Seth Rogen Confirms Emma Watson Walked Off the Set of His Movie: ‘She Was Probably Right’

Following a longstanding report that Emma Watson walked off the set of 2013 comedy This Is the End, Seth Rogen has confirmed the rumor is true. In an interview with British GQ, Rogen said that Watson did, in fact, refuse to shoot a scene in which Danny McBride is a cannibal and holds Channing Tatum by a leash.

But Rogen said he isn't bothered by it.

"I mean, I don't look back on that and think, 'How dare she do that?' You know? I think sometimes when you read something, when it comes to life it doesn't seem to be what you thought it was," he said. "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."

The scene didn't end up in the film, but Rogen added that he's happier with the scene they used instead: "She was probably right. It was probably funnier the way we ended up doing it."

The movie was Rogen's directorial debut with Evan Goldberg, before they went on to direct The Interview (2014).
