Interview with Barney for “Rolling Stone”
Neil Patrick Harris is sitting in his dressing room, giving interview, leaning back in his green couch, and reflects on the vicious style, which he plays in "How I Met Your Mother." As an incorrigible womanizer Barney Stinson, Harris brought boorish and insensitive behavior to a whole new level. But only on TV.
"I like Barney the fact that we have to play fiercely, - says Harris. - Energy from the swing. He is one of the few characters on television, who lives in his own world, has its own vocabulary, intelligible only to him amusing ways. No, it is not a nerd. His whole essence is that he feels cool. - In addition, I wear suits, always flirt and drink. We drink so much in the show that I have already developed a reflex - when pronounced sort of a joke, a sip of whiskey. In general, it is not surprising that our show has not received a single award for the promotion of family values. "
20 years later, Harris managed to become one of the most unpredictable actors of television. He sings! Dancing! He knows how to juggle! He bit on the spot, appearing as a guest of the show "Saturday Night" coming up in the air, replacing Paula Abdul in the "Idol", has been leading Tony Awards and Emmy awards ceremony.
"The accuracy of the Nile, when it comes to the moments of appearance in the frame for a particular motion, articulation cues, unique," - says Joss Wedon who set a musical Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blogâ€, broadcasted on the Internet. - He works on each component of his role that allows him to achieve an incredible accuracy of the image of his character, which he then worked, adding something individual. It's unbelievable".
After traveling with the musical "Rent" in 1997, Harris decided it was time to tell his family that he is - gay.
"Speaking with Rent", I saw people who took themselves for what they have, with infinite joy. I never thought that for me it would be possible. And when I ceased to suppress the fact that we hadhiding because of public scrutiny to my TV past, I was able to tell publicly who I'm".
In 2006, a move which many consider a turning point for the development of gay rights, Harris has publicly announced his sexual orientation and found that from the moment of his career has gone up.
"Some of those who talk about me is, stipulates that at that moment I was already gained the authority of an actor - he said. - In any case, I was pleasantly surprised that at that moment has been no hardship in the professional aspect".
Neil Patrick Harris together with his boyfriend collect magic props and love Halloween.
"We adore Halloween party. Last year we dressed up as dead British dandy and pasted white contact lenses. The half-naked girl stoned to us all the time approached and said: "We like your lens so much" And we replied: And we like your bust!
