#1 GEEK SPEAKS
The lowdown on Superbad' s"McLovin"
CHRISTOPHER MINTZ-PLASSE
may not be a household name
(yet), but after this past summer,
moviegoers everywhere are familiar with
McLovin, his hapless character from the
hit comedy Superbad. In his first film
role, Mintz-Plasse, 18, not only stole the
picture from co-stars Jonah Hill and Mi
chael Cera, but he also gave the world
the hippest geek since Napoleon Dyna
mite. We spoke to CMP on the eve of
the DVD release.
How were you discovered?
At an open audition. The
producers were looking to
cast the part for three months
or so, and they sent e-mails

me about it because

a nerdy student who
looks 15.
Do you have a lot of 1
nerdy qualities in real life?

ably my least nerdiest quality. And I
don’t have a girlfriend, but I’m not hor

so I’m not a nerd in that regard.
Why do you think that nerdy characters
are so popular in films?
People like to see guys who are usually
getting beaten up win. It’s usually the
hunky dudes who get the women, those

ber. I choked. It happens.
Do you still have your fake ID from the film?
No, they never gave it to me after the
movie ended. I was kinda upset. I have no
idea where it is. Maybe it’s floating around
at some prop guy’s home. He’s probably
putting it up on eßay right now. ca
