Funnyman Jason Segel works seven-day weeks, so he barely has time to sleep, let alone have a girlfriend. Since he’s single, he tells iVillage exclusively that he wants “someone who’s nice. Funny helps, but nice comes first.” Maybe that’s because Segel’s sense of humor — which he says helps him with the ladies — is enough for two people!
The solo actor, 30, has a lot on his plate right now. He’s promoting Gulliver’s Travels (costarring Jack Black and Emily Blunt), is on CBS’ How I Met Your Mother and is starring in 2011′s Muppets movie, which he also wrote.
In a recent interview, you said the toughest part of Gulliver’s Travels was playing someone who Emily Blunt would be attracted to. Do you really believe that?
I don’t know if it’s the toughest part, but it really helped with the role because I had to feel like she was above my station in life, you know? So I think that actually really helped that I’m intimidated by Emily.Some of us at iVillage are thinking of starting a “Make Jason Segel the Sexiest Man Alive” campaign.
I would highly encourage it. And, good luck! (Laughs) That would be very impressive!You signed a contract for eight seasons of How I Met Your Mother. Will you be done after that?
I would have to see how I felt at eight seasons. I think once you’ve done your contract, you’ve done everything that you said that you would do. So I wouldn’t feel like it was abandoning ship or anything like that. Eight years is a good long time. But you know I love working on the show and I love my cast and crew so I think I’ll play it by ear when I get there.
