Seth Rogen has addressed James Francoâs revelation that his friendship with his former co-star is âoverâ.
The pair first met while starring in 1999 teen series Freaks and Geeks and went on to work together on a string of hit movies, including Pineapple Express (2008), The Interview (2014) andThe Disaster Artist (2017).
When Franco was accused of sexual misconduct in January 2018, Rogen publicly distanced himself from the actor after originally supporting him â something Franco described as âhurtfulâ.
This prompted Franco, in a Variety interview published in October 2024, to reveal that the pair are no longer in touch, stating: âI havenât talked to Seth. I love Seth. We had 20 great years together, but I guess itâs over. And not for lack of trying. Iâve told him how much heâs meant to me.â
Rogen, who will next appear in Apple TV+ series The Studio, has now been asked about this comment and, despite ânot being happyâ with the question, he replied: âHonestly, I absorb so little media that it really wasnât on my radar.â
In an interview with The Times in 2021, Rogen said of the multiple allegations against Franco: âWhat I can say is that I despise abuse and harassment and I would never cover or conceal the actions of someone doing it, or knowingly put someone in a situation where they were around someone like that.
âThe truth is that I have not and I do not plan to [work with Franco] right now.â
In 2018, five women â including four of Francoâs former pupils â came forward with allegations of sexually inappropriate behavior by the 46-year-old. At the time, Franco said the allegations were ânot accurateâ but that he did not want to âshut downâ people who âdid not have a voice.â
Two of his accusers, Sarah Tither-Kaplan and Toni Gaal â both of whom were taught by Franco at the Playhouse West Studio 4 school he co-founded in 2014 â went on to seek legal action in 2019.
In June 2021, it was reported that Franco had agreed to pay $2.23m (£1.67m) to settle the suit, which alleged that he and his business partners had âengaged in widespread inappropriate and sexually charged behavior towards female students by sexualizing their power as a teacher and an employer by dangling the opportunity for roles in their projects.â

Elsewhere in the Variety interview, Franco said he is âso grateful to be workingâ after starring in Italian director Claudio Giovannesiâs Hey Joe.
âI did go through a lawsuit, and during that lawsuit I wasnât working,â he continued. âBut then Covid hit so everybody wasnât working. So, I donât know, it was all⦠I mean, we were all kind of in it. So it was sort of like, âI donât know what I am.ââ
âBut I did certainly use the time to, I hope, good purpose. And whatever had been going on with me before, I had to change my whole way of life. So I am proud of the kind of work I did during that time. And yeah, I wasnât working in movies, but I certainly was doing a lot of work to change who I was.â
He added: âAs painful as it was â yes, of course rejection is painful, being told youâre bad is painful. But ultimately thatâs kind of what I needed to just stop going the way I was going.â
In 2021, Franco said he had been âcompletely blind to power dynamicsâ as he admitted to having sex with his acting students.
