Jason Segel Reveals Reason He Left Hollywood After ‘How I Met Your Mother’ in 2014
Harrison Ford knows a valuable artifact when he sees one.
And that’s why the Indiana Jones alum had no problem giving Jason Segel some unique feedback after watching his film Forgetting Sarah Marshall—where he goes full frontal—just before he signed on to join the cast of Shrinking.
“He didn’t know anything about me,” Segel explained in a June 5 Variety interview with Seth Rogen. “They sent him The End of the Tour and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”
After doing his homework, Ford was game to play therapist Dr. Paul Rhoades, and sent Shrinking’s producer a compliment to pass on to Segel, as he recalled, “Apparently, Bill Lawrence got a text that said, ‘I’m in. And tell the kid, great d–k.'”
Naturally, longtime pal Rogen was floored by the praise.
“Even if he was out, that would be great,” he added. “I would take that.”
The scene in the 2008 comedy sees Segel standing fully naked in the middle of the room as his girlfriend, played by Kristen Bell, initiates a breakup, setting the film’s central plot into motion. And while full frontal is a bold choice, Segal had previously shared he was the one who added that detail.
