Seth and James in Pineapple Express Credit: Columbia

Actors James Franco and Seth Rogen, on the surface, couldn't be more different; the hottie with the movie idol face and smile and the cuddle bear funny boy. However, these two have been buds since they co-starred in the cult-fave TV series "Freaks and Geeks". James has been waiting for that "different" role to take him out of "prettyboy land" and Seth is often relegated to "side-kick" or "guy who doesn't save the day" roles.

All this changes with the stoner-anthem film Pineapple Express. James plays the stoner, dealer, 60's-throwback loser and Seth is the guy with the girl and the responsible job... at least for a while. Originally, the guys were going to play the opposite role but decided to go untraditional. We cornered the unlikely duo in Beverly Hills recently and got them to spill on their friendship, making the funny film, experiences in high school and.. what makes them tick. Get set for a funny, heartfelt riff from Rogen and Franco.... [Warning: This film is rated "R" for drug use, language and violence]...but it's funny.

TeenHollywood: You guys met as young actors as 'Freaks and Geeks'? Did you bond then?

James: Yeah, we hung out quite a bit with Jason [Segel].

Seth: We all hung out. I think at that point in our lives the age gap was a lot more significant. James is a few years older than me.
