Eminem has finally revealed the reason why he had to stop filming a scene for The Interview.

His interview with Sway Calloway on his radio show, Sway in the Morning, where he admitted he had to constantly pause filming due to James Franco, has resurfaced again.

The 52-year-old rapper, known for using offensive slurs in his songs, had a cameo in the 2014 film, where he played himself.

In the movie, he was questioned about this along with fake lyrics for a new album, which led the fictional Eminem to disclose his sexuality.

While reflecting on the scene, the Oscar winning songwriter shared that he had to stop filming because the 46-year-old actor wouldn't stop making him laugh. 

"I have to tell you, James Franco was so f***ing funny," he shared on the radio show, where they discussed the scene. 

"There were a few takes where we had to stop, because I couldn't stop laughing," he revealed. 

The Houdini hit-maker further confessed he couldn’t keep up with the Why Him? actor’s energy, stating, "He was so animated and I was like, I want to be the funny one here."

"And he was killing it."
