Note: This article was originally posted in March, but what better way to celebrate the film's 20th anniversary on July 19th than with Elton doing his "Rolling with the Homies" dance?!
This year marks the 20th anniversary of the release of "Clueless" -- and if you're feeling old right about now, you're not alone.
Jeremy Sisto was only 19 when he nabbed his first big role as Elton, the dude who made an unwanted move on Alicia Silverstone's Cher and couldn't find his Cranberries CD anywhere. Now 40, he can't believe some of the smallest moments from the film are so memorable for fans ... especially one now-classic bit between him and the late Brittany Murphy.
"I don't even remember doing it," he told toofab's Brian Particelli about the "Rollin' with the Homies" scene while promoting his new film "Hangman" at SXSW. "I think it was that day and they were like 'We decided to use this song.' It was a last minute decision for the song and a last minute decision to do the thing [does Elton's hand motion]. It's really fast, that moment was really brief. For a long time, I was too self conscious to do it, but now when somebody says it, [I go] 'Yeah, whatever you want."
And yes, he did it for us again in the video above.
"The 'Clueless' thing really makes me feel old because it was right at the beginning [of my career], but I was an adult. That makes me feel like I've been around forever," he adds. Watch the interview above to see if he has any plans to celebrate the anniversary this July.
These days, Sisto is at a creepy point in his career, at least when it comes to his roles.
The actor was at SXSW to screen his new found-footage film, "Hangman," about a family who is terrorized after a stranger breaks into their house and starts filming their every move without their knowledge.
"I'm uncertain with horror fans, when is disturbing just disturbing and when is it fun disturbing? At the end of this movie, I'm just shocked," he says of the freaky flick.
"But what's cool about the horror genre, especially for such a dark medium, the fans are really warm," he adds. "I've done a lot of bad movies, but my bad horror movies are the ones that people still find the good stuff in."
