Harrison Ford once complimented his ‘Shrinking' co-star Jason Segel on his ‘great d–k'
It belongs in a museum! Harrison Ford once complimented Jason Segel on his 'great d–k' after watching the 45-year-old actor go full frontal in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.' Segel recalled the 'Indiana Jones' star's surprising words during Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series with Seth Rogen published on Thursday, June 5. 7 Harrison Ford once complimented Jason Segel's 'great d–k' after watching the younger actor go full frontal in 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.' AFP via Getty Images 7 Segel recalled Ford's surprising words during a recent episode of Variety's 'Actors on Actors' series with Seth Rogen. Peggy Sirota for Variety He began by explaining how the producers of 'Shrinking,' Brett Goldstein and Bill Lawrence, convinced Ford, 82, to sign on to the popular Apple TV+ series. 'We got Harrison Ford 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,' Segel said on Thursday. 'He read it, and he didn't know anything about me,' the 'How I Met Your Mother' star continued. 'Brett Goldstein met with him, and they had a really nice meeting, and they sent him 'The End of the Tour' and 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall.'' 7 Segel began by telling Rogen how the producers of 'Shrinking' convinced Ford to sign on to the Apple TV+ show. Peggy Sirota for Variety 'Then,' he added, 'Bill Lawrence got a text that said, 'I'm in. And tell the kid, great d–k.'' Rogen, 43, couldn't get over the fact that Ford once complimented Segel's manhood. 'Even if he was out, that would be great,' the 'Studio' star joked. 'I would take that.' 7 Ford and Segel as the therapists Paul Rhoades and Jimmy Laird in Season 2 of 'Shrinking.' Apple TV+ The full-frontal scene in question occurs in the 2008 comedy when Segel's character, Peter Bretter, stands fully naked as his girlfriend, Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell), breaks up with him. Segel previously opened up about the surprising scene in 2015 and revealed that he was the one who came up with the idea. 'I thought that was hilarious,' he told Vulture at the time. 'I was actually not very uncomfortable doing it. I really felt free.' 7 'I'm in,' Segel recalled Ford saying. 'And tell the kid, great d–k.' ©Apple TV/Courtesy Everett Collection 'You have to put it in the context that this was 2006, 2007, and this hadn't been done before, in my recollection,' Segel added, 'where the main guy was going to be naked in the first five minutes of the movie.' Even more surprising was Segel's admission that the full frontal idea was inspired by a similar incident that had actually happened to him in real life years before. 'She arrived at the house and I had decided that the way to really kick off this sex was that I was waiting on the couch totally naked, like posed,' he told Conan O'Brien during an episode of the comedian's podcast in 2023. 7 Ford and Segel seen at 'Shrinking' FYC Event at The Think Apple TV+ Emmy House on May 18, 2025, in Los Angeles Apple TV+ via Getty Images 'So she walked in and there I am laying,' he continued, 'and I said, 'I've got a surprise for you,' and then she said, 'We need to talk.'' One person who didn't enjoy Segel's nude scene was his mother, who was blindsided when she watched it at the movie premiere. 'She said, 'Why didn't you tell me?'' the recalled last year. 'I said, 'I thought it would be a funny joke.' She said, 'This is not a funny joke.'' 7 This wouldn't be the first time that the 'Indiana Jones' star complimented his 'Shrinking' co-star's manhood. Getty Images As for 'Shrinking,' the series stars Segel and Ford as therapists Jimmy Laird and Paul Rhoades, respectively. The show, which premiered in January 2023 and concluded its second season in December, follows Segel's character in the wake of his wife's death. It also follows Ford's character as he battles Parkinson's disease. 'There's no intention to make it into a joke,' Ford said of his character's startling diagnosis during an interview late last year. 'But there are people that absorb these kinds of experiences with grace and courage and a little bit of wisdom,' he added. 'And that is not to say that some people do not.'

Watch: Natasha Lyonne & Hannah Einbinder joke about scissoring & talk realistic queer sex scenes
Gay fave Natasha Lyonne and bisexual Hacks actress Hannah Einbinder just made the Hollywood Reporter's latest actor's roundtable delightfully queer with a hilarious scissoring joke, and just in time for Pride Month, too! Lyonne and Einbinder joined fellow stars Kathryn Hahn (Agatha All Along), Jessica Williams (Shrinking), Kristen Bell (The Good Place), and Michelle Williams (Dying for Sex) to talk about their careers and personal lives when the conversation veered toward LGBTQ+ representation in media. When asked what the actors have pushed for 'because it was something you needed to see at some point in your life,' Einbinder chimed in about her own experience being a bi actor after calling Lyonne her 'freaking queer icon.' Einbinder, who plays Ava Daniels on Hacks, credited the show with giving 'vivid life and a reality' to the bisexual character. 'We know that when people write to their own experience, something is just far more lived-in,' Einbinder said. 'And as a queer actor myself playing a queer character, I can add my, you know, zest. So, this season, there's a polyamory arc that is not the butt of a joke.' See on Instagram She said that there were queer shows and movie that paved the way for Hacks, but she's proud of the realistic representation the show provides. 'It warms my heart when I get messages from people who feel like this is an in-depth and non-fetishized representation of bisexuality,' Einbinder revealed. Then, Lyonne asked, 'Do you feel like this kind of a queer component is something that you've slowly laid in track for, or was it always embedded?' 'Oh, it's always been there. A lot of our writers room are writing to their own experiences. Everyone who's telling a story has an incredibly talented comedy writer to represent that lived experience,' Einbinder answered. The 30-year-old actress explained because of her own lived experience as a queer person she's able to point out places in the script that seem realistic. 'And it's this great symbiosis where, because I live a queer existence, I'm able to lend various [ideas], like, 'Well, I don't know if they would be, like, coming at the same time in the shower. Perhaps, like, one person is topping.'' Not one to let a good joke pass her by, while Einbinder said 'one person is topping,' the But I'm a Cheerleader star made the universal hand gesture for scissoring by making peace signs with both hands and then sliding them together. Trust Lyonne to always make the perfect sapphic joke!
