Neil
Patrick Harris Praises Britney Spears TV Appearance 3/14/08
Actor Neil Patrick Harris is raving about Britney Spears' return to
acting - even though the pop star refused to take off her sunglasses for
an in-studio read-through.
Spears is playing a secretary opposite Harris in an upcoming episode of
U.S. TV sitcom How I Met Your Mother - and the actor was impressed with
the troubled Toxic singer's professionalism when it came time to act.
He says, "She's good. We did the run through on Tuesday, she
seemed a little nervous, she wore the big sunglasses the whole time.
"I think that's a bit of a security blanket. But she seems very
professional."
And Harris insists that working closely with Spears gave him a special
insight into her personal troubles.
He adds, "Being up close to her, she seems like a very sort of
fragile, kind of complicated person; it must be very strange to live in
her life."
The episode featuring Spears will air in America on 24 March (08).
