Seth Rogen's glazed look at the Paris Olympics went viral on Thursday as fans quipped he was 'high as a kite' watching the women's gymnastics individual all-around competition.

The Knocked Up star, 42, who previously revealed he 'smokes weed all day, every day', looked off into the distance as he watched Simone Biles compete.

The star wore a blue baseball cap and shirt paired with spectacles as he watched the action unfold with a blank expression.

Rogen's look quickly sparked reaction from fans on social media - with one writing: 'Seth Rogen is high as a kite at these Olympics! He's waiting for Mary Lou Retton to do her vault'

Others wrote: 'there's no way seth rogen knows he's in paris' 'Did the edible hit ⁦@Sethrogen⁩ ? ' and 'His gummies just kicked in.'

'It would be like saying you can't wear clothes anymore': Seth Rogen admits it would 'really hard' to live without marijuana after smoking the drug to help his OCD and Tourettes

Back in 2021 Rogen revealed his penchant for weed in a chat with Steven Bartlett on his The Diary of a CEO podcast. 

He said: 'Yeah, for sure. I smoke weed all day, so I would imagine it would be worse if I didn’t.

After Bartlett then asked whether Rogen actually meant 'all day, every day' the star responded: 'Yes, I smoke weed all day, every single day, since I was 20 years old maybe. And I’ve been very productive in that time.'

'It only makes my journey through this life more comfortable, more palatable, easier to process, easier to manifest the things that I want to do, exactly how I would be trying to do the same things in my life without shoes on or without my glasses on or without a jacket on.

'That is what it would be like for me to do it without smoking weed.'

He said he could 'probably' go through life without marijuana but that it would be more of a 'pain in the a**.'

He previously told British GQ that he's smoked marijuana to help his obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourettes, which are low-level but more pronounced in his father.

Asked whether he could live without the drug, he said: 'It would be like saying you can't wear clothes anymore. It would be a real bummer. It would make it really hard for me to do what I need to do in the world.'

'The only stigma with weed is because it affects your brain. And people are just weird about it. They don't like talking about brain health.'

Currently marijuana is legal for medical use in 38 states including California, Nevada and Vermont, while 24 have also made the drug legal for recreational use.  

Seth also confessed he between the ages of 13 and 23 he 'drank as often as he could without derailing his life in any meaningful way,' but slowly began to question why he needed to drink so heavily.

He said: 'Like, why am I getting blackout drunk at these things and hating myself the next day? And I think I realised I had been lied to about alcohol and that it held a place in society for the wrong reasons.'

'Once I grew more comfortable with doing other drugs that were more stigmatised and not worrying about damage in terms of anyone's perceptions of me, there was just a point where I realised I just need to be comfortable doing a quarter tab of molly [MDMA] at this party and not drinking and having a much better time. 

'Or eating a tiny bit of shrooms at this thing or having a [weed] lollipop. The next day I don't have a hangover. I'm not throwing up. It's just much better for me...Truly, you would be better off doing a hit of acid than drinking.'
