Seth Rogen said Beyoncé got a standing ovation 'for just existing' at the 'Lion King' premiere

Imagine getting a standing ovation just for being you. Well, if you're Beyoncé, that's par for the course, as Seth Rogen learned. 

Attending the premiere of Disney's The Lion King — in which Rogen stars as Pumbaa — Rogen realised just how popular Beyoncé, who plays Nala, is.  

"Beyoncé was called out and the audience stood up and went crazy and I was like, she's getting a standing ovation for just existing," Rogen told Jimmy Kimmel. 

"Her mere presence was a reason to stand and go crazy and I totally got it, i was like, yeah we should be celebrating, we made it, we're all in a room with Beyoncé," he added.

None of this is remotely surprising tbh.
