Jack Black is looking back on his experience on the set of School of Rock.
The 54-year-old actor starred in the 2003 hit with a much younger cast. In it, he plays a substitute teacher who introduces music to the classroom.
In a 20-year retrospective, Jack explained why he was nervous about filming the project. One of his castmates also recalled a time that he apologized to all of the parents and their children on set.

“In retrospect, it seems ridiculous, because I’m such an immature idiot that it was a perfect match to be with a bunch of kids,” Jack told Rolling Stone. “We had a blast — horsing around and making jokes and making fart noises in between takes.”
Co-star Jordan-Claire Green chimed in to recall an experience with Jack.

Jack Black admitted in Rolling Stone’s new oral history of “School of Rock” that he was nervous to act opposite a bunch of children in Richard Linklater’s hit comedy. The film, written by “The White Lotus” creator Mike White, cast Black as Dewey Finn, a down-on-his-luck guitarist who puts together a makeshift band of kid musicians while substitute teaching at a prep school.
“In retrospect, it seems ridiculous [to be nervous], because I’m such an immature idiot that it was a perfect match to be with a bunch of kids,” Black said. “We had a blast — horsing around and making jokes and making fart noises in between takes.”
Cast member Jordan-Claire Green, who played “groupie” Michelle, was just a kid on the set and remembered Black accidentally cursing around his much younger co-stars.
