Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz

Jason Segel and Cameron Diaz (N/A)

This is not how Jason Segel ‘met your mother’, but this is how he met Cameron Diaz.

The How I Met Your Mother star will be accompanying Diaz on a new project, a comedy film that will be titled Bad Teacher. Actor John Michael Higgins will also joined them.

It tells a story of a middle school teacher who gets dumped by her boyfriend. The foul-mouthed, gold-digging seventh-grade teacher then develops an eye for the school’s model teacher. But, she has some competition with a co-worker (played by Lucy Punch) for his affection.

Diaz is the main character, with Segel will suit up as the gym teacher. Meanwhile, Higgins will play the role of the school’s principal, a man named Wally Snur. This Columbia Pictures project will start shooting next month in Los Angeles, with Jake Kasdan as the director.

Beside known as Marshall on How I Met Your Mother, Segel had also appeared in several movies, including Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I Love You, Man. While Cameron Diaz has gained famous from her roles in movies such as Charlie’s Angels, My Sister’s Keeper and most recently, The Box.

We can’t hardly wait to see them together on screen!
