The whole world is locked into the women's gymnastics all-around finals at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

With Team USA's Simone Biles and Suni Lee, Brazil's Rebeca Andrade and more stars in action, high-profile personalities packed into Bercy Arena in France's capital to watch the main event.

The broadcast surveyed the crowd and identified several stars, from Martha Stewart, to several members of the United States men's basketball team, to former World Cup winner Zinedine Zidane, to NBC broadcasters Cris Collinsworth, Bob Costas and Al Michaels.

But there was one celebrity in particular who drew a priceless reaction from gymnastics announcer Laurie Hernandez that went viral on the internet: actor Seth Rogen.

Laurie Hernandez's reaction to Seth Rogen at women's gymnastics event goes viral

When the broadcast panned to Rogen, he looked — well, let's call it "locked in." 

Owner of the cannabis company "Houseplant," Rogen is not shy to admit his love for marijuana. Social media commenters noted that Rogen looked like he may have dipped into his stash before the event, and gymnastics announcer Hernandez could not contain her own laughter.

"Haha, no way," Hernandez began before she couldn't stop giggling. Her co-announcer asked, "What are you giggling about?" Hernandez took a moment, then replied, "He's just a ... funny guy."

The internet had a field day with Rogen's thousand-yard stare and Hernandez's reaction.
