When Maude Apatow was growing up, things were a little different in her childhood home.

While appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, April 9, the Euphoria star, 28, spoke with Jimmy Kimmel about what life was like for her growing up with her parents Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann.

“Was your house filled with Uncle Seth Rogen teaching you how to smoke out of a Barbie or anything like that?” Kimmel, 58, joked, referring to Judd’s frequent collaborator.

“Yeah. I mean, yeah. Kind of. But my dad doesn’t smoke weed. He’s not chill like that,” Maude said.

Kimmel went on to ask if people assume that Judd smokes weed.

“People really assume that he does and my whole childhood he would be sent… like gifted an enormous amount of weed. So I always assumed he did but didn’t want to ask,” Maude explained. “And those times it was… it was still very taboo for me.”

“So as like a 6-year-old, I saw these cases of weed being delivered to my house and I’m like, ‘Oh my God. Something is wrong with my dad.’ This is bad,” she joked.

Mann, 54, and Judd, 58, are parents to Maude and daughter Iris, 23.

In November 2025, Mann and Judd spoke with PEOPLE about how proud they are of their older daughter as Maude received the Max Mara Face of the Future Award at the 2025 WIF (Women in Film) Honors.

“We just follow her lead. We trust her instincts,” Leslie said of her reaction to Maude’s decision to take on her role in Euphoria. “She’s a smart person, and honestly, we just follow her dreams.”

Maude recently stepped behind the camera to make her directorial debut with the coming-of-age film Poetic License, which stars Mann.

Recalling her experience shooting the film last year with her daughter in the director’s chair, Mann told PEOPLE she wishes they “could go back and relive the whole thing.”

“It was such a great experience. And to be able to spend every day with my daughter, being forced to talk to me all day long was so great,” she said.

“She’s one of my favorite people, if not my favorite person,” Mann added of Maude, before joking, “Sorry, Judd and Iris.”
