Actors Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill recently expressed their displeasure with a live streamer who interrupted the filming of the Apple TV+ series "The Studio" in Venice Beach, Los Angeles.
The incident occurred Friday when YouTuber Yung Mooch, who has a significant following on Instagram and YouTube, encountered Rogen and Hill while they were filming Season 2 of the show. Mooch approached the actors, who were seated on electric scooters, and initiated a conversation.
Rogen immediately responded to Mooch's greeting by stating, "No! We're working!" as Mooch attempted to get advice from the actors about making it in Los Angeles. Hill, when asked for advice, suggested, "Just enjoy your life, be a kind person." Crew members then intervened to ask Mooch to leave.
Mooch persisted, approaching Rogen again and asking for advice. Rogen, while attempting to maintain distance, replied, "I would say don’t f–k with people when they’re trying to make their show." He added, "That’s the best advice I can give." When Mooch continued to ask for "one advice," an exasperated Rogen eventually said, "Be yourself."
Mooch eventually moved away from the set, documenting the encounter for his audience. He noted that the video took considerable time to film and edit.
Filming for the second season of "The Studio" began in March. The series, co-created by Rogen and his producing partner Evan Goldberg, along with Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, centers on Rogen's character, a new Hollywood studio head aiming to elevate Continental Studios. The first season of "The Studio" received numerous Emmy nominations and wins, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Rogen.
