Neil Patrick Harris Chose His Own D*ck Pic for 'Uncoupled' (Decider)

Neil Patrick Harris, who plays Michael in Darren Star's new Netflix comedy 'Uncoupled,' dishes on the making of his character's infamous dick pic moment.

“I had to find a dick pic that wasn’t my actual dick to make it look like it was my dick, which is its own comedic endeavor because I’m scrolling through pictures of phalluses and I’m trying to determine, like, how large my own on-camera dong should be. He got what he needed, but the next day as he’s showing his colleague and an important new client photos of apartments on his phone, he accidentally swipes past his winning dick pic. After Stanley shows Michael his dick pic (or rather, an illustrated take on his dick that one the artists he represent mocked up) Michael heads into his gym’s locker room, drops his towel, and carries out his very own dick pic photo shoot. He has his friends to guide him, make him sign up for Grindr, and teach him the importance of having a good dick pic on hand. In Episode 3, after Michael’s first Grindr match blocks him for not sending a dick pic in a timely fashion, his pal Stanley (Brooks Ashmanskas) explains, “You need a dick pic. Needless to say, Michael is distraught — mostly because he loved Colin, but also because he has to get back on the dating scene in his forties.

Neil Patrick Harris on His First On-Camera Gay Sex Scene in ... (Variety)

The actor talks about the Netflix series, joining "Doctor Who" and stripping down to his underwear hosting the Oscars in 2015.

“Sex Education” star Ncuti Gatwa will make his debut as the new incarnation of the Doctor. You can listen to the full interview with Harris above. “It’s the same way that I don’t know the ‘Golden Girls,’” Harris admits. I hope we don’t turn it into a larger thing.” “And then I realized that’s just the picture people use when they talk about me as the Oscars host and I was wearing really nice suits. “It’s the same way that I don’t know Barbra Streisand. My gaydom started with like ‘Into the Woods’ and ‘Les Misérables’ and musical theater. It was a little insecure making because you don’t want to choose a massive dong because that’s like its own meta weird joke. “I know even before then they’re going to want more independence and not want to spend time together with us, necessarily. Harris had to wear two pairs of tighty-whities. “I just want to be able to prioritize these next five or six years with them before they’re off to college,” Harris says. It is true what they say?’” Harris recalls. It is true what they say.’ My knees buckled and I was like, ‘Gosh, thanks so much.’”

Neil Patrick Harris, Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman on Releasing ... (Hollywood Reporter)

Uncoupled star Neil Patrick Harris and co-creators Darren Star and Jeffrey Richman on creating a universal rom-com amid fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

“So perhaps it will prove to be a bubble, but it’s the reality of life for these characters.” “But I think in an interesting way, Uncoupled’s rom-comedy and Darren and Jeffrey’s real-world writing styles are yet another example to prove how universal this experience is,” he continues. “And I don’t think any of these characters for a minute question — except for Marcia Gay Harden’s character, who sort of questions, ‘Well, is it really the same for you as it is for me?’ — the depths of emotions that go into the pain one might feel with a breakup. That leaves it set squarely in a more equitable reality that LGBTQ+ people may be craving to see right now. It’s a very sexual show, but it’s not trying to make any sort of point on the sex scale.” Upon watching, it’s easy to see how the story’s main couple is defined less by their sexuality and more by their efforts to navigate life after spending nearly half of their’s together. It’s reflective of a generation of LGBTQ+ people who have, now, lived for years under equal civil rights they didn’t have before. “It was apparent immediately from reading even the first script, there was something about it that — and I mean this is a compliment — was so normal,” he continues. “Jeff and I were talking at the beginning that we wanted the emotions to feel universal. That effort was for star Harris part of what appealed to him when considering the project. That’s something Darren Star says was at the crux of how he and co-creator Jeffrey Richman approached the show. And it’s arriving at a notable time for the LGBTQ+ community.

Neil Patrick Harris series Uncoupled was released on Netflix this Friday. The 8-episode queer show has received a great amount of love from .

Fans' reactions on Twitter were worth reading, as many praised the exceptional performance of Neil Patris Harris, and many talked about the brilliant performance of Tisha Campbell with her extraordinary acting skills.

The show casts Harris as the main character alongside Tisha Campbell, Emerson Brooks, Brooks Ashmanskas, Marcia Gay Harden and more.

It’s a very sexual show, but it’s not trying to make any sort of point on the sex scale.” That through examples from written content, from filmed content, from stage content, from next door neighbor content, from poker friends content — we have too many examples of queer people being effective citizens. “It was apparent immediately from reading even the first script, there was something about it that — and I mean this is a compliment — was so normal,” he continues. That leaves it set squarely in a extra equitable fact that LGBTQ+ other folks is also yearning to look presently. “I’m very appreciative and grateful that we live in a time when this kind of content can be created and shown without much need to recognize its uniqueness,” Harris says. “Jeff and I were talking at the beginning that we wanted the emotions to feel universal. And it’s arriving at a notable time for the LGBTQ+ neighborhood. That’s one thing Darren Star says was once on the crux of the way he and co-creator Jeffrey Richman approached the display.

A middle-aged protagonist's expectations of growing old in comfort and style with their rich, handsome partner in a tastefully grand Manhattan apartment are ...

