A:
Emma Watson walked off the set during a scene involving Danny McBride as a cannibal and Channing Tatum as his gimp.

Q:How did they manage to shoot 'This Is the End' with so many celebrities?
A:
The film’s directors, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, utilized a unique filming strategy by scheduling shoots around the availability of their celebrity friends. This flexible shooting schedule allowed many cameo appearances, including Rihanna and Michael Cera, to be filmed in just one or two days when each star was available.

A:
Michael Cera getting slapped by Rihanna in 'This Is the End' was unscripted and happened in real-time. Rihanna's reaction was genuine and unplanned, making the scene unexpectedly realistic. This spontaneity was encouraged by directors to add authenticity to the chaotic party scene.
