Seth Rogen isn’t going to rehash the past.
After the Neighbors star’s former collaborator and friend James Franco revealed they were no longer on speaking terms in October, Rogen shared his reaction to the headline-making revelation.
As he told Esquire of Franco’s comments, declining to say more, “I absorb so little media that it really wasn’t on my radar.”
Meanwhile, Franco—who became acquainted with Rogen in Judd Apatow’s star-making Freaks and Geeks series in 1999 and went on to collaborate on several hit comedies including Pineapple Express and The Interview—previously didn’t hold back to share where he stood with Rogen.
“I haven’t talked to Seth,” the Spider-Man star told Variety in October. “I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying. I’ve told him how much he’s meant to me.”
And while Rogen won’t personally speak to where he currently stands with Franco, he previously stood by his former friend amid sexual misconduct allegations that circulated in the 2010s, which included several alleged relationships with former acting students. (Franco, for his part, denied any wrongdoing.)
