Jon Header and his lack of previous experience with women

Posted on March 6th, 2007 in Jon Heder, Movies, The scoop

john_heder180.jpg Jon Heder, famous for his role in Napoleon Dynamite, sounds like a sweet and innocent kind of guy.

His hit movie in 2004 turned him into a lovable loser on screen and an unlikely heartthrob off screen.

He was recently interviewed for the upcoming April issue of Elle magazine. During the interview he was asked if there was a “buffet of eager women” waiting for him after the movie came out. Heder jokingly replied “Maybe there was a buffet at some location that my bus just did not reach. But yeah, there was definitely this ‘I love you! I love you!’ this and that.”

The Mormon actor, happily married and expecting his first child with his wife of 5 years was never tempted by the movies groupies “You don’t want to hook up with all those greasy girls. And they don’t want you. They want Napoleon. And I wasn’t about to go back to that perm.”

Heder, who will costar in a new movie “Blades of Glory” with Will Farrell, also took the time to talk about one of his most embarrassing moments. He says he didn’t have a lot of previous experience with women since he and his wife Kirsten were college sweethearts. He does remember one embarrassing moment – “I had my first kiss when I was 17 or 18. The second time we kissed I got a little excited and I was wearing these really loose shorts that didn’t leave much to the imagination.” he went on to say “I tried to angle my body away and divert her eyes by saying, ‘Hey, look at the stars.’ From then on I wore tighter jeans.”

Aw, doesn’t he sound like a nice guy?

    haha it was funny to read him say:

    “You don’t want to hook up with all those greasy girls. And they don’t want you. They want Napoleon!”

    …if only his character in the film could have been that lucky :)
