Seth Rogen found himself at the center of a social media storm after making a controversial joke about actress Celia Imrie during the TV BAFTAs on Sunday night. The 44-year-old actor, who was on stage to accept an award in the International category for his series The Studio, made a cheeky remark that left many viewers baffled.

Controversial BAFTAs Joke

As Rogen took the stage, he pointed to Imrie and said, "I assume this woman in the green dress is a very accomplished and talented woman, but all I know is that she farted on a reality TV show." He then added, "What else have you done?" The comment referenced an incident from last year's Celebrity Traitors, where Imrie famously broke wind during a scene.

Social Media Backlash

Viewers quickly took to social media to express their dismay, questioning why Rogen would make such a remark about the acclaimed actress. Many pointed out that Imrie has an extensive film and TV career, making the joke seem out of place.

Tribute to Late Co-Star

Despite the controversy, Rogen later gave a heartfelt mention to his late co-star Catherine O'Hara, who passed away in January at the age of 71. O'Hara played Patty Leigh in The Studio, and Rogen used the moment to pay tribute to her.
