After collaborating on various projects and building a long-term friendship, Seth Rogen and James Franco had their partnership ended by the comedian’s decision after a series of accusations against the actor came to light.
Previously, the two actors worked together in several popular films over nearly two decades, starting with the series “Freaks and Geeks” in 1999 until their last project together in 2019.
The relationship between the actors changed after Franco was accused by several women of inappropriate behavior in 2018. Seth Rogen declared that he no longer intends to collaborate with James Franco, citing the accusations as the main reason for his decision.
Rogen emphasized his repudiation of abuse and harassment, stating that he does not want to cover up such actions or put other people in compromising situations.
On the other hand, Franco recently said in an interview that he accepted Rogen’s position regarding the accusations and expressed his respect for his former collaborator, highlighting a close and friendly working relationship over the years.
“I love Seth Rogen. I worked with him for 20 years. We didn’t have a fight in 20 years. He was my closest work friend, collaborator. We just understood each other. What he said is true. You know, we are not working together now and have no plans to work together. Of course, it was painful, in context, but I understand. He had to answer for me because I was silent.”
