Seth Rogen looks to Paris Hilton for inspiration
The 28-year-old actor Seth Rogen, writer, and producer of The Green Hornet and co-writer Evan Goldberg took inspiration from socialite Paris Hilton.
“We kind of based him off a male Paris Hilton, as embarrassing as that is to say,” he told MTV News. “That is what we looked at — those people who are the sons or daughters of people who have accomplished great things. We probably give them a little more credit than they have gotten in the past and we explore why they’re such jerks and why they act out. Maybe it is because they didn’t get the attention they wanted.”
Rogen plays the adult Britt Reid, the scion of a large Los Angeles media company. He appears to be careless – partying with girls, drinking, trashing a hotel – not unlike many socialites these days. As fans know, this is the character that becomes the superhero, Green Hornet.
The Green Hornet will be released January 14.
