Seth Rogen says actress Anne Hathaway left the 2007 comedy “Knocked Up” after concerns about a graphic childbirth scene. In discussions featured on “The A24 Podcast,” Rogen said Hathaway was expected to co-star but ultimately “quit,” with Olivia Wilde asking whether the reason was the film’s depiction of “the crowning,” which Rogen described as visually explicit. He said he was told the scene was a dealbreaker for Hathaway because it did not fit her “brand,” explaining that the moment was not intended to be her personal experience and that it nonetheless appeared too graphic for her to participate. Rogen added that the production had begun rehearsing when Hathaway reportedly stepped away, suggesting she may have felt unsure about the project. The account also aligns with reporting that Katherine Heigl later took the female lead role in the film. Multiple outlets repeat Rogen’s claim and describe Heigl as the replacement. One outlet notes it reached out to Hathaway’s representatives for comment, but no response was included in the reports.
