There\u2019s the public-facing side of it, which I\u2019ve spoken about, and I have the same stance publicly that I\u2019ve had, and I think the proof is in the pudding \u2014 I have not worked with him in years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seth stressed that the \u201cpersonal side\u201d of their relationship involves people he doesn\u2019t know he should be &#8220;dragging into this,\u201d and it is a subject he is reluctant to keep revisiting.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I don\u2019t know what I would benefit from getting deeply into it. Nothing has changed since the last time I talked about all this, and I haven\u2019t worked with him in a really long time and I have no plans to.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I haven\u2019t talked to him in a long time, no.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe 44-year-old actor reflected on what he thinks makes a good friendship.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I think the same thing as any other dynamic: a desire to be good to one another \u2014 which again, sounds intuitive, but when I look at people who have bad relationships, the thing I notice is that they seem to be looking for every reason to not be nice to each other.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I come from a world that wasn\u2019t a macho sports-oriented environment. Everyone\u2019s parents were in therapy. <\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I\u2019m from the Pacific Northwest. We were ahead of the curve on a lot of that stuff in the \u201980s and \u201990s. I come from a group of friends who were very communicative and open and not afraid of sharing what they were feeling with one another.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nJames previously confessed that he thinks his friendship with Seth is &#8220;over&#8221; and suggested he had made unsuccessful attempts to reconnect.<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Hollywood star &#8211; who reached a $2 million sexual misconduct settlement in 2021 &#8211; told Variety: &#8220;I haven\u2019t talked to Seth. I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it\u2019s over. And not for lack of trying. I\u2019ve told him how much he\u2019s meant to me.&#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-clarifies-things-stand-james-franco-1445955.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 June 2026 Seth Rogen has &#8220;no plans&#8221; to reconnect with James Franco.
