Cera fired from Knocked Up? May. 28, 2007

I really have no idea whether or not this is true, but it's pretty interesting either way. Apparently, the following clip is of Michael Cera (ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT) in the Seth Rogen role before he was fired. The story goes that Cera was the first choice to play the male lead in KNOCKED UP, before he was canned in favour of Rogen, when the following happened:




The clip is weird because it's not so incredibly believable like the infamous David O. Russell clip is, but equally, it's not clearly bullshit either. My first impression would be that the story is a fabrication and was staged to generate a little more buzz. If the video is real, then thank god Cera went nuts, because Rogen takes a dump all over this performance. And I'm not even just saying that because it's Seth Rogen week here at JoBlo.com. It also means that Rogen ad-libbed that "F*ck off! response to Heigl's "I'm pregnant" line, which is genius!

Extra Tidbit: Rogen was a writer on DA ALI G SHOW.

Check out the smile on Katherine's face when she says shit at the end.

Fake but a nice dig at Russell.

Really funny, but they milked it a little too long. Everyone knows that Rogen is a cop in the upcoming "SuperBad" w/ Cera. So there buddies, duh?

If you're still wondering whether its fake, know this: Seth Rogen was a part of Knocked Up since its inception. The part was written for him, and the best friends in the movie are his actual best friends.

Clearly making fun of the O'Russell clip. C'mon guys, not sure if this is real? Michael Cera in the lead of 'Knocked up?' The B.S. meter needs to be tured on here.

This reminds me of a special feature on the Tom Goes To The Mayor DVD. Tim gets fired, and Cera comes on to replace him. It was hilarious.

Judd Apatow, on the other hand, isn't as good an actor. He's a phenomenal director, but this clip smarts of acting when he's talking.

There's no way that this was real. Who would honestly believe, if Cera was the main lead after all, that the movie would go like that? I never even heard that he was attached to this project, so I'm sure that they brough him in for a day to pull this off. That's why it's called acting people, and that's why they're the best.

The comment "Your show isn't even on the air any more" was the biggest give away. Brilliantly staged. I am guessing he visited the set one day and they figured it would be a laugh. Guess what? They were right!

lol this is a set up, but i dont think Heigl is on the in. Michaels humor comes from being low energy like in AD and Superbad.
Also know that superbad which he is in, was a script from Seth Rogans childhood.

Cool video, but I have doubts it's real. And I have no clue who this kid is, and if this is real, I'm glad he wasn't picked. Seth Rogan is no A-list star, but fans of the 40-Year-Old Virgin will know him.
