I’m so convinced Neil is truly Barney and not just acting it. Love him.
I don't think he slept with 300 women IRL but other than women I mean kinda yeah
so trueee i love barneyyyy
I'd hope not!
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
well, TV, Broadway AND Hollywood.
you forgot Magician
Isn’t he also a hardcore magician?
czcams.com/video/DlXjCCrstHY/video.html
I ran into him and his family in the small town I live! They were so cute and nice!
“how is Neil Patrick Harris”
“Awesome!”
his inner barney came out to life
Neil Patrick Harris is literally just Barney but slightly more soft spoken and not absurdly misogynistic
Edit: Objectifying of women, there, are you happy?
Also maybe a touch less heterosexual
@@NateSearson Wow. Really??? Lol 😄👍
@@NateSearson just a touch lol
@@maxpayne4129 yep. really. i think he's less of a chick maniac then barney xd
@@skywateriam 😉
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
I find it amazing he completely convinced me of his character in HIMYM, I literally thought that was how he was for a long time.
@@vinnieg6161 8
I forget NPH did magic.
You demonic wizard...
@@vinnieg6161 fun fact! Barney was based on NPH's character in "Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle" where he plays a super extreme, douchy, misogynistic straight guy and goes by his own name. They took that character, toned him down so he would be suitable for HIMYM and valais! You have Barney Stinson.
Yeah... Usually it's a bad thing when you can't act the character without being yourself...
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.
I knew about ''The bro code'' and the ''the playbook'' xD
www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/neil-patrick-harris-backlash-amy-winehouse-corpse
Same!!! Lol
I do like him, I just can't get over what he did to Amy Winehouse
czcams.com/video/DlXjCCrstHY/video.html
He has NOT watched Cobra Kai??? He is literally the reason the show exists!
I knew you'd be here
How is he the reason the show exists
Idk. I love Cobra Kai.
@@FISH-tg8pn the creators of the show based their idea of Barney believing Johnny being the good guy in the Karated Kid
True! I'm pretty sure there was a reference to HIMYM in Cobra Kai, specifically about Barney. Can't believe he didn't watch it.
I love that he actually has the VFD tattoo!!! What a wonderful actor. I love his roles and the energy he brings to them!
he also shaved his head for that role, he's always doing his best haha
@@senamation tbf I'd do the same, if I were playing Olaf I'd want to get that hairstyle down right
@@typo1345 it probably also made it easier for him to film it as well hat would regrow quickly in a way and just saves time on filming
Same
He seems to be that type of person that everyone would absolutely love being friends with!
the anti-barney stinson
Yeah probably not
Not religious illiterates like muslim and Christian comic book believing folks.
czcams.com/video/DlXjCCrstHY/video.html
@@tommyvasquez2708 Anti? I would love to be friend with BS! Who else are you gonna lick liberty bell with?
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.
♡
Neil Patrick Harris just seems like the sweetest/nicest actor ever.
Are we sure this not just count Olaf in disguise?
Nope
this is barney stinson but evolved
No count Olaf isn’t that good of an actor to play this nice of a character
Lol
You mean count omar?
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.
Takes the cake 💀
@anonymous it actually wasn’t a cake. It was a meat platter which is kinda of even creepier. It had ribs, pulled pork, stuff like that.
czcams.com/video/DlXjCCrstHY/video.html
When Jacksepticeye was the guest, the crew was trying so hard not to laugh because he was cracking really good jokes left right and center.
I read this comment at the beginning of the video and know i keep trying to hear giggles but i cant
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!
And a game designer! Like, what?
he also was a cunning warrior and a good friend
He's a master of the possimpible
Also a husband and dad, the list goes on
same that’s awesome!
My life right now is so screwed up that when he so reflectively said “awesome. Thanks for asking!” It made my heart hurt a little…but the guy deserves it. Actor, Writer, Director, Author, Inventor, Magician…on TV, movies and Broadway…wow! He seems so energetic and bubbly but still so chill. His kids are so lucky- seems like such a great dad! And he has rescue dogs ❤️
It's nice to have role models on TV who like you said are also awesome people, not just amazing performers.
Him not only forgetting that he sang multiple songs in Glee, as well as getting the one he could remember wrong is so freakin' funny.
Q: How is Neil Patrick Harris?
NPH: *wonders how he can accurately summarize how great his life has been so far*
NPH: Awesome. Thanks for asking!
He channeled his inner Barney Stinson for that one
@@aurorajosehpine3791 what is already here.
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.
He's a LEGEN wait for it, and I hope you're not lactose intolerant because the next part of this word is DARY
Whatch uncoupled. That's his recent show
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!
Correct
him playing Olaf is literally a good actor acting as a bad actor badly acting
true@@typo1345
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!
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).
the great doogie howser
Barnabus 'Barney' Stinson
He also did voices of Spider-Man and Nightwing
he has a magnetism to him that allows him to play extremely exaggerated characters that most others can't. that's a rare ability, so in studios' minds it's not worth it for him to play a "straight" character that's closer to his real personality. there are tons of actors who can do that, but only a few who can be absurd without coming off as cheesy like NPH can
Have you seen Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog (three part Josh Wedon CZcams series)? I think that comes close.
