Is anyone else considering going to see I Love You Man this weekend? I’m thinking about it, because these hilarious Paul Rudd and Jason Segel interviews keep coming out. I want Paul Rudd to be my fey, dancing man friend. And I want to date Jason Segel and his forty puppets. The movie’s getting pretty solid reviews, and it has great buzz, so it will probably be the box office victor this weekend.

Anyway, Jason Segel gave another funny, charming, creepy, amazing interview to this site, Inquirer.net. It’s a site for that caters to news for people in and from the Philippines. I have no idea why Jason Segel gave them an interview – perhaps he’s huge in the Asian markets. Perhaps they like frontal male nudity? Segel gives away some really funny gems, like saying that people have told him he’s like a more attractive version of Brad Pitt. Basically, Jason Segel seems like the kind of guy I would try to pick up at a br. The interview is really long, but here are some of the highlights:

Q: You seem very comfortable with yourself.
A: I was born without a sense of shame or regret (laughter).

Q: How much teasing did you have to put up with as a result of your full-frontal nudity in “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” which you wrote?
A: I got dumped in real life while I was naked, so while it was happening, I was so aware that it was the funniest thing that happened in my life. I was trying to listen to what she was saying, but my comedy mind was thinking, “I’m going to start writing about this tomorrow.” The worst part about that scene involved my mother. I didn’t tell her that I did the full frontal nudity. I thought it would be a funny surprise. So, we’re sitting in a test screening, then all of a sudden, out it comes. I looked over, and my mother was crying (laughter). That was the biggest rap I had to face.
I also had a girl come up to me at a bar the other day, and she whispered, “Hey, I just want you to know I saw ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall.’ You have a great p—s (laughter).” I turned around really excited and said, “Wow, really?” Then, she said, “No,” and went back to her table. She and her girlfriends laughed and pointed at me (laughter).

Q: Are you more open and sensitive in your own male friendships?
A: To answer the question, I’ll tell you a story. I lived with my best friend, whom I met when I was 12. For the past two years, he lived in my house. He was basically like my heterosexual life partner. We did everything together. On the day he left for New York to attend medical school, I gave him the typical dude goodbye. I said something like, “All right, man, catch you in New York. Go get ’em. Talk to you later, bro.” He left and, at 2 in the morning, I woke up crying hysterically. I was having a mundane dream about the two of us hanging out. When I woke up, there were tears streaming down my face! I called my mother in hysterics, and she was like, “Jason, this is really weird. You have to calm down (laughter).”
I think part of what “I Love You, Man” is about is that, had I said goodbye properly, like, “I love you, man, and I can’t wait to see you again. The past two years have been amazing,” I wouldn’t have woken up crying. It’s important to open up to your dude friends about your feelings, or else you’d end up the weirdo who wakes up in hysterics (laughing).

Q: Has anybody told you that your face is like a mixture of George Sanders and Lee J. Cobb?
A: No. I’ve gotten the young Judge Reinhold comments. Also, occasionally—and I don’t agree with this one, because it’s dumb—that I’m a slightly more attractive version of Brad Pitt (laughter). I don’t see it (laughing).

Q: How can a woman make you laugh?
A: I always get a chuckle when women say that they’ll go on a date with me.

Q: Who are you dating now?
A: I’m painfully single at the moment. I’m a single dude. I’m leaving for London, and I’ll be there from April through August. So, I’m now past the window when I could start a relationship. I’ll be in London because I’ll be filming “Gulliver’s Travels,” with Jack Black. I’m really excited. I play the main Lilliputian. It’ll be the first time that I’m going to be smaller than my costar (laughter)!

Aw, so cute. I want to take him home with me, the big oaf. There’s nothing like putting yourself out there by saying you are “painfully single”. And I can’t believe his wang made his mother cry. His poor mother. Can you imagine what a big baby he probably was? I’m ready to declare his mother a saint. Anyway, he’s going to be in England for the next four months. Keep your eyes and ears (and other body parts) open for Jason, London Celebitches!
