Most men would jump at the chance to kick around a football with David Beckham.
But if Seth Rogen were to hang with the sports legend, soccer would not be on the agenda.
'I would like to smoke a joint with David Beckham,' the 32-year-old said in the May issue of FHM UK. 'That would be cool.'

The Vancouver native made the comment after admitting he won't pay attention to next month's World Cup.
'I follow the outcome of no sporting events on the planet,' he said. 'I wouldn’t even care if there was a Canadian soccer team, honestly.'
Instead, the actor spends his time working and lighting up a joint.
'I pretty much smoke weed every day,' he said. 'I work a ton, probably much more than anyone would like to think I do. But I do also smoke weed, which I don’t think stops me from working a lot.'

The Superbad star claims smoking marijuana is not as taboo in Canada as it is in the United States.
'Where I’m from, it’s not taboo at all. To me it’s like asking somebody if they have a beer at the end of the day or something. It’s no big deal.
'The laws are ludicrous in America, too. You can unknowingly cross the border in some places and buy weed legally for recreational use, then in others you can go to f**king jail for 20 years for having the same amount of weed on you,' he added.

Seth is currently promoting his new film Bad Neighbours, in which he plays a married man who runs into problems when a hard-partying young man, played by Zac Efron, moves in next door.
'I’m getting older,' he said. 'When we were making Bad Neighbours I was like, "Jesus, I’m not the youngest guy on set any more." I had been for years, but Zac Efron made me feel old. Old and fat.'
Seth also opened up about being typecast as the 'ugly' actor in his earlier films.
'I didn’t suddenly start trying to play a leading man,' he said. 'More than anything, I’m shocked by how comfortable the whole world was with calling me ugly for the beginning of my career. But I think people have gotten used to the way I look, so it just doesn’t seem so crazy for me to be playing those kind of roles any more. It’s a lot easier to get away with now.'

Seth said all his life he dreamed of becoming a comedic actor.
'For as long as I can remember, I always liked making people laugh and from a very young age, I hoped I’d end up as a comedy actor. I didn’t know by any means it’d work out, but it was definitely my goal. I had no real back-up plan at all. I spent most of school skipping class, getting stoned.'
He said he realised he could make it big when his 2007 film Knocked Up was a surprise hit.
'Knocked Up coming out was a big moment,' Seth said. 'And to see that a movie was sold with my face on the billboard, and then it did well, was shocking to me. I remember seeing the billboard and thinking, "That’s not a good idea", but it actually worked out. I think that was the first time I really thought I would actually become a successful actor.'
