Jon Heder Talks Napoleon Dynamite, Chapstick, Disco and Life as a "Weirdo" Icon


Listen Later

Hi Everyone, hope you’re having a wonderful Tuesday! This week’s guest is my Pacific Northwest buddy and star of Napoleon Dynamite, Jon Heder! If you haven’t seen Napoleon Dynamite (I don’t know how that’s possible), please go out and watch it RIGHT NOW and then come back for this interview. It was so much fun to chat with Jon and hear the story behind how he created such an iconic character. We talk about where he learned to dance, how he and the director transformed the story from a student film into a massive hit and what it was like managing such an insane level of overnight fame. It’s been quite awhile since that movie came out and the truth is, Jon is so much more than that character. He is a dad, he’s a big outdoors guy and he’s still a phenomenal actor! He is starring in the new film Waltzing With Brando, alongside Billy Zane, and we talk about his experience learning more about Marlon Brando, shooting in Tahiti and his personal policy on nudity on camera. This is exactly the conversation you’d expect from a guy like Jon— it’s absurd, goofy and earnest all at the same time. Be sure to stick around for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the interview over a bowl of tots!
