Former ‘American Idol’ Finalist Kevin Covais Strips Down For ‘College’

It may or may not be your idea of great cinema, but when deciding whether or not to see “College” this weekend, the new comedy starring Drake Bell, Andrew Caldwell, and Kevin Covais, well, there’s one thing you really should know, Covais laughed.

“I strip down to my underwear in the movie,” he said, tongue planted firmly in check. “Seriously, they should put that on the poster. See me stripped down to my tightie whities – how can people not go?”

(Note: Covais’s nickname on “American Idol” was Chicken Little. We’ve taken this paragraph off to allow you to make your own obvious pun.)

Stripping down is all part of the hijinks Covais and his crew of merry miscreants get to take part in thanks to the film – one part “Animal House,” one part “American Pie” – about a group of three high school seniors visiting a college as prospective students who get roped into fraternity initiation.

“It really pushes some boundaries,” Covais said. “We do body shots off of a guy, I think people are going to think how’d they get through that one – the infamous bearcat. There’s a nice pig farm scene, we get to mess around with some pigs in the mud. This movie is in a league of its own.”

How crazy are some of the adventures Covais gets into in the film? So crazy they’re just about the most insane things he’s ever done, the 19-year-old confessed.

“I gotta tell you I have very little experience with the whole college party thing. I do consider myself to be a pretty social guy, but I’ve not done the crazy wild college experience. Not yet,” he told MTV. “My movie experience was my craziest time and it wasn’t even real. I do intend to live it up one day.”

“College” opens today.
