Jason Segel lost 40 pounds for ‘Sex Tape’

Los Angeles, Oct 20 (IANS) Actor Jason Segel has lost 40 pounds because he was worried about his body in the upcoming movie "Sex Tape".

The 33-year-old decided to slim down when he discovered he would have to appear shirtless in the movie, reports contactmusic.com.

"It is R-rated and I’m not in shape for no reason. This time when I take my shirt off, I’ve made a promise to myself, it doesn’t have to be funny," the "How I Met Your Mother" star told Us Weekly magazine.
