LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Contrary
to an online report, Jason Biggs has not been attacked by a Gibraltar
ape while on vacation on the island, his rep told
Access Hollywood.
“Jason’s in LA, had a meeting yesterday with his agents,†the rep told Access. “Not everything on the Internet is true.â€
Earlier on Thursday, the UK’s Telegraph
reported that the star had gone sightseeing in Gibraltar, only to find
himself face-to-face with a Barbary macaque that “tried to bite his
face off.†There are reportedly some 200 “Barbary apes†in Gibraltar –
a species native to North Africa and brought to the British territory
by soldiers in the 18th century.
