‘Forgotten Sarah Marshall’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

Uncategorized

The weather outside is back! Jason Segel penned one of the most popular romantic comedies of all time when he wrote Forget Sarah Marshall — and it all started with his own awkward breakup!

“I broke up while naked in real life. It was a really bad day,” he said How I met your mother alum told the ladies of The view during an interview in 2018. “My girlfriend was out of town and she called me from the airport and asked, ‘Hey, are you home, can I come over?’ When she arrived I waited for her like Burt Reynolds and she came in and I was like “I’ve been waiting for you,” and she said, “We need to talk.” And then this breakup started.

The 2007 film, which featured an amplified version of Segel’s own awkward breakup, follows struggling musician Peter Bretter (Segel) as he travels to Hawaii in a last-ditch effort to rescue his TV crime-solving ex-girlfriend Sarah Marshall (Kristen Bell). Trouble ensues when on the island he runs into his ex who is on vacation with her new boyfriend, but finds his own second chance at love with hotel employee Rachel Janson (Mila Kunis).

The unorthodox rom-com had an all-star supporting cast, including Bill Hader, Jonah Hill, Paul Rudd And Russell brand as Aldous Snow – a role that led not only to the 2010 comedy Take him to the Greek – but was originally intended for actor Charlie Hunnam.

Jason Segel wrote Forget Sarah Marshall for him and me to do together, and he wrote that part [of Aldous Snow] for me,” the Sons of lawlessness said during a November 2020 interview with Collider. “I went and I read the table and it was very successful…but I felt like I had to grab the trajectory [of my career] and that just didn’t really line up with what I wanted to do… He’s one of my best friends, but I had to tell him, ‘I’m so sorry, I’m not going to do this.’”

While the England native revealed that he came to regret his decision, he soon realized that Brand was ultimately the right man for the job.

“Obviously that’s the guy who should have played that part,” he admitted. “Obviously I just had to get out of the way of the universe manifesting as it should.”
