gay man who is struggling after his husband of many years dies in a car accident. With his two best friends (Ruth Negga, Himesh Patel), he travels to Paris to try to get some closure and move on with his life.

Good Grief is currently streaming on Netflix.
