Jason Segel Reflects on Life After Hollywood

Jason Segel has shared his motivations for leaving Hollywood after the success of 'How I Met Your Mother' in 2014, opting instead for a quieter life in Ojai, California. During a recent 'Today' show appearance, Segel reflected on his busy career, noting that despite his successes, he wasn't engaging in personal self-reflection. He expressed the realization that art should mirror one's life experiences, which led him to reevaluate his own. This transition helped him discover a sense of calm and prompted deeper inquiries about his identity as an artist. Segel emphasized that this journey has influenced his current work, particularly his new series 'Shrinking,' which explores more profound themes. Ultimately, he finds satisfaction in his decision, enjoying the simplicity of small-town life over the Hollywood hustle.
