Seth Rogen shuts down backlash over his decision to not have children

"I look at my friends with kids, and honestly I feel like some of them are incredibly happy and fulfilled, and some of them seem like maybe they wish they had put a little more thought into it. I just didn't want to be one of those people," he continued. 

"The most disturbing comment that I saw a lot of was 'Who's going to take care of you when you're old?' Which to me is very telling. Is that why you're having kids? Because I have two things to say: One, that's very selfish to create a human so someone can take care of you. And two, just because you have a kid, I hate to break it to you, that doesn't mean they're going to do that."

This isn't the first time the filmmaker and businessman has disclosed his reasons for not wanting to become a dad. 

"We are smarter than we've ever been, we understand ourselves more than we ever have, we have the capacity to achieve a level of work and a level of communication and care for one another, and a lifestyle we can live with one another, that we've never been able to live before," he concluded.
