NEIL PATRICK HARRIS: 'I REALISED I WAS GAY AFTER KISS OM BURT REYNOLDS'

Neil Patrick Harris got a crash urse those terms as he prepped for his Netflix edy "Unupled" (streamg Friday), which he stars as a middle-aged real-tate agent named Michael who's plunged to the New York datg pool after his boyiend of 17 years, Col (Tuc Watks), dumps him.Harris, who's been a relatnship wh his hband, actor/chef David Burtka, sce 2004, relied on iends to te him about gay hookup apps such as Grdr. (Edor's note: There is no swipg through match on Grdr.) "It seems that app-based datg the gay world is much ls about long-term nnectn," he ntu.

Meanwhile, Michael bonds wh a newly divorced real-tate client (Marcia Gay Harn) and attempts to unver why Col might've left him. We've both been through signifint breakups and felt that was a strong way to tell a story not only about a gay relatnship, but about a gay man beg sgle middle age, and what that would mean." Harris was their first choice to play Michael bee "he checks every box," Richman says: He's an out gay actor who unrstands edy, havg played cksure womanizer Barney Stson for ne seasons of CBS' "How I Met Your Mother." But he's also shown dramatic chops projects such as "Gone Girl" and HBO Max's "It's a S." For Harris, 49, was rehg to portray a nuanced character who's "profoundly lonely" yet still "very funny" as he navigat the "open wound" of a long-term breakup.

Followg the 2011 lg that legalized gay marriage New York, the uple announced their engagement, and eventually wed a private ceremony Italy 2014. In an exclive terview wh PEOPLE, Harris publicly me out as gay 2006.
