Comedian SETH ROGEN was forced to cut a hardcore do drugs scene from his new movie PINEAPPLE EXPRESS - because the footage was deemed besides explicit for British viewers.
Rogen claims matchless scene, in which he is seen smoking a super-strong type of marijuana, had to be removed from the U.K. version after the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) members censored the footage - even though the scene was left in for the American release.
But Rogen admits he relented to the ruling because he cherished to batten down a lour certificate for the U.K. audience, allowing those 15 and over to see the motion-picture show - as opposed to the R rating, meaning it canful only be seen by over-17s, that it received in the U.S.
He says, "We had to remove stuff from the movie to get the rating that we needed. We're actually more creditworthy in the U.K. than we ar in the States.
"There's a scene in the movie when we sell (drugs) to high shoal kids - that's quiet in there I take over. But in the American version of the scene we likewise smoke mourning band with them and fall out.
"It's a really denotative scene of us acquiring high with these 11-year-olds. I think for the U.K. they've kind of softened it a flake."
He adds: "We had no moral obligation with this movie. I mean, it's an R-rated movie, you have to be 17 in orderliness to look it so we fig at that age you're an adult. I've been seeing R-rated movies since I was 12 days old and I'm OK! Not really."
