Seth Rogen Is ‘F*cking Psyched All the Time’ to Not Have Kids

• During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show, Seth Rogen revealed why he and his wife, actress and writer Lauren Miller, never want kids.

• “I wouldn’t be able to do all this work that I like…people are always like—it’s something I think I was uncomfortable answering this before—but they were like, ‘How do you do so much?’ The answer is I don’t have kids…I have nothing else to do,” he says.

• The 39-year-old isn't kidding about being busy; the Knocked Up and Superbad star has also recently been the executive producer of shows like Invincible and The Boys.

It's been a good couple years to be a fan of Seth Rogen. In addition to starring in movies like Long Shot and An American Pickle, the 39-year-old actor has also put his producer bonafides on public display, attaching his name to sleeper genre hits like The Boys and Invincible, has a very public interest in pottery, has started his own cannabis brand, and has even just released his first book, titled Yearbook. How does he have time to be so prolific across so many different mediums? Well, he credits the fact that he and his wife—actress/writer/producer Lauren Miller—don't have any children.

“I wouldn’t be able to do all this work that I like…it’s something I think I was uncomfortable answering this before, but they were like, ‘How do you do so much?’ The answer is I don’t have kids. If people are like, 'How do you pottery, and write a book, and make all these movies and TV shows?' It's that I don't have kids." he said during an appearance on The Howard Stern Show. "I have nothing else to do.”

Rogen added that Miller is even more against having kids than he is, and that one of the biggest reasons that the couple don't see the desire is that they simply have "so much fun."

"I don't know anyone that gets as much happiness out of their kids as we get out of our non-kids," he said. "We're fucking psyched, all the time. We're laying in bed on Saturday mornings, smoking weed, watching movies naked, just being like 'If we had kids we could not be fucking doing this.'"

The man has a point! When Stern added that parenting can be hard—specifying that you can't be narcissistic, you've got to be committed to parenting, and that the kids have to be the priority—Rogen reaffirmed his stance. "I don't want that! That does not sound fun to me," he said.

It's important to remember that the decision of having kids or not having kids is always going to be a deeply personal one. Some people will want kids at the earliest possible opportunity—and that's great! Others, like Rogen and Miller, will be firmly in their position—and know exactly what they want.

Rogen added, though, for the record, that he can't really get into the headspace of that former group.

"Why? There's enough kids out there," he said. "We need more people? Who looks at the planet right now and thinks 'You know what we need? More fucking people.' That's truly a confounding thing to me."

Once again, the man has a point.
