It's been a few years since the dreadful Sony Hack that leaked private emails of celebrities and personnel, just before the release of Seth Rogen's film The Interview.
North Korea was accused of the act because of their disapproval for the film's portrayal of their leader.
During his visit to Any Given Wednesday, Rogen Shared his take on the hacks.
"There was a moment where I thought maybe what if all my personal emails came out and I would have had some explaining to do," said Rogen.
"You know you talk s**t about a million people in your day-to-day life in your emailing. Especially if the last 20 years of my emails would have come out which I would not have liked."
Simmons wanted to know if it bothered Rogen that the hacks were referred to as leaks when the emails were stolen. Rogen exclaimed "Yes!" He said it is the only thing that drives him crazy.
He said looking back in 10 years, the Sony hack's most relevance lies in the fact that it was the first major cyber attack that put the media to test.
He said they weren't sure if they protect the victim of the crime or do you do what the perpetrator of the crime was hoping they would do. Rogen said he spoke to a journalist who believed a lot of good came out of it such as the close in the Hollywood pay gap.
However, Rogen said the one woman who lost her job had a very feminine agenda.
She green-lit the new Ghostbusters film and wanted to make movies with less homophobic content and she lost her job as a result of all of the hacks.
