Rogen: 'I snubbed blockbuster movie'

Seth Rogen has claimed that he spurned the chance to appear in a Roland Emmerich-directed blockbuster.

The comedian said that he was not interested in starring in "popcorn movies" or being a Hollywood sex symbol.

"Just the other day, I was offered a big part in the new action film by the director of The Day After Tomorrow [Roland Emmerich]," he told FHM.

"But I don't want to become the kind of superstar who parties all the time, does coke, gets drunk in a nightclub then throws up in the back of a limo.

"And the idea of me being seen as a sex symbol makes me feel sick. But whatever floats your boat."

He added: "For me, may main goal is simple as it's always been: to write the kind of comedy that me and my friends would instantly thrown down money to see. That will always be the driving force behind what I do."
