Seth Rogen missed out on a role in Eminem’s hit movie 8 Mile because he started giggling during his audition.
The 39-year-old recalled the incident in a chapter of his new memoir Yearbook, in which he revealed he had gone for the role of Cheddar Bob in the 2002 musical drama.
Rogen explained that he auditioned twice for the film, because he failed to impress the casting director with his rappery dialogue on his first attempt, and was told to bring someone with him to the second audition.
In an interview with Insider, he opened up on the incident and said he brought his Knocked Up co-star Jason Segel to his second audition, but Rogen confessed he struggled to execute his lines and director Curtis Hanson eventually picked someone else.

Yearbook, actor and producer Seth Rogen revealed he tried to latch onto Em’s semi-biographical film with unspectacular results.
Rogen went out for Cheddar Bob, the friend of Em’s Rabbit character who infamously shoots himself with his own gun during a scuffle. While Rogen’s initial audition with the casting director was a flop due to the casting director not liking the “rappery” dialogue, Rogen was asked to bring in someone to do the audition with him. Rogen decided on actor and friend Jason Segel, who ironically was also auditioning to play Cheddar Bob.
