Emma Watson tells the 'most icky' joke in This Is the End
The 23-year-old actress plays a fictionalised version of herself in the black comedy about a group of friends in the aftermath of a global apocalypse.
Seth Rogen, James Franco, Jonah Hill, Jay Baruchel, Danny McBride, Craig Robinson and Michael Cera all star as themselves in the movie, with co-writer and director Seth praising Emma's unknown comedic abilities.
'We wanted to have some people nobody would expect to be with us and every time someone asks, ‘Why the hell is Emma Watson in the movie?’, that’s why Emma Watson is in the movie. We thought it was funny to have someone who was the last person you would expect to be associated with us. And she was great,' he gushed in an interview with British newspaper The Telegraph.
'On her first day I think she was a little thrown by how loose we are with our material because I don’t think they did a lot of improvising on those Harry Potter movies, but she very quickly got in the swing of it and was improvising as much as everyone else. One of her jokes is probably one of the most icky in the entire movie and she fully commits to it and it’s one of the biggest laughs.'
Seth has starred in a string of hit comedy movies including Knocked Up, Superbad and Pineapple Express.
The actor has revealed the secret to his success.
'We make movies for us. When we made Superbad we were like 18 or 19 years old and we were the people that the movie was intended for. Pineapple Express is about guys in their late twenties who don’t know what to do with their lives and that’s who we were when we made that movie. This movie is about guys in their thirties who are kind of stuck between their old lives and their new lives,' he said.
'So it’s important to us to make movies that are targeted towards us and not towards other people.'
