Seth Rogen on his friendship with James Franco post misconduct claims

  • Seth Rogen has confirmed he is no longer friends with James Franco and has no plans to work with him again, stating he hasn't spoken to him in a "long time".
  • The pair, who met on "Freaks and Geeks" in 1999, collaborated on numerous hit films including "Pineapple Express" and "The Interview".
  • Rogen publicly distanced himself from Franco after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced in 2018, a move Franco later described as "hurtful".
  • In 2021, Franco agreed to pay $2.23m (£1.67m) to settle a lawsuit brought by two former students alleging inappropriate and sexually charged behaviour.
  • Franco later admitted to sleeping with students, acknowledging it was wrong, and apologised to Rogen for being forced to comment on the situation.
