Seth Rogen spotted in Kennebunkport, Maine restaurant over Memorial Day weekend
KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — You can add Hollywood actor and director Seth Rogen to the list of celebrities who have traveled to Kennebunkport to enjoy the restaurants and shops the community has to offer.
Rogen, 43, dined at Mabel's Lobster Claw on Ocean Avenue over the holiday weekend, according to a recent Instagram post by the restaurant.
'We had a special visitor at Mabel's Lobster Claw yesterday,' the restaurant wrote, alongside a photo showing Rogen and three others. 'Thank you for joining us, Seth Rogen — we hope you enjoyed your meal and your time in Kennebunkport!'
The owner of Mabel's Lobster Claw could not be reached for comment.
Known for his laugh and for a comedic style, Rogen first appeared on the scene as Ken Miller, a sarcastic and disaffected teenager on 'Freaks and Geeks,' a dramedy on television at the turn of the century. Since then, he has had box office successes on film, from such comedies as 'Knocked Up' and 'Neighbors' to such acclaimed dramas as 'Steve Jobs' and 'The Fabelmans,' directed by Steven Spielberg.
Currently, Rogen is getting noticed for directing and starring in 'The Studio,' a comedic look at Hollywood whose debut season is now streaming on Apple TV+.

Other celebrities known to visit Kennebunkport include Taylor Swift, who dined at Alisson's Restaurant while shooting a music video more than a dozen years ago, and two-time Oscar-winning actor Sean Penn, who once stopped at Coastal Jewelers in Dock Square, according to the owners of both local businesses.
Last June, singer Lady Gaga visited an ice cream parlor in York while attending her sister's local wedding. In August, boxing champion Mike Tyson stopped by a cannabis shop in Eliot. Also, last September, Academy Award-winning actor Matt Damon visited a juice bar in Kittery.
And then there was one celebrity last summer who had a prolonged stay in southern Maine: award-winning actress Kathleen Turner, who had a role in 'A Little Night Music' at the Ogunquit Playhouse in July and early August.
