"Jason Segel has described starring in The Muppets as a dream come true. The actor, who co-wrote The Muppets, explained that working with Kermit The Frog and Miss Piggy was a nice change of pace from his more adult roles in Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Bad Teacher. &amp;quot;The Muppets movie is right in my wheelhouse. It was nice to do something that was really pure and sweet and innocent,&amp;quot; Segel told Reuters. He continued: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s sort of a trade off. You can&amp;#039;t do the raunchy jokes, but you get to do these totally Muppety jokes that you don&amp;#039;t do in regular films. It was a fair trade off for me.&amp;quot; Segel went on to name Kermit The Frog as his very favorite Muppet, saying: &amp;quot;I remember watching Kermit and thinking, &amp;#039;That&amp;#039;s who I want to be when I grow up&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;He&amp;#039;s Tom Hanks, or Jimmy Stewart. He&amp;#039;s the moral compass of the Muppets and he&amp;#039;s the every man, the glue that holds it all together.&amp;quot; Segel previously joked that he&amp;#039;s hesitant to become a father because his large size often frightens babies. The Muppets is released in theatres in the US on November 23 and on February 17, 2012 in the UK. &amp;gt; The Muppets spoof Twilight in new posters &amp;gt; The Muppets cover Cee Lo Green&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;Forget You&amp;#039; - video Watch the trailer for The Muppets below:  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
