When James Franco became one of the subjects of the #MeToo movement, his longtime friend Seth Rogen cut ties with him. And not just in public.
In a new interview, Franco was asked if they’re still in touch. He said, quote, “No. I haven’t talked to Seth. I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying. I’ve told him how much he’s meant to me.”
Other than losing that friendship, falling from grace wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. James said, quote, “Being told you’re bad is painful. But ultimately, that’s kind of what I needed to just stop going the way I was going.”
He added, quote, “I’ve honestly moved past it. It was dealt with, and I got to change. So that’s it, it’s over. I mean, I’ve worked in the U.S. too. So I’m just trying to move on.”
