Lesbian playing straight role


Couldn't get past it. She's a lesbian, has sex with women. She doesn't even come across as very feminine, the way she moves, her super short fingernails.

When a lesbian actress is 'dykey' - it just comes across and makes it hard to believe she's having sex with a guy.

I'd have a hard time believing Neil Patrick Harris having sex with a woman in a movie/tv show.

I didn't know she is a lesbian (I don't live in the US) and i totally bought she is a straight girl. A bit of a tom boy maybe but that doesn't mean anything.
And before I knew Neil Patrick Harris is gay I had no clue he is just by watching him act.
I think you need to forget an actor's personal life when watching their movies and shows. What will you say if Brad Pit does a movie is 20 years where he is happily married with one woman all his life?

You're right. I could never buy Christopher Reeve as Superman for the same reason: I kept thinking you're Christopher Reeve, you can't fly.

I saw Ellen Page's real apartment on YouTube once. So I know she doesn't live up there in the woods.

Because How I Met Your Mother wasn't wildly successful

Neil Patrick Harris does have a sex scene with a woman in Gone Girl. He even plays a man obsessed with a a woman and it was believable. You just have to put the personal life of the actor out of your mind.

I have very short finger nails...Because I have bad eczema and need to keep them short so I don't agitate my skin.

It doesn't make me less feminin. I am happily married.

How old are you?!?!?

Because you're a moron.

Anyone that can't see past an actor's sexuality is an imbecile.
