These days, actor Jason Segel is just as likely to walk through a row of orange trees in overalls as he is to be at a Hollywood premiere in an Armani suit.

The 44-year-old “How I Met Your Mother” star opened up this week about why he packed up and moved to a “small country town” at the height of his success in the industry.

“I was having a really roaring 20s. I had ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ and I was also writing a bunch of movies that were successful and doing well. But I wasn’t doing a lot of personal check-ins because I was so busy,” Segel told Hoda Kotb on the “Today” show Wednesday.

“You know, I was working pretty much every day of the year, doing ‘How I Met Your Mother,’ writing a movie during that year, and then shooting it during the break, going back to ‘How I Met Your Mother.’ And I realized that art is supposed to be a reflection of what you’re going through, and I actually wasn’t going through much lifewise.
