Neil Patrick Harris: My Teens Don't Think I'm Cool!

Neil Patrick Harris recently revealed that his rarely-seen teenage twins, 15-year-old Harper Grace and Gideon Scott, do not view him as a "cool" figure. He confessed during a September 29 interview that his children see him primarily as "one of their fathers." This perspective differs from the public's perception of the actor's career.

His son, Gideon, is currently pursuing acting aspirations and attends a professional performing arts school in New York. Harris shared his deep pride in both his children, noting that his emotions have intensified as they've entered high school, a stark contrast to his feelings when they were younger.

Neil Patrick Harris and his husband, David Burtka, welcomed their twins via surrogate in 2010. The couple married in Italy three years later, with the twins in attendance. The actor has previously spoken about their family's bonding activities, including playing games and cooking together, to stay connected.
