As Seth Rogen strikes forward along with his film and TV works, he now thinks little or no about his outdated pal James Franco.
For some time there, it appeared like James Franco and Seth Rogen had been going to be the standouts of the Judd Apatow College of Comedy. Tokin’ it up as a pair of freaks on Freaks and Geeks, the boys went on to additionally group on films like Pineapple Specific, This Is the Finish, The Interview, and extra. However when Franco began dealing with accusations of sexual misconduct in 2018, that was just about it for each his profession and his friendship with Rogen.
Addressing his rift and cut up with James Franco — who beforehand mentioned he left his pal within the mud to defend him and that he has additionally tried to make amends — Seth Rogen might solely say, “Honestly, I absorb so little media that it really wasn’t on my radar.”
One factor Seth Rogen gained’t be shying away from is comedy itself. In the identical Esquire interview, Rogen was requested if comedy was tougher to make in the present day due to cancel tradition or sure sensitivities. “The complaint that comedy’s harder than it used to be is not a valid complaint.

So, might one thing like Superbad get made in the present day? Or would there be an outcry over this, that and McLovin? As Rogen sees it, “I’m constantly meeting teenagers who love Superbad and who think it holds up, and none of them are like: How f*cking dare you have said that?”
One other factor to completely respect about Seth Rogen is his dedication to his craft. No, not the bong pottery he posts on Instagram, however the films and exhibits he’s consistently engaged on. With all the pieces from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to a different Sausage Social gathering to Apple TV+ sequence The Studio, the dude is retaining busy, particularly with longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg. Franco, in the meantime, has been just about ousted from Hollywood, along with his most up-to-date releases coming from France.
