Neil Patrick Harris on Barney & Ted Tension

0:00On March 23, Neil Patrick Harris recently joined his former How I Met Your Mother co-star, Josh Radnor, and co-creator Craig Thomas on their podcast How We Made Your Mother. The 52-year-old actor opened up about feeling like his over-the-top performance, as Barney Stinson sometimes irritated Radnor during filming. Harris explained that he zeroed in on the big laughs and physical comedy, while Radnor focused on the emotional depth of Ted Mosby. This clash in styles led to moments of frustration on set, with Harris sensing Radnor's annoyance amid his own spit-takes and bits. Radnor admitted to some tension, too, partly from blurring lines between their characters. Barney often dismissed Ted and his own struggles adjusting to. Sudden fame is the show's lead. He noted Harris and others had more experience, making his transition tougher after losing his anonymity. Looking back, both actors now celebrate their unique chemistry, as key to the show's nine-season run from 2005 to 2014.
