Seth Rogen prefers not to speak about his past friendship with James Franco . Four months after Franco, 46, told Variety at the Rome Film Festival that he believed their friendship had run its course, Rogen, 42, shared his take on Franco's comments in a new cover story interview with Esquire .

Franco said in October that the duo haven't been in contact, despite his best efforts: "I've told him how much he’s meant to me."

Seth Rogen has responded to James Franco recently revealing that their years-long friendship ended after the latter faced several allegations of sexual misconduct.
