Seth Rogen says his sex scene with Charlize Theron in the new movie Long Shot was a bit awkward to shoot.
The actor stopped by Jimmy Kimmel Live to talk about the odd-couple comedy, where Kimmel asked about the film’s “brief lovemaking scene.” Rogen admitted that while it was amazing to work with the “objectively lovable” Theron, he didn’t really know how to handle the situation. Rogen said when they were filming, he suggested his character might be on the bottom, but Theron rejected the idea.
“You let Charlize take control in such situations,” Rogen told Kimmel, laughing.
Even though Theron and Rogen become romantically involved in the movie Long Shot, it seems that Theron’s real love life might be less lucky. “I’m shockingly available,” Theron revealed at CinemaCon, ET Canada reports. Rogen is clearly willing to be her wingman, sharing with the crowd, “She’s out there!” Theron’s most recent public relationship was with Sean Penn from 2012 to 2015. She was linked to Brad Pitt earlier this year, but there was nothing between them, according to People.
This episode of Kimmel’s show was taped in Las Vegas, which took Rogen down memory lane. He shared a few experiences he’s had in Vegas, including taking mushrooms and going to all of Cirque du Soleil’s Vegas Strip shows during the production of Knocked Up.
Apparently, when they talked to the owner of Cirque du Soleil about including a scene where they watch the show high on mushrooms, the owner joked, “How do you think we come up with this stuff?”
But Rogen's list of misadventures is a bit longer than that. He has, in the past, attempted to free Vegas magicians Siegfried & Roy’s famous white tigers, which was difficult to pull off. What was a bit easier was stealing a gondola at the Venetian casino and floating along the man-made canals, though Rogen doesn’t encourage that sort of behavior.
Long Shot follows Seth Rogen's Fred Flarsky as he starts working with his former babysitter, Charlotte Field (Theron), who just happens to be running for president. They eventually become romantically involved despite the fact that she's totally out of his league. Long Shot hits theaters May 3. In the meantime, check out the trailer for the movie below.
