OK, the time difference confused me, so I’m a day late on wishing Neil Patrick Harris a happy 37th birthday. Neil gets my award for the best gay role model around and the best advertisement for our community amongst the straight community.
He’s funny, he’s got a killer smile, he’s not in your face, he lives his life out of the tabloids, with his beautiful boyfriend/partner. He’s got a good body without being intimidating, and he seems like a great guy willing to take the piss out of himself and have a great laugh. He can also sing and dance which will come in handy on a quiet weekend with nothing to do… I imagine.
Neil also seems to prove wrong the recent statement in the press that gay actors can’t convincingly play straight, leveled at Sean Hayes in his role on Broadway. Neil plays Barney, the womanising batchelor guy (as opposed to the big purple dinosaur) on “How I met your mother” and does a great job of it.
A belated birthday present? I’m officially giving Neil the first ever Aussielicious Award Role Model Award! Happy birthday Neil.
P.S. He’s also top of my wish list for an interview. Anyone?
As a Yank, I second the Award. Neill P. is just an all round great guy and actor and is respected by his peers. He wowed them and the TV Critics at the American Academy Awards.
Thanks for the pick.
Oh and if you read this, Mr. Harris – Happy Birthday.

He’s cute AND he’s a Gemini?! I love him even more now :)
I agree with Neil P. being a good role model for a gay man. I also like how the media treated it as no big deal (as it should be). I wish for the day when someone “comes out” and it isn’t considered news anymore.
But alas, that is up to other high profile individuals to be honest and forthcoming and not let the fact that they are gay think they have to live their life a certain way.
I digress…….happy belated.
