Two decades later, fans still love to quote Napoleon Dynamite has Jon Heder.

“The toddler line is actually the one I get shouted the most,” the actor – who played the title character in the cult 2004 film – recently told E! News, “that I will accept”. (ICYMI, it would be: “Napoleon, give me some of your little ones.”)

“They are very aware of this craze,” explained the father of four. “My daughter really enjoys it. She’s 7. She says, ‘Oh, can we watch clips of the movie?'”

His 10-year-old son, on the other hand, “loves the reactions it gets, he understands it for the celebrity aspect,” noted the 46-year-old man. “I don’t know if he’s really interested in the movie. But he loves telling people who I am.”

Heder also has a weakness for comedy. To celebrate the 20th anniversary this month, he’s back in his character’s shoes (and pants) for an Ore-Ida partnership that references a memorable scene from the film…and offers a solution for crushed toddlers .
