Do you know that scene where Jason Segel is naked and gets dumped by his girlfriend in Forgetting Sarah Marshall? Well, that really happened to Jason Segel.
Segel sat down with Conan O’Brien for his podcast Conan Needs a Friend and told him the real story.
The Shrinking star was dating someone, and things were going really well. But she wound up going away for a while. So when she got back, she asked if she could stop by his place.
Well, Segel thought he was going to get laid, so he got naked and posed for her. When she walked in, she told him that they needed to talk. And we all know what that means.
So he sat there naked on his couch as she was dumping him. And he is thinking this would be a great story for a movie. And it is!
That was not the only thing he was thinking. He also thought he needed to put on some clothes. So he went into his bedroom and spent the next 25 minutes trying on different outfits before settling on a button-up blue shirt and khaki pants. Why? Because he was then able to tell her, “I am wearing your favorite outfit.”
As brilliant as that scene would’ve been, it was cut for time.
Now that you know Segel’s worst breakup story, what is yours?
