Danny Boyle and Aaron Sorkin’s much-ballyhooed Steve Jobs biopic is about to get a wide release and, to mark the occasion, Seth Rogen — who stars as Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak — sat down with GQ to talk about the film. In the interview, Rogen talks about his initial reservations regarding the role, his conflicted feelings about biopics in general and how he got to know Wozniak. An excerpt of the piece appears below while the interview can be read in its entirety over at GQ‘s website.
Steve Jobs opens October 23.
How much did you know about Steve Wozniak before you started?
Almost nothing. I’d seen him on that Kathy Griffin reality show. I can’t honestly tell you that I knew there was a cofounder of Apple. I think I thought it was just Steve Jobs.
Were you more anxious about Wozniak’s approval, or the audience’s?
I think first and foremost I was anxious about Danny and Aaron’s approval. Honestly I didn’t even think about whether Wozniak would like it or approve of it. I met with him a bunch of times and I talked with him a lot, but in my head those were all tools to make Danny happy. Not tools to make Wozniak happy. Danny is my boss. I told Danny I’d picked up on some little things Woz does, but I would’ve been totally happy doing absolutely nothing like Woz if that’s what Danny wanted.
What’s one Wozni-ism that you picked up?
He has a very specific way of hand-talking. Whenever he’s talking about a thing, you can tell he’s imagining building it. With his hands.
