Jason Segel shares that Harrison Ford praised his nude scene
During his recent discussion with Seth Rogen on Variety‘s latest iteration of its Actors on Actors segment, Jason Segel was questioned by his Knocked Up co-star about how he was able to recruit Harrison Ford in Apple TV+’s Shrinking series.
He remarked, “We got Harrison Ford because Harrison Ford is the kind of person you can make an offer to so that for three days you can say, ‘We made an offer to Harrison Ford,’ and then you’ll pick the real guy.” Jason Segel then noted, “He didn’t know anything about me so he asked, ‘Can I see some of his work?’ and they sent him—Brett Goldstein went and met with him and they had a really nice meeting—and then they sent him End of the Tour and Forgetting Sarah Marshall.”
After having witnessed Segel’s acting chops in the two films, Ford reached out to Bill Lawrence, the showrunner for Shrinking, to convey his thoughts about Segel. “And apparently, Bill Lawrence got a text that said, ‘I’m in, and tell the kid, great dick,'” Jason Segel disclosed. Rogen had a hilarious reaction to his long-time friend’s amusing anecdote about Ford, with The Studio co-creator noting, “[That’s] all you need,” accompanied by his signature belly laugh.
Featuring Jason Segel and Harrison Ford in the lead, Shrinking has spawned two seasons so far, with a confirmed third season yet to receive an official release date from Apple TV+.
