How I Met Your Mother actor Jason Segel has revealed to Los Angeles Times how he does not have a lot of time for many of the big egos that can be found in Hollywood. Jason claims that it frustrates him that somebody who is famous thinks they know him, just because he is also famous.
Segel explained, "For some reason, you're all supposed to know each other. But I don't know you. I've never met you. Yes, I know your name. You're famous. But say your name. That's how people interact so we feel like equals.”
He added, "Everyone's waiting for the moment where I turn into a jerk, and it's not gonna happen." He then went on to admit that, in his early career, he struggled to accept praise for his success, something which has learnt to deal with over the years.
Jason continued, "In my 20s, all the characters I played were stunted because I became so scared to even allow myself a pat on the back. Acknowledging my success felt arrogant. But it's all right to be a confident, self-assured man. I'm growing into that."
Do you think Jason Segel will ever become a jerk?
