Seth Rogen Details James Franco Friendship as “Nuanced”
James Franco Returns to Spotlight for Red Carpet Date With Girlfriend Izabel Pakzad
Seth Rogen has no plans to rekindle his friendship with James Franco.
The Studio actor reflected on the end of his relationship with his longtime collaborator after sexual misconduct allegations were made against Franco in the 2010s.
“I honestly think the nuance of it is too personal for me to get into right now,” Rogen explained to The New York Times in an interview published June 13. “It is a very personal thing. There’s the public-facing side of it, which I’ve spoken about, and I have the same stance publicly that I’ve had, and I think the proof is in the pudding—I have not worked with him in years.”
And while the professional side of their relationship ended, Rogen was hesitant to get into the weeds of the personal side, noting it was “just so nuanced.”
“It involves people that I don’t know if I should be dragging into this,” the 44-year-old said. “I don’t know what I would benefit from getting deeply into it. Nothing has changed since the last time I talked about all this, and I haven’t worked with him in a really long time and I have no plans to.”
