Seth Rogen Interview 50/50

Seth Rogen Interview 50/50

When Seth Rogen found out his best friend Will Reiser had cancer, he was 23 years old. At the time, they joked about the disease and used his situation to get sympathy from women at bars. But the actor has come a long way since then. He's now 29, is engaged to fiancée Lauren Miller and says he's learned to "talk much quieter."

But even though Rogen has matured, he's still nowhere near being ready for fatherhood. "All my friends are having kids and my sister just had a baby last year and it makes me not want to have kids," he tells iVillage exclusively.

But one thing he is ready for is sharing Will's cancer story with the world. After he recovered, Reiser and Rogen teamed up to write and produce the film 50/50 (in theaters Sept. 30), which Rogen also stars in. When iVillage caught up with the actor, he dished about how making the movie affected their friendship, how he wooed his fiancée and why it took him "several days" to recover after partying with the cast of Jersey Shore.

How much of the movie is fiction and how much is based on real life?
There are very few scenes of the movie that are specifically things that happened, you know, exactly. Maybe a handful out of the whole movie. When we thought about making a movie, it wasn't like we needed to show exactly what we went through. It was more like there are no movies that really feel how our experience felt. There are no movies that show how funny it was sometimes, and how absurd it was sometimes, and how awkward it was sometimes. That was really our goal.

The movie was actually really funny despite the somber topic. Did you guys use humor to cope in real life?
Yeah, I think almost aggressively me and his other friends tried to find the humor in the situation. And we are all comedy writers, so that probably led itself to it. We really tried to make light of it, as much as humanly possible.

Were people around you like, "Why are you joking about this?"
Not really. No one is trying to convince you to be more sad about a situation when you're living it. It's funny, cause I think in movies people do have that attitude. People do say, "Oh that's sad, you should treat it sadly." But in real life, you never have that attitude. If someone is sad you want to cheer them up. You don't want to wallow in it.

Was it emotional to see the finished product?
Maybe at times. All I could think was how it must be for Will to watch it. It is weird at times, honestly, because there are a few things in the movie that are literally conversations we had in real life.

Did making the movie bring you and Will closer together?
It probably did, yeah. I think it actually forced us to have a lot of conversations about what happened that we probably wouldn't have had. We never would have had to say, "You acted like this. You did this to me. I thought you should have done this, but instead you did this." We would have never said any of that stuff to each other unless we had to make a movie about characters that were behaving very similar to us. So, yeah, I think it ultimately helped us work through some of the stuff that happened.

In the film, your character uses his friend's cancer to pick up girls. Was that based on reality?
I mean maybe not specifically. I don't think there was ever a night where I was like, "Tonight we're gonna go out to a bar and tell girls you have cancer." That being said, there were nights while he was sick that we went to bars and we talked to girls and it came up that he had cancer. And I don't think it made us look worse. I don't think it hurt our chances.

So you got some sympathy.
I actually met my fiancée one night when me and Will were at a bar when he was sick.

Was he your wingman that night?
Yeah, he actually introduced us.

How did you win her over when you met?
That night was actually the first night that we ever talked about making a movie about him being sick. I can't help but think that made me seem very appealing.

You said recently that at that time, you hadn't had a girlfriend yet, so you hadn't been taught how to behave properly. So, what has your fiancée taught you?
Oh, I don't know, probably a lot. I talk much quieter generally, conversationally. I don't interrupt as much. But I'm much cleaner than she is. I'd like to say that she taught me how to tidy up, but that's been the exact opposite.

How's the wedding planning going?
It's going good.

Can you give me any details?
Nope!

Is Will going to be in your wedding?
He'll be there, yes.

Do you see kids in your future?
Oh man, I don't know. We don't see them anytime soon. All my friends are having kids and my sister just had a baby last year, and it makes me not want to have kids.

So, you're happy just being an uncle for now?
Exactly. It's very nice just playing with the baby and then as soon as it becomes difficult, you just hand it off.

You partied with the Jersey Shore cast at the MTV Video Music Awards last month -- and then Deena told Jimmy Fallon that she was "giving you the turnpike."
I'll take her word for it. I had a lot to drink that night.

Were they teaching you how to party Jersey style?
Yeah, it's like playing basketball with Michael Jordan. It's hard to keep up. I shouldn't have tried; I had to pay for it for several days afterwards.

