Emma Watson didn’t ‘storm off the set’ of ‘This Is The End’: Seth Rogen

LOS ANGELES: Actor-director Seth Rogen has clarified that British star Emma Watson didn’t go away the set of his 2013 film “This Is The End” over a scene she didn’t like.
Rogen’s assertion got here after he seemingly confirmed the hearsay that Watson had stormed off the set of the comedy movie, which he had directed with companion Evan Goldberg.
The sequence featured Danny McBride embracing cannibalism, and integrated a gimp mask-wearing Channing Tatum, enjoying himself within the film, as his prisoner on a leash.
During an interview with British GQ journal, Rogen was requested in regards to the incident and he mentioned, “I imply, I do not look again on that and suppose, ‘How dare she do this?’ You know? I believe generally whenever you learn one thing, in terms of life it does not appear to be what you thought it was.
” After many publications ran the story with Rogen’s comment on the alleged incident, he determined to set the report straight by posting a press release on Twitter.
“I want to correct a story that has emerged from a recent interview I gave. It misrepresents what actually happened. Emma Watson did not ‘storm off the set’ and it’s sh***y that the perception is that she did,” the actor mentioned.
“The scene was not what was initially scripted, it was getting improvised, modified drastically, and was not what she agreed to.
The narrative that she was ultimately uncool or unprofessional is full bulls****,” he added.
Rogen mentioned there was miscommunication between him and Watson that led her to an “uncomfortable position”.
“She and I spoke on the evening; it was total a sh***y scenario and it should have been laborious for her to say one thing and I’m very completely happy and impressed that she did.
“We agreed on her not being in the scene together. I was thrilled for the opportunity to work with her and would be thrilled to get that opportunity again. I am very sorry and disappointed it happened, and I wish I had done more to prevent it,” Rogen mentioned.
