Harrison Ford’s Surprising Compliment to Jason Segel in Shrinking
Fantastic—only Hollywood would gift us Harrison Ford praising his co-star’s anatomy on the set of Apple TV+’s Shrinking. According to the New York Post, while filming a therapy scene in October 2022, Ford leaned in and quipped that Segel had a “great d–k.” Yes, you read that right. Look, I don’t want to be the one to spell out why this matters, but here we are: two pros, one unfiltered compliment, and a story that refuses to quit.
Let’s break it down before you roll your eyes: Shrinking pairs Segel’s awkward therapist with real grief issues and Ford pops up as a visiting “big-name” shrink. During downtime, sources tell People Magazine that Ford playfully sized up Segel’s—shall we say—credentials. Segel himself later admitted in an interview with GQ that he nearly choked on his water when Ford dropped the line, “That’s some stellar equipment you’ve got, kid.” I told you so: Hollywood will always find a way to brag about body parts.
It wasn’t some rogue mic snafu, either. Insider reports that the entire crew heard the remark—laughter, shocked gasps, and a quick cut to “roll cameras.” Segel rolled with it, joking that he hoped Ford’s comment would speed up his next therapy paycheck. Variety confirms the scene wrapped without any drama, though you can bet the water cooler talk lasted for days.
Why are we still talking about this? Because it highlights every absurd corner of celebrity culture: big egos, bigger compliments, and absolutely no filter. And yes, it’s promoting Shrinking—Apple TV+’s attempt at blending genuine grief therapy with sitcom mischief. Critics at Entertainment Weekly praise the show for its emotional honesty, but I’m pretty sure none of them expected an anatomy shout-out from Indiana Jones himself.
You might think this is just more tabloid fluff—fair enough. But it also underscores how stars like Ford keep it unpredictable. One minute you’re filming a heartfelt exchange, the next you’re fielding praise from a legend. Segel will no doubt carry this anecdote to every late-night show in town. And you know what? I’ll be here, rolling my eyes, waiting for the next over-the-top tidbit.
And that, dear reader, is why we can’t have nice things—Hollywood will always deliver the cringe.
