Who says Indiana Jones is afraid of snakes?
On Thursday, Selection revealed a dialog between mates and longtime collaborators Seth Rogen and Jason Segel — and in it, Rogen asks his former “Freaks and Geeks” co-star how he managed to snag Harrison Ford for his present, “Shrinking.” Segel co-stars within the Apple TV+ sequence that he co-created with Brett Goldstein (of “Ted Lasso” fame) and Invoice Lawrence.
Segel admitted to Rogen that Ford had no concept who he was, and he needed to get Goldstein and Lawrence concerned to assist sway “The Fugitive” star to simply accept the position as Dr. Paul Rhoades, a senior therapist and colleague of Segel’s character.

“He read [the script], and he didn’t know anything about me,” Segel defined. “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.’”
The latter of those two films has a really memorable scene by which Segel absolutely exposes his little Jason — and it appears that evidently Ford was impressed.
“Then, apparently, Bill Lawrence got a text [from Ford] that said, ‘I’m in. And tell the kid, great dick.’”
“Even if he was out, that would be great. I would take that,” Rogen joked in response, and Segel shortly modified the topic.
Though the anecdote is fairly humorous, it’s arduous to imagine that Rogen didn’t arrange his buddy to brag about his junk.
Final yr, Stephen Colbert requested Ford a couple of headline that claimed that he had no concept who Segel was earlier than signing on to “Shrinking.”
“Not true,” Ford mentioned, explaining he’d watched “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” earlier than agreeing to do the present.
“And the producer asked me what I thought [of the movie] and I said, ‘Nice penis.’”
