Jason Segel: MSN exclusive interview and podcast

The meteoric rise of Jason Segel has progressed to the giddy heights of the MSN UK headquarters in London. Lucky guy! He dropped in to talk about The Five-Year Engagement.


It was a pleasure to talk to Jason and he was every bit as nice as you'd hope. He's a thoughtful guy and far brighter than the nice-but-simple characters he plays in The Five-Year Engagement and comedies like Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Having written and starred in The Muppets, a massive project, he seems really involved at every level of his projects and has a writer credit on The Five Year Engagement which, by the way, will have you smiling all the way. "An old-time proper date movie," is a perfect description.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL! We always aim to get the fans involved when we have famous types in our gaff, and we grabbed another few minutes of Jason's time to ask him YOUR questions, which poured in via Twitter. MSN Entertainment Editor Kerri-Ann Roper leads the fan questioning in our Podcast, in which Jason claims "David Beckham has stolen my body" and we find out what he was best at in school. Take a listen!

Jason Segel answers YOUR questions in our podcast


Random interview observation: Jason Segel is very large. 6'3 plus. But everything about him is absolutely in proportion. Big hands, big face, big ears... it's like a normal-sized person was inflated.
