Tara Reid: 'Ridiculous' Sharknado trilogy shouldn't work, but it does

Tara Reid says she doesn't understand the success of the 'Sharknado' franchise.

Tara Reid has said she doesn't understand the success of the 'Sharknado' franchise.

The 39-year-old actress - who previously starred in 'American Pie' and 'The Big Lebowski' - is surprised by the popularity of the movies, saying they are all "ridiculous".

She told Fox News: "I didn't think there would be a second, and now we're up to a trilogy.

"All the time, I'm thinking: 'How am I going to pull this off? How am I going to say this dialogue? You've got to be kidding me.'

"It's ridiculous, and I have to say it seriously. But somehow it works."

Meanwhile, Tara recently hinted that a new 'American Pie' film is in the works.

The blonde actress - who appeared in the original 'American Pie' in 1999, as well as two sequels, 'American Pie 2' and 'American Reunion' - suggested another film could be added to the series, with the movie set in Las Vegas.

She said: "There's actually talks about [a fifth movie], they may be doing it in Las Vegas."

Previously, it was believed that 'American Reunion', which hit cinema screens in 2012 following a nine-year hiatus, would be the final film in the series.
