Jason Segel Reveals: ‘My Mom Cried’ When She Saw Full-Frontal Nudity Scene
Jason Segel has upset his mom, and even though he didn’t mean to, he also caused her to send out a mass warning email about his full frontal nudity scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
As Segel revealed to Vanity Fair, the main reason for mom’s upset was the fact that she didn’t have a clue that it was coming. When she saw it she apparently rushed to her computer and sent emails out to family members and friends warning them about the scene:
“I would like to inform you all that Jason has chosen to do full-frontal nudity. However, it is not gratuitous and is essential to the plot,” she wrote.
But now Jason Segel’s mom will need to ready herself once again for her son’s upcoming movie, Sex Tape, which co-stars the lovely Cameron Diaz. They both spoke to the New York Times in May about the intimate scenes they perform in the comedy: “Oh, after this movie, we are real comfortable,” joked Diaz.
Segel also agreed that scenes of such an intimate nature in movies are indeed a little awkward; he said:
To do something like this has the potential to be very awkward. But we share a mentality that, when it comes to comedy, the bottom line is it being as funny as it can possibly be, and that involves being pride free. That could have been awkward with a different partnership. But we laughed so much more than we cringed
And while on the subject of nudity and full-frontals, Jason Segel went on to try and explain the reasons why he needed to do yet another full-frontal in the romantic comedy Sarah Marshall:
“One of the pitfalls of a romantic comedy is that you know how it’s going to end. The guy and the girl on the poster are going to end up together. I felt like if the main guy showed his [penis], you’re forced to sit back and say, I have no idea what’s going to happen in this movie,” he said.
These days nudity scenes are part and parcel of the job for most Hollywood celebrities, so why should a much-loved hunk like Jason Segel be any different? Do you agree? Feel free to share in the comments feed below.
