James Franco has already apologized for flirting with Scottish tourist Lucy Clode via Instagram and text messages, but what does his This Is the End co-star Seth Rogen think about the whole ordeal?

E! News caught up exclusively with the 31-year-old actor at the Hilarity Charity on Tuesday evening in New York City.

"I have no idea actually," the funnyman admitted when asked if Franco's Instagram proposition with the 17-year-old was real or fake. "I am afraid to ask!" the Neighbors actor said with a big chuckle.

The 35-year-old actor tried to initiate a hotel hookup with the teenager, and during a Friday appearance on Live! With Kelly and Michael, Franco nervously addressed the scandal directly.

"I didn't want to come on the show and...feel awkward, so uh, yeah. I mean I guess, you know, I'm embarrassed, and I guess I'm just a model of, you know, how social media is tricky," the Broadway star admitted to Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan. "It's a way people meet each other today. But what I've learned, I guess, just because I'm new to it is, like, you don't know who's on the other end. You meet somebody in person and you get a feel for them, but you don't know who you're talking to, and, you know? So I used bad judgment. I learned my lesson."

Serious stuff aside, are any more Kim Kardashian and Kanye West spoofs in the works?

"No, I don't think so," Rogen said about his highly entertaining collaborations with Franco. "You have to end it sometime!"

He continued, "We made a whole movie that we starred in together that comes out in October called The Interview. So, if you like me and James Franco, you get a lot more coming your way."

Well, we are also waiting for the next Franco and Rogen Kimye parody.
