Seth Rogen, known for his comedic genius and unique persona, has surprisingly made a significant mark in Hollywood. He first gained fame with “Freaks and Geeks” and continued to shine in hits like “The 40-Year Old Virgin” and “Superbad.” His talent extends beyond comedy, evidenced by his dramatic roles in films such as “50/50” and “The Fabelmans.” Despite his popularity, Rogen has also managed to cultivate a number of enemies over the years, frequently voicing his opinions, including criticisms of the Oscars and various celebrities.
Despite being a major figure in Hollywood, Rogen has had his fair share of controversies with other celebrities, who have expressed disdain toward him for various reasons.
Katherine Heigl’s Critique of Knocked Up
Katherine Heigl, known for her role in “Grey’s Anatomy,” wasn’t pleased with her work alongside Rogen in “Knocked Up.” Following the film’s success, she openly criticized it in an interview, calling out its representation of women. Rogen responded to her remarks, highlighting her history of controversial comments. Heigl later expressed to Stern her belief that their feud might have harmed her career. However, both stars seem to have moved on from their past conflict.
Despite their disagreements, it appears that the tension has eased over time.
Emma Watson’s On-Set Discomfort
In the film “This Is The End,” Emma Watson’s experience with Seth Rogen was less than smooth. She felt uncomfortable during a particular scene and walked off set as a result. Rogen later addressed the incident, acknowledging Watson’s reaction and expressing regret over the situation. He apologized publicly, noting the need for better communication. Despite the rocky moment, he appreciates the chance to work with her and hopes for a future collaboration.
While Watson’s team has no comment, Rogen seems genuine in wanting to make amends.

Megan Fox said no to Seth Rogen
During a 2007 appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” Seth Rogen made an awkward attempt to kiss Megan Fox, who was nervously making her talk show debut. Rogen explained to Kimmel that he felt it was a customary gesture for male guests to kiss their female counterparts on the cheek. Excited about the chance, he thought it was the perfect moment—until Fox physically stopped him, leading to a cringe-worthy rejection on TV. Despite this mishap, they later worked together in the film “Zeroville,” although Fox didn’t consider it one of her best roles.
Nicolas Cage had a different vision for his role
In his memoir, “Yearbook,” Seth Rogen recounted how Nicolas Cage auditioned for the villain in “The Green Hornet.” Cage arrived with a character concept as a “white Bahamian man,” which surprised Rogen and his writing partner. During his audition, Cage even delivered an impromptu monologue in a Jamaican accent, which didn’t align with Rogen’s vision for the character. The encounter ended awkwardly after Rogen had to express that Cage’s interpretation wasn’t what they were looking for, leading to Cage walking out during dinner after Rogen’s feedback.
Seth Rogen’s beef with Justin Bieber
Seth Rogen expressed his disdain for Justin Bieber during his 2014 appearance on “The Howard Stern Show,” declaring, “Justin Bieber is a piece of s**t.” Rogen’s negative opinion of Bieber began after a backstage encounter where he felt Bieber acted disrespectfully during a German talk show meeting. While Rogen’s comments were harsh, Bieber later tweeted an apology of sorts, expressing his shyness during their first meeting but also admiration for Rogen’s films. Eventually, Rogen softened his stance, apologizing for his remarks on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” which led to a surprising reconciliation when Bieber showed up to hug him, highlighting how kindness can sometimes mend fences.
