Seth Rogen has celebrated Superbad‘s McLovin on the character’s 40th birthday, according to the fake ID.

Rogen, who co-wrote Superbad as well as appeared in the film, took to Twitter yesterday (June 3) to share the milestone event. He wrote: “Happy 40th birthday McLovin. (We wrote this joke when we were 14 years old).”

Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who portrayed McLovin in the 2007 movie, addressed the news on Instagram Stories: “My character turns 40 today and it’s insane to me that it’s a huge deal.”

Rogen co-wrote the character, whose fake birthday is June 3, 1981, with longstanding collaborator Evan Goldberg.

Speaking with The Ringer in 2017, Goldberg said on creating Superbad: “[We were watching] some dog-shit movie and we were just like, ‘We could fucking write a better fucking movie than this.’”

He continued: “And 30 minutes later, we were pretty bored, and said, ‘WeĀ shouldĀ write a better movie than this.’ So we went upstairs to my parents’ desk area and just started writing a script.”

Mintz-Plasse recalled recently that his mother had to watch him perform his sex scene in the film because he was underage at the time.

ā€œI was very nervous, very scared, and then I look over to Video Village [the nickname given to the area around the monitor on set] and my mum is eating a handful of popcorn talking to the producers,ā€ the 31-year-old actor toldĀ The Rich Eisen Show.

Superbad was released to critical acclaim and took more than $170million (approximately £120million) in box office revenue.







Since then, Mintz-Plasse has gone on to appear in Kick-Ass andĀ Bad Neighbours. Most recently, he appeared in Emerald Fennell’s Oscar-winner Promising Young Woman.

Rogen announced recently that he will be producing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot for Nickelodeon.

He will also be starring in the mini-series Pam & Tommy. The show is about the whirlwind romance between Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, and co-stars Lily James and Sebastian Stan.
