Hollywood’s favorite funnyman, Seth Rogen, is finally pulling back the curtain on a decade-old mystery: why Anne Hathaway abruptly ditched the Judd Apatow classic, "Knocked Up." Fans have speculated for years, but now Rogen is serving up the juicy details, and it’s not what anyone expected.
Back in the mid-2000s, the buzz around "Knocked Up" was huge. The script was hot, and Apatow was cementing his status as the king of R-rated comedies. Anne Hathaway, fresh off her "Princess Diaries" fame and heading into more mature roles, was initially tapped for the female lead, Alison Scott, an ambitious entertainment journalist who gets pregnant after a one-night stand.
According to Rogen, the sticking point wasn’t creative differences or scheduling conflicts, as many rumors suggested. Instead, it all boiled down to a single, surprising issue: a birth scene.
