McLovin From Superbad Is Finally 40 Years Old
The infamous alter ego of Christopher Mintz-Plasse in Seth Rogen s Superbad turns 40 today.
Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg s Superbad helped cement Rogen as a contemporary comedy icon and catapult the careers of stars Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Emma Stone. Its most famous moment is easily the creation of the false identity of the McLovin character. Today, Rogen acknowledged the occasion by wishing McLovin a happy birthday.

Superbad came out in 2007 and was a box office hit, spawning loads of McLovin merchandise from t-shirts, to the actual replica fake IDs that look just like the one in the movie. Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg started the script when they were in high school, with them even naming the main characters after themselves.
