Having visited the island of Gibraltar twice during my time in the U.S. Navy, I can personally attest to the precociousness of the Barbary Macaque monkeys indigenous to the island.
On a recent vacation to Gibraltar, actor Jason Biggs, star of the American Pie films, was attacked by one of the Barbary Macaque’s.
The actor was vacationing with his American Pie co-star Eddie Kaye Thomas when they decided to hike up the famous rock to wander through the nature reserve.
But as the pair hiked one of the Barbary Macaque monkeys attacked Biggs and attempted to steal food from his bag.
A source tells RadarOnline.com, “Jason and Eddie decided to go on the trip to celebrate the ten year anniversary of Pie. They were hiking in the woods when this monkey suddenly leaped on Jason from a tree and tried to bite his face off!
“Jason’s traveling companions managed to fend the beast off and Jason, thankfully wasn’t seriously hurt, just shaken up.”
Thomas’ representative, Eloise Konialian, confirmed the incident, adding, “The monkey tried to attack Jason and steal food out of his bag but Eddie fended him off and saved the day.”
