James Franco has confirmed that his long-standing friendship with Seth Rogen has come to an end, stating, "I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying." Franco expressed his gratitude for the lessons learned during his personal controversies, saying that being told he was 'bad' was painful but necessary for his growth.
