Jason Segel – Fitness And Diet


Actor, comedian, author, and producer, Jason Segel, who everyone will remember for playing the role of Marshall Eriksen in the highly successful television comedy sitcom How I Met Your Mother, reportedly lost 35 pounds to play a movie role. The change came as a shock to many of the actor’s fans, especially since he’s maintained it for over ten years of being a comedian. The movie was The Five Year Engagement, and the producers of the show allegedly told him that it had to be believable that Emily Blunt, one of the lead characters of the show, can fall in love with him.

The producers ultimately urged him to have a leaner body to pass as a leading man for Blunt, one of Hollywood’s best actresses. Segel said they gave him a trainer, with whom he worked out twice a day for months. Segel said that the trainer also monitored what he ate, so he had to eat healthily. Well, to his credit, he was able to survive and lose a ton of weight.
