   Jason Segel says goodbye to “midnight pizzas,” loses weight for new role

Jason Segel was spotted the other day out and about in Boston and his incredibly thin physique is getting fans speculating whether he’s not going down the Method acting route. As it turns out, Jason really did lose the weight for a part.

He is now shooting a new movie with Cameron Diaz, in which they play former lovers who realize a tape they made together, in a most intimate moment, got lost. They’re determined to track it down and get it back before it ends up in the wrong hands.

The role required Jason to slim down, the actor himself says for Us Weekly – so this is precisely what he did.

“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,” he says.

As for how he achieved this slimmer figure, Jason assures Us it was in a healthy way. “I've just been living healthy, exercising, eating right — no more midnight pizzas,” he explains.

In that case, good for him! Too Fab has more photos.
