Neil Patrick Harris, better known as TV's pubescent doctor Doogie Howser, had confirmed to People mag that he is gay. "The public eye has always been kind to me, and until recently I have been able to live a pretty normal life. Now it seems there is speculation and interest in my private life and relationships," the 33-year-old How I Met Your Mother actor told the mag. "So, rather than ignore those who choose to publish their opinions without actually talking to me, I am happy to dispel any rumors or misconceptions and am quite proud to say that I am a very content gay man living my life to the fullest and feel most fortunate to be working with wonderful people in the business I love."
