Seth Rogen's Paul Ryan Encounter Will Make You Feel So Awkward For The House Speaker

By MORGAN BRINLEE

Sometimes celebrities just aren't in the mood to snap a selfie with you. Other times, you just happen to be Paul Ryan. Seth Rogen said he refused a photo with Ryan on the grounds that the House speaker is, well, Ryan. The Canadian-born comedic actor revealed his awkward encounter with the House speaker on Friday during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.

Rogen told late-night host Stephen Colbert he'd run into Ryan earlier this month when he spoke about Alzheimer's at a Park City, Utah, summit organized by former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Although the summit is known to attract a number of top Republicans, Rogen said he viewed it as "a good chance to reach across the aisle."

"Almost all of the attendees were Republican people," Rogen said. "I'm OK with that, but I didn't know how I would react, honestly, to every situation." And it seems that Rogen, who has previously spoken out against the Trump administration, did have at least one awkward encounter at the summit. "I was put into a bit of a pickle," Rogen said in reference to meeting Ryan.

While at the summit, Rogen said he was approached by two teenage boys who asked to take a photo with him.
