Seth Rogen said he heard about Stormy Daniels’ alleged affair with Donald Trump years ago, and that it didn’t come as a surprise.
“I’ve known Stormy Daniels a long time, and I’ll be honest, she may have mentioned some of this stuff around 10 years ago at the time,” the voice of Pumbaa in the upcoming live-action “The Lion King” said on “Ellen” Monday.
“When you ask a porn star who they’ve been sleeping with and the answer was Donald Trump, it was like the least surprising thing that she could have said,” he said. “So yeah, she had mentioned it, actually.”
Rogen, who worked with Daniels on “Knocked Up” and “The 40 Year-Old Virgin,” reiterated that it wasn’t surprising when she told him about the affair a decade ago.
“Again, it wasn’t, at the time, wasn’t that surprising,” the actor said. “And then as his campaign rolled out, it became clear that no one cared about anything he did. So it didn’t really occur to me that it would even come out or anyone would care about it. But then when I saw it I was like, ‘Oh yeah, Stormy told us all about that.’”
Rogen said that it was easier to hire porn actresses to portray strippers in movies because they were more comfortable with the role.
“For Stormy, that was the easiest thing she did all week,” Rogen said.
