Jonathan Heder - Nerd/Mormon

'Giant magazine gives "Napoleon Dynamite" star Jon Heder the cover this month - and I found out that the kid is from Colorado.

Seems he was born of strict Mormon parents here, then raised in Salem, Ore. That's why he says "freakin' idiot" instead of, well, you know. He may be a Hollywood movie star, but he's a strict Mormon who values the purity of his body, as do I. According to Giant, Heder "does not drink, do drugs, smoke, or, excluding the occasional Dr. Pepper lapse, drink caffeine. Beneath his regular clothes he wears the ritual long underwear."'
