VIDEO: Seth Rogen Was Told His Best Friend Had Cancer While on the Toilet

In the upcoming dramedy 50/50, 27-year-old Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) finds out he has a cancerous tumor growing in his back, and proceeds to tell his best friend Kyle (Seth Rogen) outside a coffee shop. If only it happened like that in reality. 50/50 is based on the life of screenwriter Will Reiser, and when he called Rogen, his best friend, to tell him the bad news, the Knocked Up star was in a compromising situation: mid-poop. Click through to watch Rogen explain.

So much hilarity there, especially that the awesome David Krumholtz ("Dave") gets a mention. Starring Gordon-Levitt, Rogen, Anna Kendrick and Angelica Huston, 50/50 is out in theaters on Sept. 30.
