After his dad starred inAmerican Pie, people made awkward assumptions.
In 1999, Eugene Levy emerged from theraunchy teen comedyAmerican Pieas Americas most sex-positive dad.
There were no pies in his teen years, he clarified.
I dont even know about the ingredients of an apple pie, but thats a whole other conversation.
With almost 25 years of hindsight, Dan stands by his decision.
He told Clarkson that theyve still never watchedAmerican Pietogether and his dynamic with his dad is different than Jims.
A Different Kind Of Dad
Funnily enough, many of Eugenes scenes were improvised.
He didnt sign on until he got to try his own spin.
I said, I dont want to play that, he recalled.
Just a square dad, trying to do the right thing.
And in that way at least, maybe Jim and Dans dads werent so different.
