Michael Cera Reveals How He Felt After Rihanna Slapped Him Across The Face

Michael Cera did not regret Rihanna landing a slap across his face in the 2013 comedy This Is the End.

In an interview with Rolling Stone published Friday, Cera described his feelings in the wake of a scene in which he smacks Rihannas butt at a party and then the Diamonds singer slaps him back.

Cera, who asked permission to do his slap according to co-director Evan Goldberg , said he thought Rihannas move in return would look a lot better if she hit him, as takes werent working out for the scene.

I dont think it took much convincing to get her to do it, Cera told Rolling Stone. I just thought it would look a lot better than a fake slap would because you can really feel it. It just looks a lot funnier!

I definitely did not regret it! I was into it, he said.

The Scott Pilgrim vs. the World star added that the Fenty fashion and beauty founders slap, however, was no work of fiction.

The take that is in the movie, she really did hit my ear, which was disorienting, he said. But I have no regrets. I didnt lose any hearing over it, fortunately!
