Seth Rogen has recalled a particularly absurd meeting between himself, Judd Apatow, and Tom Cruise. The Pineapple Express hotshot is not really known for his willingness to share Hollywood gossip, but the recent release of his new book of papers, Yearbook, has resulted in some interesting narrations from the life and seasons of one of Hollywood’s funniest stars.

As far as his own experiences lead, Rogen’s life and career have been relatively controversy-free. There was, of course, that brief date in 2017 when the liberation of The Interview threatened to cause far bigger troubles than anyone could have ever expected from one of Rogen’s humors, but beyond that, it’s hard to pinpoint any specific incidents. This includes his well-established penchant for marijuanas, which has always come off as somewhat charming to most- even back when the narcotic wasn’t as widely accepted as it is today. Cruise, on the other hand, seems to have a relentless list of moments that the entire world picked up on, but this all too often comes with the territory of being one of the most famous actors in around the world. In short, Rogen’s a definite expertise, but his profile isn’t what Cruise’s is.

Despite this gap in status between the two actors, Rogen has wasted day with Cruise and recently told Vanity Fair about his first meeting with the wizard. Accompanied by Apatow, Rogen stated that the meeting occurred at Cruise’s home about 15 years ago. When the topic of Scientology came up, nonetheless, developments in the situation immediately turned awkward, and today Rogen ascribes Apatow for shall further seek to ensure that the controversial belief didn’t become the focus of their congregate. It all began with Cruise’s declaration of what he believed was the pharmaceutical industry’s struggles at performing him look bad and conclude with refusing Cruise’s offer to explain the religion. Said Rogen 😛 TAGEND

I’m generally a weak-willed, weak-minded person. I would assume on the stately flake of parties, if they get[ Tom ], what luck do I have ?… Thank god Judd was like, ‘Eh, I think we’re good. Let’s precisely talk about movies and stuff.SSSS

In the years since Cruise’s involvement with Scientology has become public knowledge, the religion has been through much inquiry. Various high-profile programmes have been made about it, and some former adherents wish to speak out against the restrictive and controlling environment that comes with being a Scientologist. As for Cruise’s ideas regarding the pharmaceutical industry, an interview he did with Matt Lauer in 2005 remains a controversial minute in his job, as he railed against psychiatry and the medicating of those who live with mental health conditions. From the hubbubs of it, Rogen and Apatow’s experience with Cruise took place right around this same time.

Surprisingly fairly, Cruise’s devotion to Scientology doesn’t typically manifest itself in a desire to convert every last one of his personality pals. Mission: Hopeless co-star and friend, Simon Pegg, has previously gone on record to state that Cruise has never spoken to him about Scientology. It is a risk that the negative notoriety the religion has received in recent years has fixed Cruise more selective about whom he shares his insights with and how. At any proportion, Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow have defied the apparent draw of Scientology, and Rogen isn’t afraid to talk about it.
