You have to admire Pineapple Express star Seth Rogen's commitment to method acting. As she transitions to her new role, Sony executive Amy Pascal is moving into the office recently occupied by Rogen — but according to The Hollywood Reporter, her transition has been postponed until the smell of marijuana can be eliminated.
Sources offer conflicting thoughts over the intensity of the lingering marijuana smell Rogen and his writing partner Evan Goldberg left behind. One says that the odor caused no "permanent damage" to the office; another says it "seeped into the flooring." In any case, Pascal will move into a temporary office while the new office is repainted and deep-cleaned.
Pascal was at the center of the whirlwind over last year's Sony hack, which was widely interpreted as a response to the Seth Rogen/James Franco comedy The Interview. Rogen once tweeted that he planned to smoke pot in the White House.
