Seth Rogen opens up about not having the desire to have children, admitting that his wife Lauren Miller wanted kids ‘less than I do’.
It was in 2011 when the couple tied the knot and has since worked alongside each other on many films, including the 2016 movie Sausage Party.
Appearing on The Howard Stern Show, the actor explained why he and his wife both don’t plan on having children.
When asked by host Howard Stern whether he and Lauren wanted children, the Superbad actor responded with a firm ‘no.’
He then explained how he has a lot of time to work on big projects, saying: “The answer is, I don’t have kids. If people are like, ‘how do you do pottery and write a book and make all these movies and TV shows?
“It’s that I don’t have kids, I have nothing else to do.”
During the interview, Rogen admitted that he couldn’t wrap his head around having children but the couple have no regrets.
“We have so much fun,” he said.
“I don’t know anyone who gets as much happiness out of their kids as we get out of our non-kids.”
Stern, who has three children, then told the actor: “It’s not an easy haul having kids. You can’t be narcissistic, you have to give yourself over to parenting, and they’ve gotta be the priority.”
To which the actor responded: “Yeah, I don’t want that. That does not sound fun to me.”
“And why?” Rogen added. “There’s enough kids out there. We need more people? Who looks at the planet right now and thinks ‘You know what we need right now? More f—ing people.’ That’s truly a confounding thing to me.”
Celebrating their anniversary in October, the actor took to Instagram and wrote that he “can’t believe I’ve been lucky enough to find the perfect partner to go through life with.”
He also said that he loves Lauren “more every day.”
