Christopher Mintz-Plasse has revealed his mum had to watch him film his sex scene in Superbad, as he was underage at the time - also admitting he had 'no idea' what he was doing as he was also a virgin back then.
Mintz-Plasse, 31, starred the 2007 coming-of-age comedy as Fogell, who was reborn as the iconic McLovin' after acquiring a dodgy fake ID.
In an interview with Rich Eisen for The Rich Eisen Show, Mintz-Plasse was tasked with setting the record straight on a number rumours about his career, playing a game of 'Celebrity True or False'.

Eisen asked the actor: "Because you were only 17 at the time - you were the youngest cast member - your mum had to be on set for all your scenes, including your sex scene in the movie. Is that a true story?"
Speaking via phone, Mintz-Plasse replied: "She did not have to be there for everything, but she 100 percent had to be there for the sex scene, absolutely."
When asked if that was 'weird', he continued: "Yeah, it's definitely uncomfortable when you're - at the time, I was actually a virgin, so I had no idea what I was doing.

"I was very nervous, very scared, and then I look over to Video Village [the nickname given to the area around the monitor on set] and my mum is eating a handful of popcorn talking to the producers."
While Mintz-Plasse said the moment was 'very, very surreal', he said his mum seemed to be enjoying herself.
"She was having the time of her life!" he laughed.
The 2007 comedy, written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg and directed by Greg Mottola, is beloved by teens and adults alike.

Following the misadventures of Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) on their path to partying and losing their virginity, it's become a rite of passage for subsequent generations.
Speaking to LADbible last year, Seth Rogen vowed never to do a sequel, purely because the original film is too damn perfect.
Rogen said: "I think of all the movies we've ever made, Superbad is the one I'd 100 percent probably never touch.

"Honestly, I don't think it requires improvement or anything to be built upon it. I'm unbelievably proud of it, it really holds up - people still watch it, high school kids come up to me telling me that they watched it for the first time and how they loved it.
"It's worked its way into being viewed as one of the better high school movies that's out there.
"I'm so terrified of subtracting from it in any way with a bad sequel or spin-off that I'd never do it. I have so few actual good accomplishments that I'm horrified to f*** with the ones I have."
