That’s one way to inflate an ego.
Harrison Ford watched his “Shrinking” co-star Jason Segel’s film “Forgetting Sarah Marshall” — where he goes full frontal — before deciding to join the cast of the Apple TV+ drama series.
And believe it or not, Ford was impressed by the actor’s “great d–k.”
“He didn’t know anything about me,” Segel told Variety during a joint interview with Seth Rogen, published Thursday. “They sent him ‘The End of the Tour’ and ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall.’”
“Then, apparently, [producer] Bill Lawrence got a text that said, ‘I’m in. And tell the kid, great d–k.”
Rogen couldn’t resist commenting on the exchange, saying, “Even if he was out, that would be great. I would take that.”
Ford, who plays therapist Dr. Paul Rhoades in the streaming hit opposite Segel’s troubled Jimmy Laird, has broached the topic before.
In a February interview with the Wall Street Journal, the actor was asked to reveal one thing he “taught” his co-star.
“To keep his pants on,” Ford, 82, wryly replied. “Because he appears two times in ‘Sarah Marshall’ with his Johnson hanging out.”
The “Star Wars” icon added, “I was struck enough to send him a brief note. It said, ‘nice penis.’”
In an October 2024 interview with Hoda Kotb on “Today,” Segel admitted his “relationship offscreen” with Ford “mirrors our relationship onscreen.”
“I desperately want his approval,” Segal jokingly confessed. “And he doles it out in such small doses, and it just means the world to me. Every time he says ‘good job, kid,’ I’m like, ‘he likes me!’”
Segel admitted there was “panic” when the Hollywood legend accepted the offer to join the cast.
“Oh my God, Harrison Ford’s gonna show up! We better fix the script!” he quipped.
The casting choice proved to be solid. “I think he’s doing some of his best work,” Segel said of Ford.
