Sony bans actor John Gill from interacting with PlayStation 2 in the frame due to "disgusting" character in Superbad

Actor and screenwriter Seth Rogen told about an interesting incident during the filming of the comedy Superbad. According to him, Sony forbade actor Jonah Hill to touch the PlayStation console in the film because his character was considered "disgusting".

Here's What We Know

During an interview on the red carpet of the South By Southwest festival, Rogen was asked about the strangest comments from studios during filming. He recalled that while working on Superbad, the studio found Hill's character so unacceptable that they banned him from interacting with Sony products on screen.

Rogen said: "They said, 'We can't let him interact with our products because he's too disgusting a character'."

The film features a scene where Michael Cera's character, Evan, plays The Getaway: Black Monday on the PlayStation 2 console. However, due to Sony's remarks, Hill's character could not interact with the console in this scene.
