Uncoupled star Neil Patrick Harris said he had a say in picking his character’s nude Grindr pic in a new interview. On 28 July, Netflix finally released its LGBTQ+ romantic comedy series Uncoupled.
The show follows “successful New York City real estate agent” Michael Lawson (Harris), whose seemingly perfect life gets turned upside down after his long-term boyfriend Colin (Tuk Watkins) leaves him after 17 years. “Overnight, he has to confront two nightmares: losing the man he thought was his soulmate and suddenly finding himself a single gay man in his mid-forties in New York City,” the synopsis reads.
Throughout the season, Michael navigates the ever-changing dating world, including popular dating apps like Grindr. During the third episode, Michael follows the advice of his best friend Stanley James to take a dick pic to elevate his profile – which of course, results in hilarity.
In an interview with Page Six, Harris opened up about the scene and how he selected his character’s “special member.” “Not only did I get approval, [but] I was asked to choose said d*ck, which is harder than you think, no pun intended,” he told the publication.
