Judd Apatow is an accomplished multihyphenate with plenty of iconic TV and movie projects on his long resume. Many of them remain quotable to this day, despite how many years might have passed since their initial release. Case in point: Apatow revealed theKnocked Upbaby is 17 now… and I’ve never felt older.
Knocked Uphit theaters in 2007, and was a critical and box office hit.Knocked Up’s castwas lead by Katherine Heigl and Seth Rogen, with Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann playing supporting characters who would get their own spinoff withThis Is 40. The movie ended with protagonist Alison giving birth, and Apatow breaking the internet and blowing minds by revealing onInstagramthat said baby is now a whopping 17 years sold. Check it out:
突然我遭受背痛的urge to tell children to get off my lawn. And I don’t even have a lawn. It’s crazy how time flies, as made evident by the fact that theKnocked Upbaby is nearly old enough to vote. Does anyone else feel the need to re-watch that classic comedy?
Judd Apatow shared thisKnocked Upthrowback to his nearly 1 million followers on Instagram. And the comments section is filled with both fans and celebrities facing the shock of this revelation. That includes some of the movie’s cast including none other thanSeth Rogen himself (who previously reminisced about one scene that was “messed up”for the cast). Rogen’s comment was short and sweet, reading:
Oh no.
Same, though. Knowing just how much time has passed, I really am curious about how Alison and Ben’s lives ultimately played out after the events ofKnocked Out. Were they able to get their happy ever after as a couple, or did they decide to consciously uncouple and coparent together? Maybe answers will come withThis Is 50, which is a project Judd Apatow has had in development and would mark the third installment of the franchise.
Rogen wasn’t the onlyKnocked Upcast member who seemed shook by seeing jut how much time has passed. Actor Martin Starr, whose collaboration with Apatow dates back to being inthe castFreaks and Geeks, also commented a similar sentiment, saying:
Damn, I’m old.
Well at least we all feel the same. I have to wonder if Katherine Heigl will end up getting in on the fun; theGrey’s Anatomyalum had a had a storied history withKnocked Up.Heigl famously offered criticismabout the female characters of the movie, startinga beef between her and Seth Rogen.
We’ll have to see if theKnocked UpthreequelThis Is 50ever makes it to theaters. In the meantime, check out the2023 movie release datesto plan your next movie experience.
