Tony Ganios, star of the sex comedy “Porky’s” as well as numerous other cult classic films, has reportedly died. He was 64.

TMZ broke the news Tuesday after an X account from someone claiming to be Ganios’s longtime fiancé Amanda Serrano-Ganios, shared news of his passing.

“The last words we said to each other were ‘I love you,’” Serrano-Ganios wrote Tuesday. “Love is an understatement. You are everything to me. My heart, my soul and my best friend. #I love you #tonyganios.”

“I love you so much, my love. I’m broken,” she added in another tweet accompanied by a photo of presumably the couple holding hands.

The Post has contacted a rep for Ganios for comment.

Ganios also replied to several other X users who expressed their condolences, including a man named Marc, who claimed he was going to meet Ganios in person for the first time in two weeks.

“Thank you, Marc,” Amanda replied. “It’s just unreal to me right now. It was so fast. He hadn’t felt well and hid it from me for days. When he finally told me, and was taken to the hospital, his spinal cord was severely infected. They did surgery, next morning, his heart stopped. I’m crushed.”

Ganios starred as Perry in “The Wanderers” in 1979.

He also portrayed the fan-favorite Anthony ‘Meat’ Tuperello in the 1980s “Porky’s” sex comedy franchise. Spawning two sequels, the flick was about a group of high school boys looking to lose their virginity in 1950s-era Florida.

Ganios played a killer in 1990’s “Die Hard 2” where his character was stabbed in the eye with an icicle by Bruce Willis’ John McClane character.

Ganios’ other movie credits include “The Wanderers,” “Back Roads,” “Continental Divide,” “Body Rock,” “Rising Sun,” and “The Taking of Beverly Hills.”
