Imagine, if you want, a world in which Seth Rogen - actor and writer known for all, from "Freaks & Geeks" to "Superbad" and "Flat" - appeared in "Gigley", the film in 2003 that may or may not have fractured stars Ben Affleck and Ennennifer Lopez. Obviously, that kind almost happened, and Rogen claims that his audition is so deeply offensive that if anyone ever found the lane, he would be destroyed forever.

At this point, I would like to expose the idea that Rogen has collected enough cultural goodwill by being a seemingly good friend - do not look beyond his continuous and passionate support for research and care for Alzheimer's disease, provided by the government, as just one example - but he is Probably Right that this video should never watch the light of day. Take a look, the role of which Rogen audited was Brian, a mentally disputed young man, who eventually played by JustinAastin Varta.

"A long time has passed", Rogen told JiMi Kimmel on the late night's show of the same nameSpecifically, saying that he does not have to audition for roles. "And thank God, they were mostly physical strips for VHS and things as they were used when I was logging in to things, because things I was dealing with, in retrospect, if they were there in the world, they would break my career very, very quickly, I believe."

"I audited for this guy with a cognitive disability," Rogen told his Gigley audition. "And I don't think the script was written in what, to today's standards, would be the most sensitive portrait of a boy with a cognitive disability." Well, what exactly happened In Rogen's "Gigley" audition, according to the actor?

As Seth Rogen explained to JiMi Kimmel, he was a little starved by Gigley Director Martin Brest, who is known for his works such as "Beverly Hills Police Officer", "The Smell of Woman" and "Meet Oeo Black". (Given that information, it is important to remember that Rogen was still trying to "do" it in the industry.) "I wanted to leave an impression," Rogen said before explaining exactly why his audition was so poorly executed.

"I think I didn't wear a helmet on the audition itself, but she was in play," Rogen said, calming this discovery with his signature. "And I'm tempted to make the impression of what I did, but I can't even do it. I can't. It's so bad. That's so bad. I dare not show what I did on this audition. Because I went for it. I saw the Oscars."

"Real, if that strip today was out (in) the world, this would be the last interview you've ever seen how to do," Rogen concluded. "Except, like, my apology tour. Please, if you have it, burn it. Please sell me. Ille buy it."

I will also speak true and say that Rogen is So lucky He did not throw himself into "giggles" because that movie sucks. Not only was the flop that landed in the director's prison and ended his career (After mixing in the studio it radically changed whatever the director's original vision of the film, he lost creative control and basically left Hollywood), but "Gigli" is also one of the most notorious fires in the history of the film. Not only did it make $ 7 million on a budget that exceeded $ 70 million, but it was a critical bomb to raise and still boast a pretty depressing 6% of Rotten tomatoes.

I think it's pretty safe to say that Seth Rogen's career would probably be okay even if he There were He appeared in "Gigley", but he was lucky to avoid that Chinese bullet ... And since 2003, he has been doing Just good. In addition to his writing partner and childhood friend Evan Goldberg, Rogen wrote hits like "Superbad" (where he does not play his younger self, Seth, but gives Jonona Hill that role and shows a really clown policeman along with Bill Fooder), "This is the End", "Ananas Express" and the controversial comedy "Interview". He also appeared in some pretty big movies (Including dramatic turnaround in Steven Spielberg's autobiographical film "Fabelmans"), and, from this writing, he now attracts the recognition of his series "Apple TV+" "Studio".

In that series, which Rogen created along with Goldberg, Peter Juik, Alex Gregory and Frida Perez, he is playing Matt Remik, CEO of Continental's fictional studio in Hollywood, which ends in running the entire company. Although he is honestly trying to make films with artistic merit, that goal has taken a background after telling him that he should produce "Kool-Aid help" for pure financial sustainability. Therefore, as the first season of the show continues, Rogen's Matt is trying to find a certain balance between his desire to support artistic integrity and the unfortunate need to make really absurd films about the masses. The point is, Rogen probably really loved that role in Giggie when, but he was able to carve his career by writing and creating his own roles and projects in the years after using that audition ... and I would say that his offensive audition is probably very distorted.

The Studio is now moving to Apple TV+.
