People Loved It When Seth Rogen Dyed His Hair. He Now Reveals Why It Was ‘Objectively Pathetic’
After going viral for his bleach-blonde locks, Seth Rogen revealed why it was pathetic.
Seth Rogen broke the internet in June 2022 when he posted a video of him sporting bleach-blonde hair. The internet went into a frenzy over his new blonde look. At the time, followers wondered why the comedic movie star had suddenly lighted his locks. Months over the online frenzy, Rogen revealed why the color change was objectively pathetic.
The Sausage Party star finally spilled about his blonde tresses while promoting his new Apple TV+ series Platonic. Rogen mentioned his new look was for the limited series. So, it wasn’t for the life-changing look that online fans thought it was. The Hollywood A-lister opened up about why dying his hair blonde was important for the comedy series.
His bleach-blonde locks were just part of Seth Rogen getting into character for the Apple TV+ series. Now, everything makes sense as he was playing a recent divorcee going through a midlife crisis. His look fits the character’s situation perfectly. Unfortunately, as Rogen stated, seeing a man in his 40s dying his hair blonde automatically screams someone trying to recapture their youth.
Despite the color change just being a project, Seth Rogen enjoyed his blonde locks and the response he got from them. The 41-year-old actor mentioned to Newsweek even though everyone enjoyed his new look he couldn’t ignore the correlation between his age and color choice. Rogen spilled what happened after he decided to shave his head.
The comedy star just wanted to avoid being called out by his family, friends, and fans once the project was completed. Being the same age as his character could’ve translated to his real-life interactions. So, he had the forethought of cutting the criticism off at the knees before it even started. If you want to relive Rogen’s bleach-blonde era, just look at his viral Instagram reveal below.
