This month, we’re spotlighting actor Josh Segarra in our Q&A series, POPSUGAR Crush. Segarra has been making waves in the entertainment industry with his roles in popular shows like “The Other Two,” “Scream,” and “She-Hulk.” In “The Other Two,” Segarra plays Lance, a shoe designer-turned-nurse who recently becomes People’s Sexiest Man Alive. While his character’s love life seems uncertain at the moment, Segarra believes there’s always hope for him and Brooke, his on-screen ex-fiancée.
Segarra’s characters, including Pug in “She-Hulk” and Danny in “Scream 6,” all fall under the lovable, gregarious himbo category. Segarra embraces these roles and considers them “gifts” that allow him to bring compassion and loyalty to his characters. He was particularly thrilled to join the “Scream” franchise, as he vividly remembers watching the first film and being a fan of David Arquette and Courteney Cox.
When it comes to personal connections, Segarra shares that his parents played a significant role in shaping his empathetic nature. He carries their example forward with his own kids, wanting them to always feel comfortable expressing themselves and knowing it’s okay to show vulnerability. Although his oldest son sometimes confuses the real world with what he sees on screen, Segarra enjoys instilling a sense of imagination in him as an actor’s child.
In the interview, Segarra also shares details about his first celebrity crush, his favorite pickup line, his preferred flirtatious emoji, and his go-to self-care routine. He mentions that he loves spending quality time with his family and enjoys activities like picking up his boys from school, reading them bedtime stories, and singing to them before bed. His coffee order is Café Bustelo, a brand that holds sentimental value for him, and he reveals that he is a dog person who owns a beloved pup named Susie. He and his wife often enjoy date nights that involve exploring restaurants owned by former “Top Chef” contestants and indulging in tasty treats like Magnolia banana pudding or Levain cookies.
In terms of love advice, Segarra believes that the best relationships and friendships are built on open and meaningful conversations. As someone who wears his heart on his sleeve, he values the power of communication in fostering strong connections with loved ones.
