When I first heard that tubby comedian, Seth Rogen was cast as the lead in The Green Hornet movie, I was a bit skeptical. Rogen has been great in movies such as Knocked Up and Pineapple Express, yet I couldn’t imagine him being the sophisticated vigilante. Now that pictures are leaking on the web, I am impressed on how much Rogen has slimmed down for this role. Rogen has been quoted recently that he took the role seriously and wanted to get into “fighting shape”. With the help of a personal trainer, Rogen has taken may different steps to change his diet and lifestyle.
“I’ve been eating better and training – and hating myself for it. I feel like a sell-out, I feel lame, I feel like a guy I would make fun of.”
Apparently, Rogen is not digging the new changes, but we are happy he is making an attempt.
“I go there real early in the morning. He tells me what to do, and I go home and go to sleep, and it’s like it never even happened.”
It will be interesting to see some visuals such as a trailer or a teaser to see how the movie will flow. We hope the story and character development is done well considering it would be a shame for Rogen to go through the torturous act of getting “healthy” only to have the movie blow. Funny thing is, even with all the weight loss and the signature Green Hornet mask, you can see that goofy face of Seth Rogen. Hit the jump to see more pictures!
BTW… Jay Chou as Kato…. I fuckin’ hate that guy. He can’t act for shit.
