Seth Rogen reveals he was scared of Michael Fassbender on the set of Steve Jobs

Intimidating

Can we blame him?

Michael Fassbender has been in some serious films through the years, including Shame, Hunger and A Dangerous Method.

Seth Rogen? Not so much.

So it only makes sense that the American funny-man was a bit intimidated by his Irish co-star on the set of the new Steve Jobs biopic.

Speaking to The Telegraph, Rogen admits that he approached Fassbender to ask him a series of questions to find out what kind of guy the Kerryman was: “Are you, like, weird? Do I have to call you Steve? Are you going to be mean to me?”

Luckily for the Superbad star, Fassbender kept it friendly on set. “He wasn’t in character all the time,” Rogen said. “It wasn’t that different to the process I’m used to.”
