Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Jason Segel really did write the screenplay after a painful breakup, and the opening nude scene was his idea to immediately make audiences as vulnerable as his character.
Russell Brand's Aldous Snow became so beloved that he got his own spin-off film, 'Get Him to the Greek,' effectively making him the franchise's breakout star over the actual romantic leads.
