Jennifer Coolidge has revealed that she once posed as a twin in order to date two different men at the same time.
The American Pie star appeared on a recent episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show and reminisced about her time in Hawaii, where she has been filming a new project.
“I’ve had all sorts of crazy experiences here,” she said, prompting Clarkson to ask her to elaborate.
“When you’re on vacation alone, you can kind of create anything you want,” Coolidge explained.
“I met these two guys and I liked them both, so I told them I had an identical twin, and I dated both guys… for two weeks.”
Her revelation sent Clarkson into hysterics, despite the singer commenting that it sounded “exhausting”.
“I don’t know if I would have the guts to do that now, but at the time, it was sort of a great decision because when you're younger, you can get away with anything,” Coolidge said.
While arguably best known for her performances as Jeanine Stifler in the American Pie series, Coolidge has also starred in films such as Like a Boss, Best in Show and Promising Young Woman with Carey Mulligan.
On TV, she had cameos in Friends, Glee, 2 Broke Girls and Sex and the City.
In 2018, she reprised another of her famous roles, as Paulette Bonafonte from Legally Blonde, for Ariana Grande’s music video for “Thank u, next”.
