Speaking up. Seth Rogen addressed rumors about Emma Watson‘s behavior on This Is the End after reflecting on the 2013 comedy in a recent interview with British GQ.

Seth Rogen on Monday night issued a statement in which he said recent comments he made during an interview about Emma Watson and their time working on This Is The End had spiraled out of control.

The film This Is The End apparently was not the omega for the friendship of Emma Watson and Seth Rogen.

Seth Rogen is opening up about the rumors that Emma Watson bolted off of the set during a scene from the 2013 spoof comedy film, "This Is the End."
