Heder Rejected Chance To Become Hollywood Heartthrob

Actor Jon Heder gave up the chance to become a Hollywood playboy after the 2004 independent film Napoleon Dynamite turned him into an unlikely heart-throb - because he's a devout Mormon.
The 29-year-old star was determined to be a good husband to his wife of five years, childhood sweetheart KIRSTEN, and so Tinseltown's temptations were not for him.
Heder, who is now a father-to-be, says, "You don't want to hook up with all those greasy girls.
"And they don't want you. They want Napoleon. And I wasn't about to go back to that perm."
