Susanna Reid forced to apologise for Seth Rogen’s ‘strong language’ after he admits smoking cannabis ‘all day every day’

SUSANNA Reid was forced to apologise after actor Seth Rogen swore on Good Morning Britain after admitting he smokes cannabis “all day, every day”.

The 39-year-old comic spouted “strong language” as he recalled advice his grandmother gave him when he moved to Los Angeles.

Seth said during the late-night chat from his LA home: “I told a lot of jokes about my grandparents. My first set was when I was 12 years old in a lesbian bar.

“They were very funny to me, my grandmother especially who was born fleeing World War One.

“She was a tough lady and before I moved to LA her advice to me was ‘give those sons of b*****s hell’, I’ll never forget that.”

The language wasn’t picked up on at the time, but once the interview ended host Susanna said sorry to viewers.

She said: “He did use some strong language during that interview, so apologies for that if you were offended.”

During the 20-minute interview before 7am, Seth discussed smoking cannabis “all day, every day”.

Guest host Bill Turnbull – who this week told This Sun how he uses “garlic, ‘cannabis’ and an oxygen tent” to fight his prostate cancer.

The actor spoke about smoking cannabis

“You’re very honest about it, you smoke cannabis every day?”, asked Bill.

Seth replied: “I do, I smoke cannabis all day every day.

“I have for the last 25 years or so I would say. It’s something that is intrinsic to my day to day functionality.”

But the actor went on to blast the use of alcohol.

He said: “I personally think alcohol – and I know this is the last thing British people want to hear – but on the grand scale of things we put in our bodies to intoxicate ourselves or remove ourselves from our normal baseline of functionality, alcohol is not a good one.


“It’s high in calories, it gives you a hangover. There are other things we can be putting in our bodies that have less calories and don’t make you feel bad the next day, but they are much more stigmatised than alcohol.”

“The idea that people who smoke weed are lazy or that if you smoke weed all day you’re problematic or there’s something wrong with you is just not true and it’s mostly based on racist lies told by people many years ago that we still unfortunately believe for the most part.”
