HE MAY have stuck his private parts into an apple pie for a role, but even actor Jason Biggs has his limits.

The 35-year-old took to Twitter to have a crack at a “poor taste” gimmick by a Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf café in LA.

What sparked Biggs’ ire, was the shop displayed two tip jars, one marked “Fast and Furious” and the other “Varsity Blues”, two films which starred Paul Walker, who died in a car accident over the weekend.

(Apparently, they were labelled so customers could decide which of Walker’s films they liked better.)

“Umm, am I crazy, or does this seem exploitive (sic) and in poor taste? @CoffeeBeanLA,” Biggs tweeted, along with a photo of the tip jars.

The Coffee Bean franchise responded to Biggs' tweet, apologising for the faux pas.

“@JasonBiggs This is completely inconsistent w/our brand values & the jars have since been removed. Thank you 4 bringing this 2 our attention,” reps for the franchise tweeted.
