Funny man Seth Rogen and actress Katherine Heigl teamed up for the movie Knocked Up back in 2007. The movie was well received by audiences and critics but Heigl pronounced the project sexist.
With the new movie Funny People hitting theaters today, Seth and producer Judd Apatow hit the Howard Stern radio show to do a little PR, and in the process they talked a bit about Katherine’s negative attitude toward the earlier flick.
Heigl told Vanity Fair that it was hard to wrap her arms around a project that painted women as shrews while making the men lovable.
Rogen wasn’t so nice in his response, “I gotta say it’s not like we’re the only people she said some batsh*t crazy things about. That’s kind of her bag now.”
Apatow told Stern’s listeners that, “Heigl was probably doing six hours of interviews and kissing everyone’s a**, and then got tired and slipped a bit.”