His real personality is as good as some of the characters he’s played I love it 😅
He's like Will Smith in that way (minus the slapping)
He does get slapped a lot though
"special episode of doctor who"
Doctor Who - The Giggle
Character - The Celestial Toymaker
I was so glad he flashed his SOUE tattoo. He was everything Count Olaff could be and more. I could watch that series over and over and over and over again.
He’s just absolutely delightful. How can one human being be full of so much cheer and joy
Barney' is hands down one of the top 3 funniest character's in TV history.
Agreed 😂😂
He was LEGEN *wait for it* .....................................................................
@@Eat_Pi DARY
@@randomico7632 LEGENDARY!
@@Eat_Pi IhopenoonehereislactoseintolerantbecausethesecondpartofthatwordisDAIRY
For some reason I want Neil Patrick Harris to star in a movie with Ryan Reynolds. Mostly as brothers-in-arms, but possibly also as a friendly rivalry.
The opening number sung by NPH at the 87th academy awards is still one of my most favorite things he's ever done.
Same! "We were that kid!"
It is possible that NPH haven't watched Cobra Kai yet, but he deserved to be cameo in that series, BECAUSE HE IS BASICALLY INVENTED IT!
What do you mean?
His character in HIMYM is obsessed with William Zabka and his character in The Karate Kid coz Barney always supports the villains in movies
@@LaddyRa Just occurred to me after reading and basically agreeing with the sentiment... that actually.. Barney had the idea... which means the writers/creators of HIMYM came up with the idea. whoa.
Best part is that he was in Harold & Kumar and the writers of that went on to create Cobra Kai and Barney Stinson thought that Willam Zabka was the real Karate Kid, it’s all come full circle
There are no words to describe him other than "colorful". I love how he has to imagine him hugging his dog to say how big she is
The energy of David Tennant and Neil Patrick Harris will be 🤯
Rare footage of Barney Stinson not wearing a suit
If he hasn’t done “Hot Ones” yet, he needs to.
Vouch
He's doing it on Thursday
@@hermunkulus really??
Its been posted on their channel!
Yup he did and it was great
He's so infectious and bubbly, definitely one of my favorite autocomplete interview
He’s literally Barney in real life
he’s like an evolved version of Barney lmao
6:10 I love that he loves suits in real life just like how Barney loves them in how I met your mother
I just started watching Series of Unfortunate Events, and I have to say he SLAYS count olaf in a way that jim carrey's version never could.
"Starship troopers, I only recommend the first one" so funny, yet so true
Not a whole lot of actors/celebrities I actually want to meet - ya know, the whole don't meet your heroes thing, but Neil is definitely one I'd love to actually meet. He's so genuine and inspiring
Neil...nailed it in Uncoupled, he is so good in the role of Michael...love him more and more ( I wish I would have been in the first row during the Hedwig play...)
Neil Patrick Harris in doctor who series??? Like, what? Can't wait to watch. And to be honest, I think he would be an amazing Doctor
I think he'd be really good as like an alternate dimension 10th doctor
Yep, for the upcoming holiday special. There have been behind the scenes photos and some people have speculated who he might be playing based on costumes alone, but no one really knows...
I think he's the antagonist.
I doubt he'd be The Doctor, but I feel like he'd be perfect as The Master - though he's overqualified, since he already has a PhD in horribleness
my high school used to sing at Epcot for candlelight and he was one of the most frequent narrators, and every time he could he’d come into the rehearsal tent and say hi to us or at least wish us luck, and he was like the only one who always tried his best to do so before every show
I used to adore Neil Patrick Harris just for his demeanour and charisma.
But then I watched this interview and that changed everything.
Now instead, I'm in love with him.
NPH was incredible in Doctor Who
i love neil patrick harris he’s one of the funniest actor and down to earth person
I've got a lot of time for Neil Patrick Harris. A very talented, nice, cool guy.
This is how I like to imagine Barney a couple of years after his daughter was born. Just grown up, humble, and successful in life. Finally got his life together.
I love listening to him talk about himself. He is one of my favorite people on Earth. Humble funny and just generally a great human being.
How come this man never age?!
The longer the name, the longer you live. Simple physics actually.
Geminis 🤷🏻♂️
Never age???
@@Eat_Pi True story!
Lighting and makeup.
I didn't know neil Patrick Harris even made games but I'm so happy to hear about him explain box 1 because playing board games has always been one of my favorite hobbies, but I'm an only child so I am very familiar with the issue that most board games aren't 1 player. It's so nice to see someone else, to see Neil Patrick Harris, also recognize that issue and make a game.
Neil Patrick Harris has such a cool personality. I'm never into autobiographies but his choose your own adventure one is such a fun concept, I want to check it out.
I've always admired how much this man does and all his achievements..the acting, the directing, producing, singing, dancing, presenting, everything is so impressive and executed superbly and fantastically!!!
