When Seth Rogen rejected Paul Ryan s selfie request
Los Angeles June 24 (IANS) Actor Seth Rogen like most of Hollywood made his displeasure with the country s current administration and its activities clear when he denied a photo opportunity to Republican congressional leader Paul Ryan.
Rogen recounted the incident on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" reports variety.com.
He narrated how when as a long time proponent and advocate for Alzheimer s research he had been asked to speak about brain health at Mitt Romney s annual summit he was approached by two "very nice" "very white" young men who asked for a photo.
"Then they said ‘Our dad wants to meet you and I turned around and Paul Ryan was walking towards me " Rogen said.
"He came over and grabbed my hand and I m just shaking his hand I don t know what to do and he said ‘Can I have a picture with you? "
With Ryan s children still present Rogen said: "No way man!"
He then also admonished Ryan for US President Donald Trump s administration s actions.
"I couldn t stop " Rogen said.
"I said ‘Furthermore I hate what you re doing to the country at this moment and I count the days till you no longer have one iota of the power that you currently have. And I look over and his kids are still standing right there."
Rogen feels "very conflicted" about the situation.
"It s not their fault " he said "but at the same time they should probably learn that if they like a movie or song the person that made that probably doesn t like their dad that much."
