Seth Rogen isn’t losing his mind over Donald Trump’s alleged affair with a porn star.
The comedian shocked the world Monday after he revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that he might have known about former porn star Stormy Daniels’ alleged affair with Trump a long time ago.
He told DeGeneres that he worked with her while filming both “Knocked Up” and “The 40-Year Old Virgin,” and during those projects, she didn’t exactly keep the details about her alleged affair with Trump to herself.
“I’ve known Stormy Daniels a long time,” Rogen said. “And I’ll be honest, she may have mentioned some of this stuff around 10 years ago. At the time, 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’ve said. And so, yeah, she had mentioned it. Again it wasn’t — at the time — wasn’t that surprising 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 even that it would come out or that anyone would care about it, but then when I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, Stormy told us all about that.'”
It’s not entirely surprising that Stormy would be talking so freely about her alleged affair with Trump. She claims she didn’t sign her nondisclosure agreement until 2016 — right as Trump locked up the Republican nomination.
A lot has changed since the release of “Knocked Up” and “The 40-Year Old Virgin.” Trump’s alleged affair with a porn star dominates headlines and Rogen is one of the president’s most vocal critics. He’s posted messages for Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter, asking his dad to “resign before he destroys the planet.”
Yo! @DonaldJTrumpJr! I noticed you follow me on Twitter. Please ask your dad to resign before he destroys the planet. Thanks dude.

As anti-Trump as Rogen may be, however, he doesn’t seem to be losing his mind over Stormy Daniels like some of his colleagues.
