Seth Rogen and James Franco regail us with the tale of an awkward Kanye pitch

Speaking in a backstage interview for The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Franco and Rogen have said:

“We got a call that Kanye West wanted to talk to me and James and we didn’t know what it was about... he gets on the phone with us... he was gonna get married and he talked about how maybe wanted us to perform.”

Franco adds: “He was almost shy! He’s like, ‘I got this idea. I don’t know, but maybe you could come out and do the “Bound” thing. I have the motorcycle and you guys could do it live.’ There was kind of silence for a second after. And then, Seth was like - Seth’s really good - I mean, I’m sure Seth’s heard like a billion pitches of different things so Seth’s good at it. So, he was like, ‘Okay.’ And then Kanye was like, ‘Now that I hear that coming out of my mouth I think maybe it’s not the best idea. Maybe it’d be funny for the first fifteen seconds and then everybody would sit there awkwardly.’ I was game for something. But it seemed like it just wasn’t gonna happen. It was just like, we can just enjoy this phone call.”
