Seth Rogen isn’t jumping on the celebrity sports team trend.
The Canadian actor recently sat down with ET Canada’s Keshia Chanté, alongside his “Platonic” co-star Rose Byrne, and revealed he isn’t interested in buying a sports team.

“A lot of Canadians are interested in buying sports teams right now, especially hockey,” Chanté noted, and Rogen immediately caught on.
“I am not interested in buying a sports team,” he said. “I wouldn’t know what to do with it.”
When Byrne asked who else was trying to buy a team, Rogen told her, “Ryan Reynolds, I think, is trying to buy a sports team. Snoop Dogg is throwing his hat in the ring.”
“The Weeknd for the Ottawa Senators,” Chanté added, to which the surprised actor said, “Really? Oh, wow.”

Reynolds, Snoop and The Weeknd have each joined in on separate bids to purchase the Ottawa Senators NHL team, which is reportedly commanding offers of over $1 billion.
It was reported last week, though, that Reynolds and his partners, The Remington Group, have pulled out of the bidding war.
Rogen went on to elaborate on why he wouldn’t be interested in getting into the sports business.
“One of the reasons I became a comedy writer at 13 is because I did not like sports or have a lot of friends,” he laughed. “You don’t start writing a movie when you’re 13 when you’re the captain of the hockey team, I’ll tell you that. You’re busy doing other fun stuff.“

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back with Seth Rogen’s help.
Ever since 1990, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” have had a footprint on the big screen. While a new live-action film is years away, producer/co-writer Seth Rogen (“The Boys“) is behind a brand new take on the ‘Ninja Turtles’ franchise with the upcoming animated movie, “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem.” As the quirky new animated pic releases this summer, Paramount has released a brand new trailer.
Alison Herman TV Critic The Apple TV+ comedy “Platonic” is a reunion of the 2014 movie “Neighbors” (and its 2016 sequel “Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising”), again pairing stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne with the writer and director Nicholas Stoller. But “Platonic” also models itself after another, more enduring classic: Nora Ephron’s “When Harry Met Sally,” a film explicitly referenced in the pilot of “Platonic” and the greatest work of art drawn from the essentially trite question of whether (straight) men and women can be friends. In “Neighbors,” Rogen and Byrne played spouses. In “Platonic,” they’re long-estranged besties who rekindle their codependent bond. As premises go, it’s a thin one. Ephron’s opus is now 34 years old, and even “When Harry Met Sally” was less seriously engaged with the idea of friendship between the sexes than using the setup as a showcase for Ephron’s wit, Meg Ryan’s charm and Ryan’s chemistry with Billy Crystal. “Men and women don’t really hang out with each other at our age,” says Sylvia (Byrne), a former lawyer who’s now a stay-at-home mother of three. Her argument is half-hearted, unconvincing and immediately dismissed by her husband Charlie (Luke Macfarlane), who encourages Sylvia to get in touch with craft brewer Will (Rogen) in the wake of his divorce.
Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne are used to playing a married couple on screen, but how did they feel about starring as friends in their latest TV series “Platonic”?

It looks like it’s bad luck for Aziz Ansari‘s “Good Fortune.” THR reports that the current WGA writers’ strike has forced Lionsgate and Ansari to indefinitely suspend filming on the project. Lionsgate made the decision last night after picketers interrupted filming in LA’s Koreatown two days in a row earlier this week, on May 16 and 17.

Production on Aziz Ansari’s feature helming debut Good Fortune has been suspended amid the writers strike, Deadline has confirmed. WGA pickets forced a shutdown of the Keanu Reeves-Seth Rogen pic Thursday night.

We’re told that the production only shuttered for one day.
Apple TV+’s latest half-hour comedy “Platonic” is a joyous reunion of “Neighbors” stars Rose Byrne, Seth Rogen, and that film’s director Nicholas Stoller, in another project that features two people questioning where they’ve ended up in ordinary lives. It works mainly through the power of its casting because Byrne and Rogen have an obvious comedic chemistry, translating what feels like real friendship into something that can be seen on-screen.

Apple TV+ has a new comedy series premiering later this month and the cast hit the red carpet this week at the L.A. premiere!
BreAnna Bell The cast of Apple TV+’s “Platonic” was all smiles and laughs as they celebrated the premiere of their rom-com, but the Wednesday night carpet was clouded by Hollywood’s ongoing writers strike. Some of the show’s stars including longtime friends Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Carla Gallo revealed their thoughts on the face off between the Writers Guild of America and the Alliance of Motion Pictures and Television Producers while walking the green carpet outside of Regal LA Live theater in downtown Los Angeles. “I’m personally distressed by not having any sense of how successful these shows and movies we make for streaming services are,” said Rogen. “The secretiveness only makes me think that they’re making way more money off of all of us than they want to share with anybody. These executives are making insane salaries that you would only make if you are running an incredibly profitable business.”
Rose Byrne feels the love.
