Jason Segel on Harrison Ford's Reaction to Nude Scene: ‘Great Dick'
How I Met Your Mother star Jason Segel recently shared an interesting story about his Shrinking co-star Harrison Ford, in which the veteran actor praised Segel after viewing his film Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Reacting to Segel's famous naked scene in the movie, Ford jokingly imparted a compliment to the comedian regarding his genitals, as revealed by Segel himself.
Here's everything you need to know about the hilarious moment between the two Hollywood stars.
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+.

Borderlands 4 stirs controversy amid price talk
Borderlands 4 may be 2025's most anticipated looter shooter title, so hopefully its studio, Gearbox, will try its best to remain tight-lipped for the next few months. A few weeks ago, when asked online about Borderlands 4 possibly being a US$80 title, chief executive officer Randy Pitchford said that: (a) it's 2K Games' call, not his, and (b) true fans will find a way to buy it if it came to that. That's a rather tone-deaf response, especially amid ongoing economic instability and upheaval in the games industry. What is perplexing is that Randy Pitchford gave a much better answer about pricing a month ago. We're not sure who handled Pitchford's Twitter account, or if the man himself truly forgot what he said a month earlier, but it is a bad look for him and Gearbox. This isn't the first controversy he has gone through. Online, you'll find longstanding allegations, including a story about him allegedly leaving a USB containing sexually explicit material at a Medieval Times restaurant, stories of him and his company siphoning money off Sega meant for an Aliens game (which went to Borderlands 2), and lying about the state of the game pre-launch, and the mishandling of Duke Nukem Forever. And his involvement in 2024's worst movie, the Borderlands live-action film adaptation. Even with the possible success of Borderlands 4, the internet truly never forgets. Which is why, more than ever, if Gearbox needs to truly succeed with its upcoming looter shooter at launch and beyond, publisher 2K Games must manage Pitchford's public presence more carefully. Short Beats The Nintendo Switch 2 will be out in Malaysia on July 3, 2025. The console will cost RM2,488. China's NetEase Games has announced a new triple-A, single-player action title called Blood Message. The game will be out for PC and consoles, though no release date or year has been announced. Despite controversy from its CEO, Gearbox Software's upcoming looter shooter title Borderlands 4 will not cost over US$80. FromSoftware has launched post-launch downloadable content for its roguelite action title Elden Ring: Nightreign. Longtime VR rhythm game Beat Saber will no longer receive new content and support on PlayStation VR and PlayStation VR2. Other versions of the title will still get support, though.

Many Americans are witnessing immigration arrests for the first time and reacting
SAN DIEGO — Adam Greenfield was home nursing a cold when his girlfriend raced in to tell him Immigration and Customs Enforcement vehicles were pulling up in their trendy San Diego neighborhood. The poet and podcast producer grabbed his iPhone and bolted out the door barefoot, joining a handful of neighbors recording masked agents raiding a popular Italian restaurant nearby, as they yelled at the officers to leave. An hour later, the crowd had grown to nearly 75 people, with many in front of the agents' vehicles.

'Jaws 'Actress Lorraine Gary Admits She Had a 'Mad Crush' on Costar Robert Shaw (Exclusive)
Lorraine Gary played Ellen Brody in the 1975 thriller Jaws In a new interview with PEOPLE for the film's 50th anniversary, the actress admits she had a "mad crush" on costar Robert Shaw Gary also remembers director Steven Spielberg having nerves while helming his first big filmEllen Brody may have been married to the police chief in Jaws, but in real life, she was much more interested in Quint. "I had a mad crush on Robert Shaw," Lorraine Gary, who played Ellen, tells PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. Shaw portrayed Quint, the hardened hunter tasked with taking down the shark terrorizing Amity Island in the 1975 thriller. "Now for me, he was more than a gorgeous actor," she continues. "He was a playwright, he was an intellectual, he was a lovely, lovely human being. And yes, that was thrilling." Shaw died in 1978 at the age of 51 of a heart attack, three years after the release of Jaws. "We only had three days together in the Vineyard, and that's when I began to know him," Gary recalls, referencing Matha's Vineyard, where the film was primarily shot. "But when we came back to California and the film was still shooting at Universal, we had dinner first at a restaurant with Robert." "My son Billy opened the door and let him in, and Robert said, 'Hello, poxy!' In other words, 'You've got chicken pox.' And [Billy] at the point had no fever, no spots, nothing. But having had so many kids, he recognized the symptoms of someone who was coming down with it." She adds, "He had, like, 12 children!" Gary, 88, retired from acting in 1979 after starring in Steven Spielberg's 1941. She reprised her role as Ellen once more for the final Jaws movie in 1987, Jaws: The Revenge. Jaws was the first Spielberg movie Gary starred in. Her husband, Sid Sheinberg, the head of Universal at the time, is credited with discovering the fledgling director. Gary recalls her husband first told her Universal was producing Jaws, and her agent put her up for the role with no audition. "Steven knew my work, and he liked my work and that was it," she says. Jaws was famously shot on-location in the Atlantic Ocean and went 100 days over schedule, causing Spielberg to think his career as a filmmaker was "over."

"Steven's a very human guy, and of course he was nervous," Gary says. "I'm sure he was scared that he'd be pulled from this first big movie, but he was confident in his own work. What he wasn't confident in was the building of the shark, until it finally worked several times after failing and working on the ocean, which was an enormous risk and caused a lot of the delay." The mechanical shark frequently malfunctioned in the water, delaying the production process. But Gary adds that her husband was confident the risk would pay off. "It was Sid that decided to spend the extra money to bet on Steven's talent. He knew this was going to be a very big movie, and it was Sid's idea to open huge in 400 theaters, which was generally not done," she shares. "And he's the man you can blame for the summer blockbusters! I blame him for that too. I don't like most of those other movies, but I did like Jaws."
