Rogen admits he took her word at face value, but wonders if she just didn’t vibe with rehearsals. The film, a 2007 rom-com smash that made over $219 million, might’ve looked very different with Hathaway in it. Rogen also opens up about how Heigl’s post-release criticism stung — until she later clarified she actually loved the film and Rogen, proving time heals and miscommunication can be forgiven.
