Over the years, “Superbad” has remained a cult classic amongst comedy fans for its outrageous storylines and the actors’ hilarious chemistry. However, in a new Vanity Fair interview celebrating the film’s 15th anniversary, Jonah Hill revealed that he didn’t care much for his co-star Christopher Mintz-Plasse. “Chris was really, really amazing off the bat,” he told the news outlet. “And I think he was really annoying at the time.”

In the same interview, co-writer Seth Rogan confirmed Hill’s comments: “Jonah immediately hated him. He was like, ‘That was f***ing with my rhythm. I couldn’t perform with that guy.'” Judd Apatow, who produced the film, added, “Jonah said, ‘I don’t like that guy. I don’t want him doing it.’ And I said, ‘That’s exactly why we’re hiring him. It couldn’t be more perfect. The fact that it bothers you is exactly what we want.'”
