AMERICAN PIE STAR BITTEN BY MONKEY WHILE ON VISITING GIBRALTAR
American Pie actor Jason Biggs went ape when he was viciously attacked by a monkey while on a visit to Gibraltar.
The 31-year-old actor was so upset that his dream holiday to the Mediterranean rock had turned into a nightmare that he fled home.
Biggs was enjoying a hike in the wilderness on the British territory, with his American Pie co-star Eddie Kaye Thomas, when the wild monkey went for him.
"Jason and Eddie decided to go on the trip to celebrate the 10 year anniversary of Pie," a friend of the actor said. "They were hiking in The woods when this monkey suddenly leapt on Jason from a tree and tried to bite his face off.
"Jason's travelling companions managed to fend the beast off and Jason, thankfully wasn't seriously hurt, just shaken up."
In fact, Biggs was so shaken up that he cut the trip short and returned to the US, according to reports in America.
Thomas' spokeswoman, Eloise Konialian, said: "The Monkey tried to attack Jason and steal food out of his bag but Eddie fended him off and saved the day."
