Imagine this: Tim Cook, the man who allegedly holds the keys to Apple’s empire, swapped boardrooms for a Hollywood set. Yes, Apple (rather audaciously) thought it could toss Tim into the colorful chaos of Seth Rogen’s new show, *The Studio*. Seth, being the real boss of shenanigans, straight-up declined.
In an interview with Business Insider, he revealed, ‘They asked if we could use Tim Cook instead, and we said no.’ Ouch. That’s like being the kid who brings a lifetime supply of candy to a party and still gets told they can’t join the fun. Rogen had his reasons, and honestly, who can blame him?
Besides, we did get to see Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos appear as himself, which is like watching your accountant suddenly become a movie star in an indie hit. Tim Cook might be *Severance* material now, but it seems he’ll have to keep his acting aspirations on the back burner for the moment.
So here’s the takeaway: even titan CEOs can’t waltz into any role they fancy—Hollywood’s got its own rules. Would Tim have dazzled us in *The Studio*? Or perhaps he’d just check his iPhone every five seconds?
