Emma Watson is one of the most popular actresses we have in the world of entertainment. She ruled hearts as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter films series and many critically and commercially acclaimed films such as My Week With Marilyn, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Colonia, The Circle, Regression to name a few. The actress also featured in an American Apocalyptic Comedy film called This Is The End directed by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. There were reports that Emma Watson had stormed off from the sets after she did not like a scene that they were filming. However, Seth Rogen who also acted in This Is The End, refuted the same. Rogen had spoken up about the issue in an interview and it was taken off as Emma Watson stormed off the sets of the film. Talking about the scene from This Is The End, it featured Danny McBride accepting his cannibal instincts and Channing Tatum playing his prisoner on a leash. Recalling and addressing the incident in an interview with British GQ, Seth Rogen had said, "I mean, I don’t look back on that and think, 'How dare she do that?’ You know? I think sometimes when you read something, when it comes to life it doesn’t seem to be what you thought it was."
