We wanted people you haven\u2019t seen us with before. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/martin-scorsese\/\" class=\"exposure-link \" data-linktrack=\"LinkTracker,articleExposure,martin-scorsese\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Martin Scorsese<\/a>, we just sent it to his manager. I\u2019d met Zoe Kravitz once or twice. I met a lot of these people in passing. I\u2019m sure you have at a party.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When asked if he was &#8220;intimidated&#8221; to direct people like Scorsese, Rogen replied: &#8220;It was the worst thing in the whole world. We were shooting the show in such a specific way that I was so nervous it would be creatively rejected. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\nIn the show, his character Matt Remick is often desperate for directors and actors to like him and worries about making them angry &#8211; and Rogen admits he&#8217;s a lot like Matt in many ways.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe added: &#8220;The character is me in many, many ways. And the crux of the character is that he doesn\u2019t want to let down his idols. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;And that\u2019s one of the biggest things that I\u2019m navigating: Whenever I get anyone to come do a thing we\u2019re doing, I\u2019m so aware of how upset I\u2019ll be if they think it\u2019s bad. &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>\nSegel went on to add of Scorsese: &#8220;I did meet Martin Scorsese once. I met him at the Golden Globes, and we peed next to each other at the urinals. But I had the kids\u2019 one and he had the tall one. So everything about it was just way off. That\u2019s a great memory.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nRogen the added: &#8220;He\u2019s a little guy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nRogen previously admitted he&#8217;s had plenty of pushback from industry pals after he used their real life experiences as inspiration for The Studio.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe told Vanity Fair magazine: &#8220;I think more [often] people have not wanted to accept that we have based things off of them, rather than claiming that we have based things off of them. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;If anything, people are like: &#8216;That\u2019s not me though.&#8217; But I think in general they really see that it comes from a place of love.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/seth-rogen-calls-directing-martin-scorsese-worst-thing-world-1420018.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>6 June 2025 Seth Rogen has admitted directing Martin Scorsese in The Studio was the &#8220;worst thing in the world&#8221;.
