Seth Rogen recalls the ‘humiliating’ time he tried to meet Beyonce at the Grammy Awards: ‘I got what I deserved’
Seth Rogen says he once attempted to meet Beyonce at an awards show, a moment which he calls ‘humiliating’.
The Knocked Up actor recalled the awkward moment, which happened at the 2011 Grammy Awards, in an interview with E! Daily Pop on Tuesday.
Rogen was a presenter at the ceremony but was surprised to find that it didn’t open up an opportunity to meet the singing icon.

‘I saw Beyonce at the Grammys with Gwyneth Paltrow actually and they were together,’ he recalled. ‘I charged over. Instinct took over.’
Rogen says he didn’t get very close to Bey before one of her security guards stopped him in his tracks.
‘I was hit so hard by her security guard that I spilled a drink,’ Rogen said. ‘I got what I deserved… I was humiliated and I didn’t get to meet Beyonce.’
The actor’s drink spilled on his suit and he said he had to hide the stain with his arm when he was presenting on stage.
In recent years the Superbad star has become friends with the singer and her rapper husband Jay Z. Rogen also worked with Beyonce in 2019, when they both voiced characters on the movie The Lion King.
‘I saw Beyonce at the Grammys with Gwyneth Paltrow actually and they were together,’ he recalled. ‘I charged over. Instinct took over.’
‘I was hit so hard by her security guard that I spilled a drink,’ Rogen said. ‘I got what I deserved… I was humiliated and I didn’t get to meet Beyonce.’
Meanwhile the star has been discussing how he doesn’t want kids.
Rogen has been married to Lauren Miller since 2011, but the couple are happy without starting a family together and have no intentions of welcoming any children any time soon.
Speaking during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Seth said: ‘I wouldn’t be able to do all this work that I like… People are always like – it’s something I think I was uncomfortable answering this before — but they were like, “How do you do so much?” The answer is I don’t have kids… I have nothing else to do.’
The actor also insisted he and his spouse have ‘so much fun’ together because they don’t have to spend time looking after children.

He added: ‘I don’t know anyone who gets as much happiness out of their kids as we get out of our non-kids. Like, we’re f****** psyched all the time! We’re laying in bed on Saturday mornings smoking weed, watching movies naked. If we had kids, we could not be f****** doing this.’
And Seth says Lauren is even less thrilled about the idea of children than he is.
He said: ‘I would say she wants kids less than I do. I could probably be talked into it; she’s like no.’
Show host Howard Stern then explained it isn’t ‘easy’ having kids, and Seth added it doesn’t ‘sound fun’ to him.
He explained: ‘Yeah, like, I don’t want that. That does not sound fun to me. And why? There’s enough kids out there. We need more people? Who looks at the planet right now and thinks “You know what we need right now? More f****** people.” That’s truly a confounding thing to me.’
