'American Pie' Star, 49, Is Unrecognizable in Interview: 'I Hope She Is Ok'
By far, one of the most iconic movies of the late 1990s was American Pie. The comedy featured a group of high school seniors coming to terms with the fact that their lives were about to change drastically after graduating -- all while trying to lose their virginity before getting their diplomas. The film starred Jason Biggs, Chris Klein, Shannon Elizabeth, Natasha Lyonne, Seann William Scott, Alyson Hannigan, Eddie Kaye Thomas, and Tara Reid, who all practically became household names in the wake of the film's success. Now, 26 years after the classic flick, a clip of an interview with Reid, now 49, was featured on the Back to the Best podcast TikTok account. She looks so different from her "Vicki Lathum" days that fans were taken aback, to the point where some are a bit concerned. After seeing the video, one person said, "That's… I mean… I hope she is ok." Another viewer added, "Bless her heart," and someone else noted, "Wow. She looks so different." Meanwhile, a fan and supporter chimed in with, "She was good in the movies she was in. Good for her. I'd be dead if I ever made it in Hollywood. Too much is never enough for me hahaha."Reid has struggled with alcohol in the past. In 2008, a source told PEOPLE, "Tara has a problem with alcohol. It's been at the root of much discomfort between herself and her family and friends... She becomes erratic and is a completely different person when she's intoxicated, which is hard for people close to her to watch." However, she seems to be much healthier these days, even appearing on the red carpet for the film Pabrik Gula in Los Angeles in March. While she might look much different than she did during her American Pie days, that's to be expected, given the fact that the movie was over 25 years ago. (Give a girl a break.) Regardless, she'll always be the gorgeous, innocent yet edgy, blonde bombshell that teens who grew up in the 1990s will never forget. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

‘American Pie' star Tara Reid pushes for a sequel as she hits indie film red carpet
Tara Reid is feeling nostalgic as she looks toward her career's future. Reid hit the red carpet Wednesday for the Indonesian horror film "Pabrik Gula" (or "Sugar Mill" as it's known in the U.S.), wearing a black leather jacket and long skirt. Her appearance at the premiere comes just a few days after she shared some throwback pictures of her "American Pie" days on Instagram. "Nothing like the good ol days with my cast! Who's ready for another American Pie? I think it needs to happen!" she wrote in the caption. The 49-year-old has been working plenty in the years since the hit teen comedy, with films like the SYFY channel's "Sharknado" series and a recent appearance on the CBS sitcom "Ghosts" in 2023. In 2023, Reid also appeared on the Fox reality series "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test," looking to prove she was more than her early 2000s party girl image. "I feel like I've been bullied a lot, you know, in my life. And I kind of wanted to do the show because I wanted people to see the other side of me," she told Fox News Digital at the time. "And stop bullying me for kind of always the same things. And to let them see, you know, I'm not just this girl who's 21 and partying in 'American Pie.'" The negative attention prompted Reid to step back from Hollywood. "I needed a break," she said. "You know, I think everyone needs a break from something when it becomes too much." Since then, Reid has concentrated on starring in several independent projects, including the upcoming "Dr. Quarantine," which she recently earned a best actress award for at the Hollywood Reels film festival. "This award means so much to me.. I want to thank my director White Cross for challenging me to bring this character alive and pushing me past any limits, and my cast and crew for all of your hard work to bring this project alive. So thankful for the outcome and for the success of this film to win another award and be recognized for the thing I love most in this world, acting," she wrote on social media. Reid continued, "Thank you so much to my fans, I couldn't do this without you thank you for all your love, the comments and support have truly made my heart happy."
