On Monday’s epsiode of The Late ShowSeth Rogen and Stephen Colbert both sent direct messages to Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter.

The Late Show host and Rogen bonded over the fact that U.S. President Donald Trump’s son follows both of them on Twitter.

“What’s amazing about social media is if someone follows you on Twitter and you follow them, you can communicate directly with them through direct messaging,” the Canadian-American actor explained. “If you’re both on Twitter and you follow each other, you can open up a private conversation, as it were, and I found out that Donald Trump Jr. followed me.”

Rogen continued: “I then followed him to try and open a line of communication with the son of the president of the United States, which is a pretty cool thing to do.”

The Pineapple Express actor first attempted to reach out to Trump Jr. in February, tweeting at him directly in his main feed.

Colbert revealed that Trump Jr. also follows him on Twitter. The two decided to “double team his ass” and send him two more direct messages while on set.

Colbert sent the first message which read, “Sup? Hanging with @SethRogen. Why don’t you return his DMs? How about we all chill together and burn one. Don’t tell @HeyJamesFranco.”

Before Rogen sent another direct message to Trump Jr., he revealed that he actually sent a third message “late one night,” where he sounded like he was “creeping on him like someone who’s blocking me on Tinder.”

Rogen’s third message started with, “Hey man, don’t mean to come across like a weirdo or anything …”

Trump Jr. has yet to reply to any of the direct messages or tweets but Rogen is hopeful. “If that doesn’t work what will?” he said to Colbert.

Rogen, who was born in Vancouver, went on to talk about how “sexy” Canada’s looking these days. He said he hasn’t been tempted to go back to Canada, as many Trump supporters often suggest he should.

“But right now, Canada’s looking pretty sexy,” he told Colbert.
