Seth Rogen’s glazed look at the Paris Olympics went viral on Thursday, with fans joking that he was “stoned as a kite” watching the women’s individual all-around.
The 42-year-old Knocked Up star, who previously revealed he smokes weed “all day, every day,” watched Simone Biles’ match from a distance.
Wearing a blue baseball cap and shirt, paired with glasses, the star watched the proceedings with a blank stare.
Rogen’s look quickly drew reactions from fans on social media, with one writing, “Seth Rogen is stoned as a kite at these Olympics! He’s waiting for Mary Lou Retton to do her jump”
Others wrote: ‘there’s no way Seth Rogen knows he’s in Paris’, ‘Did the edible hit @Sethrogen?’ and ‘His gummies just started working.’

Another wrote: ‘the best moment of the show is when they switch to Seth Rogen looking elated and Laurie Hernandez starts crying because she’s so happy he’s there.’
In 2021, Rogen revealed his love for weed in a conversation with Steven Bartlett on his podcast The Diary of a CEO.
He said, ‘Yeah, definitely. I smoke weed all day long, so I imagine it would be worse if I didn’t.
After Bartlett then asked if Rogen actually meant “all day, every day,” the star responded, “Yeah, I’ve been smoking weed all day, every day, since I was maybe 20 years old. And I’ve been very productive during that time.”
‘It just makes my journey through life more comfortable, more palatable, easier to process, and easier to manifest the things I want to do, just as I would try to do the same things in my life without shoes on, without glasses on, or without a coat on.
“That’s what it would be like for me if I did it without smoking weed.”
He said he could “probably” get by without marijuana, but that it would be more of a “troublemaker.”
He previously told British GQ that he smokes marijuana to treat his obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette’s syndrome, which are mildly prevalent but affect his father more severely.

Asked if he could live without the drug, he said: “It would be like saying you can’t wear clothes. It would be a real bummer. It would make it very hard for me to do what I need to do in the world.”
“The only stigma with weed is that it damages your brain. And people are just weird about it. They don’t like to talk about brain health.”
Currently, marijuana is legal for medical use in 38 states, including California, Nevada, and Vermont. In 24 states, the drug is also legal for recreational use.
Seth also confessed that between the ages of 13 and 23, he “drank as often as he could without it disrupting his life in any meaningful way,” but that he slowly began to question why he had to drink so much.
When asked if he could live without the drug, he said: “It would be like saying you can’t wear clothes. It would really suck. It would make it really hard for me to do what I need to do in the world.
He said, ‘Why do I get so drunk doing this stuff and hate myself the next day? And I think I realized that I had been lied to about alcohol and that it had a place in society for all the wrong reasons.’
‘As I became more comfortable using other drugs that were more stigmatized and I didn’t have to worry about the damage it could do to someone’s perception of me, there came a point where I realized I just had to feel comfortable taking a quarter tablet of Molly. [MDMA] at this party, without drinking and having a much more fun time.
‘Or eat a little bit of mushrooms with this thing or a [weed] lollipop. The next day I don’t have a hangover. I don’t puke. It’s just so much better for me… Honestly, you’d be better off taking a hit of acid than drinking.’
