Seth Rogen addresses old rumors that Emma Watson stormed off the set of 'This Is The End'
Seth Rogen has finally addressed an old rumor that Emma Watson stormed off the set of his 2013 film "This Is The End."
The actor-director had recently talked about the issue during an interview with GQ, but later posted a message on Twitter clarifying his statements.
The old rumor claimed that Watson stormed off the set after refusing to film a cannibal scene with Rogen, Danny McBride, James Franco, and Jay Baruchel.
Asked what really happened while filming, Rogen told GQ, "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."
Shortly after the interview's release, Rogen took to Twitter to "correct" the story, saying that it "misrepresents what actually happened."

"Emma Watson did not 'storm off the set' and it’s sh*tty that the perception is that she did," he said.
"The scene was not as originally scripted, it was getting improvised, changed drastically and was not what she agreed to," he added.
Rogen said that the narrative that Watson was in any way "uncool or unprofessional" was "complete bullsh*t."
He added that he should have communicated better and because he didn't, Watson was put in an "uncomfortable position."
And apparently, they talked it over and they agreed that she wouldn't be in the scene.
"It must have been hard for her to say something and I’m very happy and impressed that she did,” Rogen said.
“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," he added.
"This Is The End" is an apocalyptic dark comedy that was written, directed, and produced by Rogen and Evan Goldberg. —JCB, GMA News
