Like many in Hollywood, Seth Rogen too is not a fan of the Trump administration and the actor says he once rejected Republican Speaker of the House, Paul Ryan's request for a photograph.
The 36-year-old actor-writer, who is a longtime proponent and advocate for Alzheimer's research had been asked to speak about brain health at Mitt Romney's annual summit, Variety reported.
Rogen recalled the incident in an appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert", saying he was approached by two "very nice", "very white" young men who asked for a photo.
"Then they said, 'Our dad wants to meet you,' and I turned around and Paul Ryan was walking towards me. He came over and grabbed my hand and I'm just shaking his hand, I don't know what to do, and he said, 'Can I have a picture with you?'" he said.
With Ryan's children in tow, Rogen said, "No way, man!" and went to scold him for the Trump administration's actions.
The actor said he went on a relentless critique spree and did not realise Ryan's kids were still present.

"I couldn't stop and I said, 'Furthermore, I hate what you're doing to the country at this moment and I count the days till you no longer have one iota of the power that you currently have'. And I look over and his kids are still standing right there," he said.
Rogen said he felt "very conflicted" about putting the Republican in an embarrassing situation.
"It's not their fault but at the same time, they should probably learn that if they like a movie or song, the person that made that probably doesn't like their dad that much," he said.
