Jason Segel recently revealed in an interview that his mother, Jillian Jordan, was upset by his full-frontal n^dty scene in the movie Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
Segel shared with Vanity Fair that his mom was caught off guard by the scene.
The actor, aged 34, recounted how his mother had an emotional reaction upon seeing the explicit moment in the 2008 comedy film.
“She cried,” Segel remembered.
Following the initial shock, his mother took action by sending out a mass email to their relatives to prepare them for what they would see.
In the email, she informed them that Jason's n^dty was integral to the storyline and not gratuitous.
With his upcoming movie, s=x Tape, where he stars alongside Cameron Diaz, Segel may need to brace his mother for more intimate scenes.
Diaz jokingly mentioned in an interview with the New York Times that they have become quite comfortable with each other after filming their scenes.
Segel elaborated on the approach he and Diaz took to filming such scenes, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing humor and creating genuine comedic moments.
He highlighted that their shared mindset helped them navigate potentially awkward situations during filming.
Reflecting on his decision to include a full-frontal n^dty scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Segel explained his intention to keep the audience engaged by introducing an element of unpredictability into the romantic comedy genre.
He believed that breaking away from typical conventions would enhance the viewing experience for the audience.
