I’m so convinced Neil is truly Barney and not just acting it. Love him.

[jules.s-treehouse]

He's done so much it's crazy. Writer, director, actor (tv and broadway), singer, producer... and he has a family on top of all that. It's honestly inspiring

[danielaguerrerocardenas]

“how is Neil Patrick Harris”
“Awesome!”
his inner barney came out to life

[denisetorres]

THATS NOT NEIL PATRICK HARRIS MR POE, THATS COUNT OLAF IN DISGUISE!

[ferni]

The thing I appreciate the most about NPH's acting is how no matter how the character's personality is, NPH's essence is always shining through, making them that much better

[jenniferharlow]

I’m pretty sure I had a goofy smile on my face this whole interview. He’s just so funny and wholesome and effortlessly funny. I’m also mad impressed with his success; I didn’t know about a few of his pursuits like games and books.

[wanderlustqueen]

I love that he actually has the VFD tattoo!!! What a wonderful actor. I love his roles and the energy he brings to them!

[thirdpedalnirvana]

Neil Patrick Harris has the kind of smile where if he smiles at you you are legally compelled to smile back. It feels literally impossible to not smile back.

[huntielle]

He seems to be that type of person that everyone would absolutely love being friends with!

[surprisevegeta]

Neil Patrick Harris just seems like the sweetest/nicest actor ever.

Rare footage of Barney Stinson not wearing a suit

[OscarStinson]

He has NOT watched Cobra Kai??? He is literally the reason the show exists!

[chrisstorms]

wow! I didn't realize that he did so much. He was a child actor, has acted in film, TV, and broadway. he's a magician, director, author, business owner, and a cook. and probably more. like wow!

[Nikkiflausch]

WIRED's guests are always great, but you know Neil Patrick Harris takes the cake because the crew couldn't stop giggling in the background.

[Random_Tech-Priest]

Are we sure this not just count Olaf in disguise?

[oscargill]

Neil Patrick Harris is literally just Barney but slightly more soft spoken and not absurdly misogynistic

Edit: Objectifying of women, there, are you happy?

[austinhall]

Constant smiles through this whole thing. I haven’t seen him on screen since I finished binging How I Met Your Mother last spring, and I’m glad to see he’s doing well today.

[avishekchatterjee]

Even though he has been in many successful shows, I don't think any of them have used his natural personality effectively, i.e., he is cooler in person than any of his characters (except perhaps Doogie Howser).

[haleyanne]

How has he NOT been on this interview until now?!? He seems like such a wholesome and great guy to hang out with! His game Box1 is AWESOME!

[tzking]

I only watched "Series of unfortunate events" because of him and absolutely loved it! He is a phenomenal actor and proves it again and again!
