Actor Seth Rogen reflects on ‘unexpectedly chaotic vibe’ at Adele concert

Seth Rogen recently shared the wild, weed-infused story of his unforgettable (and slightly chaotic) experience at Adele’s One Night Only concert in 2021 during a candid chat on The Howard Stern Show. The actor, known for his laid-back humor, revealed how a simple invite turned into a front-row frenzy.

“My wife Lauren and I got a call like, ‘Hey, wanna go to an Adele concert?’ Obviously, we’re like, ‘Hell yeah! Who says no to Adele?’” Rogen recalled. But the vibe took a sharp turn when they arrived. “We smoked a little beforehand, thinking it’d be chill… then realized, Oh crap, this isn’t just a concert—it’s a giant televised event!”

The panic deepened when they checked their tickets: seats A1 and A2, dead center in the front row. “I’ve never met Adele, never even seen her in person. Suddenly, I’m thinking, Why am I here?” Rogen laughed. “The whole time, I’m sweating, trying to look like the most engaged fan alive because cameras kept zooming in on me!”

Despite the pressure, the Superbad star managed to keep his cool—sort of. “I think I pulled it off, but man, it was intense! I became that guy they kept cutting to. Adele’s belting out heartbreak anthems, and I’m just nodding like, ‘Yep, felt that!’”

Rogen’s relatable mix of starstruck nerves and humor struck a chord with fans, proving even celebrities aren’t immune to awkward front-row moments.
