Seth Rogen is relieved his promotional duties for animated film Monsters Vs. Aliens are over - because he no longer has to hide his hatred of children.

The 26-year-old comedian cringes at the thought of having his own kids, and admits he wasn't impressed when his adult fans started bringing their tots to his movie screenings and meet-and-greets - because he can't relate to them.

The new movie debuted atop the U.S. box office last weekend with earnings of $59.3 million, and Rogen is breathing a sigh of relief - because he can finally declare his disdain for youngsters. He muses, "Kids like me but when they meet me they're horrified by me... These guys bring their kids (to screenings) and I kind of resent them. To me it's kind of a sacrilegious thing and the kid would cry. It was horrible..."

"Now that the movie's out and I don't have to promote it anymore, I can say that I hate children. It's out; it's made $60 million. I can say it: I hate kids. If no kid ever came up to me, I would be more than happy."
