Seth Rogen is clarifying his amplification of an old rumor about Emma Watson “storming off the set” of his 2013 apocalyptic dark comedy “This Is the End.”
But that came after the actor-writer-director was quoted talking about the incident in a British GQ story published earlier the same day.

Interviewer Stuart McGurk asked Rogen about the rumor, which held that the “Harry Potter” star stormed off the set after refusing to film a scene in which Danny McBride is a cannibal who attempts to eat Rogen, James Franco and Jay Baruchel, all the while keeping Channing Tatum on a leash.
Rogen explained what happened, sort of, without clarifying anything about Watson’s alleged behavior — or at least without any clarification that made it into print.
“I mean, I don’t look back on that and think, ‘How dare she do that?’ You know?” the actor told the magazine. “I think sometimes when you read something, when it comes to life it doesn’t seem to be what you thought it was. But it was not some terrible ending to our relationship. She came back the next day to say goodbye. She helped promote the film. No hard feelings and I couldn’t be happier with how the film turned out in the end.”
Emma Watson Will Witness 'the End Of The World'
Rogen, who co-wrote and codirected the movie, then backtracked and posted a profanity-peppered statement on social media Monday. In it, he clarified what happened and praised Watson for having the courage to speak up in what appears to have been an uncomfortable situation.
“I want to correct a story that has emerged from a recent interview I gave, ” the “Sausage Party” actor wrote. “It misrepresents what actually happened. Emma Watson did not ‘storm off the set’ and it’s s— that the perception is that she did.”
Rogen explained that the scene had not been scripted as it was shot. In the filmed version, McBride is a crazed cannibal living in an old RV, Tatum scuttles around on all fours wearing not much more than a leather thong and boots and a luchador mask. And Baruchel, Franco and Rogen are on their knees trying to figure out how to escape McBride’s hungry, “Mad Max”-style mob, which is about to make them into dinner with the help of a chainsaw.
Seth Rogen Clarifies “bulls***” Notion Emma Watson Was Unprofessional On ' This Is The End'
“[I]t was getting improvised, changed drastically and was not what [Watson] agreed to, ” Rogen wrote. “The narrative that she was in some way uncool or unprofessional is complete bull—. I for sure should have communicated better, and because I didn’t, she was put in an uncomfortable position.”
“She and I spoke on the night; it was overall a s— situation and it must have been hard for her to say something and I’m very happy and impressed that she did, ” Rogen wrote.
“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.”
Emma Watson Movies: Roles After Her 'harry Potter' Days
Christie D’Zurilla covers breaking entertainment news. A USC graduate, she joined the Los Angeles Times in 2003 and has 30 years of journalism experience in Southern California.— Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg's deranged 2013 apocalypse comedy — rumors have swirled about why Harry Potter star Emma Watson was uncomfortable during filming. However, in a new interview, Rogen opened up about why Watson was bothered by one particular scene.
During a recent feature in British GQ, Rogen addressed Watson's reluctance to shoot a scene where Danny McBride and Channing Tatum, playing fictional versions of themselves, were involved in a pretty horrifying situation involving cannibalism and a human leash. According to rumors, Watson stormed off set after being asked to participate in the scene.

The End Of The World With Rogen And Watson
But it was not some terrible ending to our relationship, the actor continued. She came back the next day to say goodbye. She helped promote the film. No hard feelings and I couldn't be happier with how the film turned out in the end. She was probably right. It was probably funnier the way we ended up doing it. Ultimately, Watson appeared elsewhere in the movie, and wasn't a part of the McBride-Tatum sequence at all.
Interview, Rogen clearly felt that he was still misrepresenting Watson's behavior, and took to Twitter to clarify everything once and for all.
I want to correct a story that has emerged from a recent interview I gave, his post read. It misrepresents what actually happened. Emma Watson did not 'storm off the set' and it's s***ty that the perception is that she did. The scene was not what was originally scripted, it was getting improvised, changed drastically, and was not what she agreed to. The narrative that she was in some way uncool or unprofessional is complete bulls***.
Seth Rogen: Emma Watson Did Not Storm Off 'this Is The End' Set
Rogen continued, making it clear that he actually regrets a lot of his choices when it comes to Watson. I for sure should have communicated better and because I didn't, she was put in an uncomfortable situation, the actor admitted. She and I spoke on the night; it was overall a s***ty situation and it must have been hard for her to say something and I'm very 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, Rogen concluded generously. I am very sorry and disappointed it happened, and I wish I had done more to prevent it.
Ultimately, it's kind of Rogen to clear all of this up, and fans of both actors will just have to wait and see if they collaborate again — especially considering that, despite recent reports, Watson is not retiring from acting.
