Seth Rogen recalls ‘humiliating’ interaction with Beyonce at The Grammys

Seth Rogen has recalled a run-in with Queen B at The Grammys which left him red-faced when he went to present an award later in the night.

Seth Rogen is spilling on life in Hollywood, including several bizarre and embarrassing interactions with fellow stars over the years.

Off the back of the release of his memoir Yearbook, the comedian has recalled the moment a run-in with Beyoncé’s security team at the Grammy Awards left him “humiliated”.

In an interview with E! News’ Daily Pop podcast, the Superbad star joked that he “got what he deserved” after he approached Beyoncé for a chat.

“I saw Beyoncé at the Grammys with Gwyneth Paltrow actually and they were together,” the 39-year-old said.

“I charged over. Instinct took over.”

Before he could introduce himself to the megastar, Beyoncé’s security guards intervened, knocking his drink all over him and staining his suit shortly before he was due to present an award.

“I got what I deserved … I was humiliated and I didn’t get to meet Beyoncé.”

Rogen said his spilt cocktail ruined his suit, leaving him forced to hide the stain onstage with awkward arm positioning.

The actor did not confirm when exactly the incident occurred, but he did present at the 2011 Grammy Awards, where Paltrow and Beyoncé were spotted together.

The three stars were even photographed backstage.

Rogen also reveals awkward Tom Cruise encounter

In an excerpt from his collection of essays, Rogen revealed he and Judd Apatow once had a bizarre encounter with Tom Cruise, in which the actor raved about Louis Farrakhan, blamed “the pharmaceutical industry” for his nutty public image and offered a lecture on Scientology.

The wild meeting happened in 2006 at the Top Gun legend’s Los Angeles mansion, as Rogen was filming the movie Knocked Up with Apatow. The pair were invited to meet with Cruise to discuss comedy.

Rogen said he sensed something was weird as soon as he drove up and saw Cruise, his then-wife, Katie Holmes, and their then-newborn baby, Suri, waiting to greet him.

“(Holmes) had a vague ‘please rescue me from this place’ look on her face,” Rogen noted.

After Apatow arrived, the three sat down and had a four-hour-long conversation about movies. Then the conversation gently veered into the public perception of the superstar.

“There’s a co-ordinated effort to make it appear that way,” Cruise explained.

When Rogen asked who was behind it, the Top Gun star confidently replied: “The pharmaceutical industry … because my exposure of their fraud has cost them so much money that they’re desperate. They’re scrambling and they’re doing everything they can to discredit me so I won’t hurt sales anymore.”

When Rogen gingerly asked: “Big Pharma made you jump on Oprah’s couch?” Cruise explained that the footage had been edited “to make it look so much worse than it was”.

He apparently told Rogen: “They do that all the time. You should see what they do to my friend Louis Farrakhan!”

After Apatow noted that the controversial religious leader had a history of blatantly anti-Semitic comments, Cruise rebutted that Farrakhan was “great”.
