Just before landing his element on Platonic, Hale had abided by the rule “never meet your heroes,” but Byrne and Rogen proved that aged adage completely wrong. “I was like, ‘Aw, gentleman, I’m booking a function with people today I definitely admire and idolize, and I really hope you are not the worst,’” he recalled. “And how reverse of that they have been.