Are you a fan of the show?
I do watch the show. I mean, yeah. I was on board with reality TV from the beginning. I liked reality TV when I still worked in TV and literally was having my job ruined by reality TV.

If you had to be on a reality show, which one would you choose?
Good question. I like Top Chef. I'd go for that.

Do you think you'd be a good competitor?
No, I would eat the food that other people made. Maybe I could be a judge.

Kanye West Makes Paris Fashion Week Debut

West unveils womenswear collection before star-packed crowd, including Lindsay Lohan, Jared Leto and Ciara.

Kanye West made his Paris Fashion Week debut Saturday night (October 1), launching a womenswear line with a high-profile show that was sexy, swaggering and, of course, incredibly stylish.

Before an audience that included fashion heavyweights like Vogue Editor in Chief Anna Wintour, designer Alexander Wang and photographer Terry Richardson -- not to mention celebs like Lindsay Lohan, Jared Leto and Ciara -- West paraded a host of different looks, from daringly cut dresses and color-block pants to body-hugging tracksuits and high-end hoodies.

West draped his models in flowing fabrics, leather and fur, propped them up on beaded stilettos and even gave each a matching "Yeezi" nameplate chain to wear on the catwalk. And for an artist to whom subtlety is often a foreign concept, West displayed an unerring attention to the tiny details, as evidenced by the collection's artfully beaded ensembles, knitted tops and even fur-covered backpacks -- all of which had the crowd murmuring with approval.

For a more detailed account of all the looks, check out the MTV Style blog, which kept a running diary of West's fashion debut.

Though it was his first-ever showing, West's bow was also one of the most-hyped events of Paris' annual fashion week, with bloggers hyping stories that he had spent 14,000 pounds on fabric and trimmings at London haberdasheries and speculating that his show would feature only the models he mentioned in his song "Christian Dior Denim Flow." The actual location for the show was kept a closely guarded secret, with invitations being mailed the day before the event, a move that only further added to the frenzy.

And given the buildup, it seemed only natural (and, in keeping with Fashion Week tradition) for West to start his show some 45 minutes after the supposed 9:30 p.m. start time. But that didn't seem to bother those lucky enough to gain entry into Paris' Lycee Henri IV (a posh secondary school taken over by West's team for the event), who chatted beneath soft purple lighting while waiting for the first models to walk.

At show's end, West emerged to applause, wearing a simple white T-shirt, black pants and a pair of Jordans. After taking his bow, he posed for photos backstage with his models, and speculation began that his collection (which doesn't yet have a name) might actually be called Yeezi, as the nameplates seemed to hint.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt Calls Lack Of '50/50' Kiss 'Horrible'

"It's a travesty," actor jokes to MTV News about not locking lips with Anna Kendrick in the film.

Over the weekend, audiences laughed (and cried) along with Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen in the heartfelt comedy "50/50," loosely based on writer Will Reiser's real-life battle with cancer. (Spoilers ahead!)

Gordon-Levitt's thoughtful portrayal of 27-year-old cancer patient Adam takes him on a journey from diagnosis to recovery, breaking up with girlfriend Rachael (Bryce Dallas Howard) and sparking a new relationship with therapist-in-training Katherine (Anna Kendrick) along the way. The budding romance is only teased, however, as the two never seal the deal with a kiss. It was a purposeful omission, the film's writer and stars said at the "50/50" premiere last week in New York.

"We very much resisted them kissing," Reiser told MTV News. "The movie is not a love story. It's about a guy's battle with cancer. If it turned into a love story at the end, we would be betraying what the movie is about. That kiss is the start of another movie."

Kendrick, in fact, was relieved she didn't have to smooch Gordon-Levitt, as they'd become good friends after weeks of filming together.

"The studio wanted to see us kiss at the end, actually. We were thinking about just trying it as an option," she explained. "Joe very wisely stood up and said, 'If we give it to them as an option, they will use it.' So we just decided not to do it, because it really just didn't feel right. And I was relieved, because I had known Joe for too long at that point. It's too weird once you think of someone as a friend to be like, 'OK, I guess we make out now?' "

But Kendrick probably shouldn't share that sentiment with Gordon-Levitt, because as he told it, he was pretty bummed he didn't get to kiss his leading lady. "It's a travesty," he said with a big grin. "It's a horrible injustice, and I'm writing a letter."

Check out everything we've got on "50/50."