For most of the season's eight episodes, Colin remains a cipher (though it's not as if any of the other characters get much fleshing-out). There are a few scattered about, most poignantly Claire's loss of her friends post-divorce, since they decide to side with her much-wealthier husband. One might hope, then, that Star's latest show would offer some insight into the aging process, especially given that it's the gay TV auteur's first series with a gay male protagonist. It's also the plight of Neil Patrick Harris's Michael Lawson in "Uncoupled," the charmless new Netflix comedy from Jeffrey Richman and Darren Star, the latter of whom created the iconic HBO show (and later ceded creative control to Michael Patrick King). A spirited but shambolic co-worker encourages the protagonist to figure out the next chapter of their life, while shots of a squeaky-clean, casually plutocratic New York, set to a jaunty, jazzy score, suggest that one's post-40 years can be so much more than fretting in front of a mirror. Stunned and devastated, the childless protagonist looks to a pair of longtime pals for support, as well as a prickly new friend who comes attached to a major real estate deal.

'Uncoupled' Ending, Explained: What Happens Between Michael ... (Digital Mafia Talkies)

Netflix series, "Uncoupled," directed by Andrew Fleming, Zoe R. Cassavetes, and Peter Lauer, stars Neil Patrick Harris, Tisha Campbell, Brooks Ashmanskas,

It was only after Colin saw that Michael was no longer affected by their breakup, it struck him that he had committed a mistake and that he wouldn’t find anybody as loving as him. Billy went to Stanley and asked him why he had asked only Michael to come to the hospital and not him. It was Colin. He said that he had started to feel it was a big mistake and that they should never have parted. He had battled his inhibitions, his insecurities, and his vulnerabilities day in and day out after Colin left. The Jonathans, who were the mutual friends of Billy, Michael, Colin, Suzanne, and Stanley, were getting married, and had invited all of them to their grand Jewish Gay Wedding. Michael was all jittery because he knew that he would meet Colin and his new flare at the party. Michael was happy with what he had and didn’t hold any regret for not having certain people in his life. He asked Michael to come with him to the hospital, as he felt really scared and anxious. For 17 years, they had been living together, and Colin could see that everything in his life had been already planned for him, and there was no scope for any other possibility. The only difference was that for people like Claire and Michael, the vulnerability was evidently showing on their faces and their actions, but for others like Colin and Billy, it was pretty deep-rooted, and they were still living in denial, though subconsciously it was affecting them. His friend Billy asked him to make a profile on a dating app called Grindr, but for 17 years, he had been out of the playground and had lost touch. He told him that they would go for dinner in the evening, but instead, he had planned a surprise party for him. Colin stepped down from the cab and told Michael that he was breaking up with him and that he had already moved out of the apartment.

Neil Patrick Harris is suddenly single in comedy 'Uncoupled' (Charlotte Observer)

Neil Patrick Harris has played an impressive number of what he calls “extreme characters.”.

“I thought about it a lot when we were filming it, ‘Um, are the kids going to watch this?'” Harris said. They don't want to see my naked butt getting out of the shower in the bathroom. I work out a fair amount and I feel more confident in my own skin than I have before." It's a guy going through the pain of a breakup, and you don't really get to see it that often.” On the flip side, scenes that called for him to flash a goodly amount of skin left him unfazed. “So I think if they were to watch ‘Uncoupled' and see my naked butt on screen, they would be mortified. Harris sees value in a work that is “just a slice of representation without agenda....If one tries too hard to accomplish a specific agenda with art, it’ll be met with both extremes. I don’t need a changing room curtain," he said. “As a gay man myself, I thought that having content that was representational was great on a streaming platform like Netflix,” Harris said. “I’ve been with David for 18 years, and once we started dating, we really just never stopped.” You don't have to be gay to see yourself reflected in these characters because it's so much about the humanity of this experience." “I thought that that was all something that hasn’t necessarily been done before.

Neil Patrick Harris has played an impressive number of what he calls “extreme characters”, which made his role in the comedy Uncoupled especially appealing.

On the flip side, scenes that called for him to flash a goodly amount of skin left him unfazed. “As a gay man myself, I thought that having content that was representational was great on a streaming platform like Netflix,” Harris said. “I’ve been with David for 18 years, and once we started dating, we really just never stopped.” It’s where the world, the audience has moved, they want to see a show like this. “It’s almost the opposite,” said Star. “It was like, this is where we are. “I thought that that was all something that hasn’t necessarily been done before.

Doctor Who: Neil Patrick Harris talks 60th anniversary and praises Ncuti Gatwa; David Tennant posted an apology from set to ECCC attendees.

Russell T Davies is almost as iconic as the Doctor himself, and being able to work with him is a dream come true," Gatwa said when the news of his casting as the 14th Doctor was first announced. Instead, it's far more likely that he's actually talking about little-known additions to the Doctor Who canon, Beep the Meep and the Wrarth Warriors. This role and show mean so much to so many around the world, including myself, and each one of my incredibly talented predecessors has handled that unique responsibility and privilege with the utmost care.

In an interview with Variety, Neil Patrick Harris described a meeting with Ncuti Gatwa in relation to their respective roles in Doctor Who.

If Neil Patrick Harris is not making an assumption and was informed as part of his participation in the production of the 60th anniversary specials, Gatwa’s Doctor is gay. This is they first mention of the specific sexual orientation of any Doctor, though some previous male incarnations were portrayed as being attracted to and passionately kissing female characters. He’ll be the first gay Doctor, which is going to be super cool, a sexier Doctor.”

If you do love a good comedy about someone trying to find love, the show would be an entertaining watch. Neil Patrick Harris stands out in the show as Michael, and it looks like he had a ball playing the character's emotional side. One has to question if a professional would ever choose the words that he did, even if they are in character. For a man who has just got into the dating pool, everything that happens in the show is doused with water: from his sex life to the emotional baggage that he is carrying. There is an instance where Michael runs into his couple therapist at a bar where the expert moonlights as a singer with "Miss Communication." After a short conversation, the therapist goes ballistic and shares his piece of mind with the protagonist, which is rather odd. While Neil Patrick Harris stands out as Michael Lawson, the show in itself has nothing new to offer.
