Seth Rogen prefers not to speak about his past friendship with James Franco . Four months after Franco, 46, told Variety at the Rome Film Festival that he believed their friendship had run its course, Rogen, 42, shared his take on Franco's comments in a new cover story interview with Esquire .

James — who was hit with sexual misconduct allegations in 2018 — recently said he’s tried to tell Seth “how much he’s meant” to him but that their longtime friendship is “over.”

Seth Rogen sat down with Esquire where he opened up about the headlines surrounding he and his wife Lauren Miller's decision not to have children and his friendship -- or rather end of friendship -- with James Franco.
