Seth Rogen Once Auditioned to Play a ‘Boy With a Cognitive Disability’ and Says It Went ‘So Bad’ It ‘Would End My Career’ If the Tape Leaked: ‘If You Have It, Burn It’


Seth Rogen auditioned to play a mentally challenged character in "Gigli" and says it went so badly that his career would be over if the tape leaked.

Seth Rogen recently quipped on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” that he might lose his acting career if his early aughts audition for Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez’s “Gigli” was ever to be made public. “The Studio” star and creator was asked by Kimmel if he still has to audition for parts, which prompted Rogen to walk down bad memory lane. “Gigli,” directed by “Beverly Hills Cop” and “Midnight Run” filmmaker Martin Brest, stars Ben Affleck as a low-ranking mobster who is tasked with kidnapping the younger brother of a federal prosecutor.
