Seth Rogen doesn’t seem to care.
The comedian is making it clear that he is not paying attention to recent comments from his former friend and longtime collaborator, James Franco.
The Long Shot actor, 42, previously distanced himself from Franco, 46, after the Pineapple Express star was accused and sued by former students over alleged inappropriate and sexual misconduct.
Since then, their once-close friendship has come to an apparent end, with Franco confirming last year that their relationship was officially “over.”
However, in a new interview with Esquire, Rogen admitted he was unaware of Franco’s remarks.
“Honestly, I absorb so little media that it really wasn’t on my radar,” he stated. According to the publication, that was all Rogen was willing to say on the subject.
Rogen and Franco had a long history of working together, starring in several notable projects, including the NBC cult classic Freaks and Geeks and films such as Pineapple Express, This Is the End, The Disaster Artist, and The Interview.
Speaking about the fallout in an interview with Variety last October, Franco reflected on their friendship, saying, “I haven’t talked to Seth. 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.”
Despite Franco’s remarks, it seems Rogen is uninterested in revisiting the past, keeping his distance from the controversy surrounding his former co-star.
