Jason Segel's dick is having a big week in the press

People did see his dick, though, including none other than Indiana freakin’ Jones. In his Variety Actors on Actors interview with longtime pal Rogen, Segel said they reached out to Harrison Ford about a role in Shrinking “because Harrison Ford is the kind of person you make an offer to so that for three days you can say, ‘We’ve made an offer to Harrison Ford,’ and then you’ll pick the real guy.” Surprisingly for the Shrinking team, Ford was interested, but he didn’t know anything about Jason Segel. “[So] he said ‘Can I see some of his work?’ [Shrinking co-creator] Brett Goldstein met with him, and they had a really nice meeting, and they sent him End Of The Tour and Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Then, apparently, [Shrinking co-creator] Bill Lawrence got a text that said, ‘I’m in. And tell the kid, great dick.'”

Either it was a good thing that Segel ignored Bell’s advice about hiding his penis, or it was a good thing he listened to her advice to present his penis the right way—whatever the case, the penis made an impression. The ripple effect of something Jason Segel did earlier in his career coming full circle to help his work today is a throughline of both interviews (as is his dick). With Rogen, Segel reflected, “All those improv skills that we learned for comedy and got pretty damn good at turned out to really apply to dramatic scenes also.” With Bell, he noted more generally that he “was sure my 20s were my prime,” and that afterwards his prime had passed. “But what I have found, and I certainly see it for [Bell], is that that was rehearsal for your prime. That was prime without the depth of experience, without the depth of making it through some shit and coming out the other side,” he said. “Now I’m in my 40s, doing these scenes on Shrinking that I couldn’t have done in my 20s.” Thanks to Forgetting Sarah Marshall‘s nude scene for paving the way!