NPH seems like such a great person, inside and out. He must be protected at all costs, we can't afford to ever lose such an outstanding person!! He just exudes joy, love him!
I need to check out his books, especially the autobiography. NPH just keeps getting cooler the more I learn about him.
I literally just ordered the autobiography whilst watching this video hahaha
Neil Patrick Harris is america's sweetheart and a national treasure. Treat him like you would Betty White or Terry Crews. And if you don't... ☠️
He's got a long way to go before you can put him in the same category as Betty White, may she rest in peace. 💗
Neil is truly one of the coolest guy ever. So talented, charismatic and funny!
Lets not forget the time Neil voiced Spider-man in 2003. It only lasted one season but it was absolutely amazing (pun intended). Neil's performace as Peter and Spider-man was phenomenal.
This is one of my new favorite Wired interviews just cuz of how much fun it is. I was smiling and laughing the whole time. NPH is a pure joy
Honestly I've never seen Neil Patrick Harris out of any of his characters, but this made me like him even more
He’s such a light, I could listen to him talk all day 🫶🏾
I didn't realise NPH had done so much outside of acting. It's seriously impressive and is inspiring me to expand my hobbies and just try out different things. Also put his autobiography on my book list, it sounds like a lot of fun.
I can't believe Doogie Howser was only 4 seasons!?! I remember watching it for years and years!
i’m so excited to see him in the doctor who 60th special and i think he’s gonna be great
Loved this one! What a genuinely nice dude. Really cares for his family and has had such an incredible career (which is still continuing)
7:02 omg he actually has it omg that’s amazing😭
Such a wholesome and funny guy! It's so wonderful when a good person with talent becomes rich/ famous!
I've just completely loved this guy since the 80s. (He's only five months older than me.) This is delightful.
his energy is just amazing! he always makes me smile and he seems genuinely happy inside.
He’s so charismatic!! I love him so much!
I think this is the only person with over personality awareness, that I like, because he does it with such huge amounts of grace. very talented, versatile and energetic. I simply adore watching you
“Love suits! Let’s talk about suits” I love this man so much.
Also ever since I watched a series of unfortunate events with him playing count Olaf I wanted my first tattoo to be the VFD eye on my inner left ankle. It’s my all time favorite show and I love it so so much.
Why did I hear voices in my head when he explained about the games he invented 2:27: PATENT PENDING, GOD IM SUCH A GENIUS
This man is SUCH A LEGEND! ♥♥♥ So talented in everything, has a beautiful family, the VFD tattoo totally got me! ♥
That is the absolute perfect name for a dog in NPH’s family. I chortled when I heard it. :D Thanks so much for the delightful interview!
Lord NPH is giving me Connor Franta vibes - they should collab and have Neil run Con ragged.
NPH could also play Tom Holland, George Sear and Kit Connor's dad in a movie or something
“Don’t wanna let me into your club? Fine. I’ll become the president then.”
Neil Patrick Harris is the most legendary dude alive. He gets sexier with age and his personality is so fun. Forever in love with him. ❤️🥰
Adorable! So sad Uncoupled had only 8 episodes, I'd watch 30, at least, in a row!
i literally have seen him in a lot of films and shows how is this my first interview i watched of him HE'S SO FUN AND CUTE
god i adore this man, I can't imagine anyone even slightly disliking him
👍
His interview was very impressive. I think that he is an example for many people all over the world!
Such an impressive and good person. I admire his positive, fun attitude.
:)
My favorite wired interview! Neil Patrick Harris is so talented, charismatic, funny, and sweet:) And that Jason Segel impression was spot on😂
just watched uncoupled, hoping for a season 2!
What a wholesome human being!
He's a man who gives a friendly sibling vibe
www.buzzfeednews.com/article/stephaniesoteriou/neil-patrick-harris-backlash-amy-winehouse-corpse
I hope he is soon filming more episodes of uncoupled! ❤
He’s so talented and did so many things! I’ve been a fan of his for so many years
nothing but love for that man.
It's only until you start watching NPH being himself that you see how much of himself is in Barney Stinson's character
"Starship Troopers? I'd only recommend the first one" had me rolling coz its so true 🤣🤣
I met him at BookCon when he was writing the Magic Misfit series and he is such a cool person. So kind and funny and I highly recommend the book series as well!
Just finished Uncoupled.
Didn't have much expectations.really really liked it.good fun!
Definitely one of my top 5 favourite voices for Spider Man. Shattered Dimensions was so nostalgic
I'll never forget Doogie Howser, he was so young and yet the show was so good at the time.
I've loved NPH since Doogie. I feel like I grew up with him. One of my fave actors!
6:53 ASOUE🔥🔥🔥🔥
When he said he won a tony for playing “Hedwig” I was like: oh my gosh he played an owl? And won a tony for it?
I was hoping he was going to do a Box Two and that he confirms it is happening, has me super excited!
I wanted this to be at least 3 hours long. What a guy.
Yeah he’s such a legend🙏
Just binged "Uncoupled". I'm happy for him....also, THAT WAS HIM IN 'CLARA'S HEART'!? My mind is blown. Wow.
