Jason Segel Cried When He 'Met' Kermit the Frog (VIDEO)
Jason Segel has a particular affinity for puppets, as evidenced by the puppet version of "Dracula" in his 'Forgetting Sarah Marshall' film. Now the 'How I Met Your Mother' actor is working on the next Muppets movie, and he's clearly the perfect adult for the job.At the first script reading, the puppeteers brought their Muppets along, explained Segel on 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). Segel heard "Hi ho," turned and glimpsed Kermit the Frog and promptly broke down. "They had to stop because I started crying hysterically," chuckled Segel.
Why? "He was so beautiful!" Segel then went on to describe the magical spell puppets seem to cast on children, as they did on him as a child. "That's why I'm doing this movie," he said.
