They reunited two years later for the sequel, which was released in 2016, creating more magic.
Byrne confirmed in an interview withPeoplethat she’s cultivated a sweet and endearing friendship with Rogen over the years.
The actor clarified, “We’re far more kind with one another.
We’re from the Commonwealth!
He’s Canadian; I’m Australian.
We don’t have that front-footedness that the characters necessarily have.”
As she told People, “I knew that it had to be Seth [to play Will].
The show sees Byrne as lawyerturnedhousewife Sylvia, who’s married to Charlie (Luke Macfarlane).
Soon, their closeness begins to irritate Charlie.
Thankfully, it wasn’t too much of a struggle finding their footing.
“The dynamic is just intuitive.
And we realized that day one, like, ‘Oh, yeah, all right.
We can do these things, but we can’t do these things.’
It was an opportunity to discover different ways to find the comedy,” Byrne explained.
We were able to be meaner to each other, which was interesting.”
Just like their on-screen relationship, Byrne and Rogen believe that men and women can have platonic friendships.
