Steven Spielberg: 'I've never been stoned,' but I still love Seth Rogen comedies

Steven Spielberg won't be riding the "Pineapple Express" with Seth Rogen anytime soon.

The legendary Oscar-winning director weighed in on Rogen's so-called stoner comedies on the red carpet at the Palm Springs International Film Festival awards gala.

"Well, having never been stoned, I don't see them as stoner movies," Spielberg told Variety, apparently referencing "Superbad" later. "I see them as movies about a cop giving solid, sound advice to an impressionable person."

Rogen joked that fans "one day" will get Spielberg's commentary track for the 2007 film "Superbad," which he co-wrote with costar Evan Goldberg. Rogen also played a mall cop in the comedy "Observe and Report" before starring in Spielberg's semi-autobiographical epic "The Fabelmans."

In 2018, Rogen revealed during "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" (via ) that he blew marijuana smoke in Spielberg's face despite not being a "big fan" of weed.

"I kept smoking it all over Steven Spielberg's face when I saw, like, the expression on his face where he was like, 'I never work with that motherfucker, ever'", said Rogen.

Perhaps Spielberg got revenge on Rogen after all: During "The Fabelmans," the "Pam & Tommy" actor noted that Spielberg insisted he shave his head to get the looking even balder.

"I want you to cut your hair so it looks like you're going a lot balder than you are," Rogen recalled, telling him Spielberg. "I was like, 'OK, this is a big thing for me, but how do you say no to Steven Spielberg?' So obviously I'm coming back and doing it, and for me, that's very drastic."

Rogen added, "I'm like, 'Oh my God, everybody's gonna talk about this.' people I knew and seeing them. And nobody said anything and it made me realize: to them, I'm bald! I was already bald! It wasn't a change."

The comedian summed up, "I work with a lot of actors who now in their career have more hair than when they started. It's a stressful double life that they have as an actor. bald pretending not to be."
