Why is Seth Rogen's new movie 'Babies' so personal to him?

In Babies, a couple struggles to decide whether to become parents.

The pair's friend and her younger daughter temporarily move in, giving them a close-up of what it feels like to have a child.

Now, Seth Rogen, who stars asAaron, said his personal life somewhat mirrors the movie's plot because he and his wife, Lauren Miller Rogen, who directed and wrote the film, chose a child-free marriage.

"I think this movie is much more personal and much more reflective of my actual experiences," said the actor at TIFF.

He continued, “I think Lauren has really made a very honest film regarding her thought process and our thought process as a couple."

Comparing his character in the Babies and his personal life, Rogen remarked, "When I look at it, it’s shocking how personal it is, honestly, and about very personal things in our lives."

"But, to me, it’s very brave to put yourself out there like that and to write about the things that are kind of the most personal things," he added.

Currently, Babies is premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival. At the same time, the film is set to release in cinemas in 2027.
