In an interview with The Times in May this year, Rogen had publicly distanced himself from Franco and said he had no plans to work with his The Interviewco-star at the time.
Rogen had said: “What I can say is that I despise abuse and harassment and I would never cover or conceal the actions of someone doing it, or knowingly put someone in a situation where they were around someone like that.”

“The truth is that I have not and I do not plan to [work with Franco] right now,” Rogen continued, adding the allegations against Franco had affected their relationship.
