Judd Apatow picks up a pink smoothie in Los Angeles after defending the Barbie movie as his actress wife Leslie Mann opts for a green one
Leslie Mann and Judd Apatow stopped for smoothies at the trendy Urth Cafe in West Hollywood this week.
The actress, 51, opted for a green one and the writer-director, 56, opted for a pink concoction.
The This is 40 star looked comfortable in a gray tank top that exposed a bit of her toned stomach, baggy black sweatpants and an oversized black hoodie with a zip up the front.
The 40-year-old Virgin writer and director wore a black T-shirt with a rainbow logo for the Comedy Cellar, black pants and a black zip-front hoodie.
The couple has been married for almost 27 years and shares nepo baby daughters Maude Apatow, 26, and Iris Apatow, 21.

Both of their daughters are actresses, with Maude starring in HBO’s Euphoria and Iris in the Netflix series Love and Krystal Kris.
It was Maude who inspired the creation of the term nepo baby in 2022, when X users (formerly Twitter) were shocked to discover she was the daughter of Judd and Leslie.
The viral post sparked a fierce debate over whether or not the descendants of the rich and famous were given an unfair advantage.
Earlier this month, Judd said it is “insulting” that Barbie has been nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay category in the Oscars race.
The filmmaker denounced the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ decision on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
He wrote: ‘It is insulting to the writers to say that they were working from existing material. There was no existing material or story. There was a clear box.”
It is interesting to note that Apatow believes there was “no existing material,” as the fashion doll Barbie has been around since 1959.
In fact, previous Oscar nominees like Toy Story 3 and Borat 2 were ultimately identified as adapted screenplays with similar reasoning.

Earlier this month, Judd said it is “insulting” that Barbie has been nominated for the Best Adapted Screenplay category in the Oscars race. The filmmaker denounced the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ decision on X (formerly Twitter) on Saturday.
Variety first reported that the Margot Robbie-led film would compete for Adapted Screenplay despite attempts to get it into the Original Screenplay category.
The Writers Branch of the Academy Committee determines a film’s eligibility in the submitted categories and is not bound by what the Writers Guild of America (WGA) wants or prefers.
The WGA previously designated Barbie as an original work and it has remained in that category for the upcoming WGA Awards.
Barbie was the highest-grossing film of 2023 with a whopping $1.4 billion worldwide.
