The Pineapple Express funnyman, whose screen characters often smoke drugs, tweeted about getting “baked” with cinema-goers in Denver, Colorado, before watching the action-comedy together.

Colorado has legalised marijuana, but recreational use of the drug in public places is banned, so the cinema would have to be private with a crowd aged 21 and over.

Seth and James Franco star in The Interview as journalists who travel to North Korea to interview – and assassinate – leader Kim Jong-un.

The film will be released on Christmas Day in the US.
