Summary
- Rogen took part in a Billy on the Street episode where he pretended to be dead
- Rogen says every celebrity should do this to see how little the average person cares
- Rogen gushes about working with Keanu Reeves and Steven Spielberg
In a recent interview, comedian Seth Rogen discussed the eye-opening experience of pretending to be dead for a 2016 episode of the comedy series Billy on the Street. Rogen and host Billy Eichner went around New York City telling random people that Rogen had died, and Rogen was surprised by the lack of reaction from the average person.
Rogen believes this is a "humbling but necessary experience" that all celebrities should go through, as it helps them realize that "when I die a lot of people won't give a s---, slash, most people will think [I died] because I did something stupid." He found the experiment to be a valuable lesson in how little the general public cares about the death of a famous person.
Shifting gears, Rogen also gushed about his recent collaborations with two of his dream partners - Keanu Reeves and Steven Spielberg. Rogen had the opportunity to work with Reeves on the film Good Fortune, directed by Aziz Ansari, and he described it as a "dream" to be "in bed with Keanu Reeves." However, Rogen says that Spielberg, who directed Rogen's series The Studio, will always be the person he is most amazed to have worked with, even receiving a congratulatory text from the legendary filmmaker.
