(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Jason Segel says hes always wanted to own a chimpanzee.

The 30-year-old actor is best known for his roles in hit comedies I Love You, Man, Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Knocked Up.

As well as films, the multi-talented actor has starred in American sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

Despite achieving relative success in his professional life the star has revealed he has yet to realise a long-held ambition. He told Empire magazine that he has always wanted to have his own primate, despite the obvious risks.

Ive always dreamed of having a chimpanzee my uncle had one before I was born and said they get really, really unruly, and then I read all these stories about them ripping peoples faces off and the allure kind of drifted away for me, he joked. (C) Cover Media
