Seth Rogen is the classic overweight funnyman in all of his movies. In “Knocked Up”, he played a sloppy, weed-smoking, internet entrepreneur who made a website that pinpointed the exact moment when nudity occurred in a movie … and it was funny. In “Superbad”, he played a fun-loving police officer who couldn’t chase the high school kids … and it was hilarious. In “Pineapple Express”, he played an unmotivated process server that gets caught up in a drug war … and it was pretty comical. So what’s this about Seth Rogen losing weight?

Seth Rogen is losing weight for his upcoming comic book role of the Green Hornet. The film isn’t set to release until June 25, 2010, and it’s only in pre-production, but already Rogen is feeling the pain of shedding the pounds. In fact, he considers himself a sell out for conforming his body to the role.
“I’ve been eating better and training - and hating myself for it. I feel like a sell out, I feel lame, I feel like a guy I would make fun of.”
It’s particularly interesting that Rogen feels so bad about the weight loss, because he’s the one who wrote the screenplay. But don’t worry, pounds or no pounds, he insists that the film will be funny.
