Neil Patrick Harris has become the latest cast member to sign on to Russell T. Davies’ upcoming series which examines the AIDS epidemic during the ‘80s.

Titled Boys, the five-part drama follows the lives of three friends who move to London at the beginning of the decade and the impact which the disease has on their lives as wells that of their loved ones.

Stephen Fry, Olly Alexander, Keeley Hawes, Tracy Ann Oberman, Shaun Dooley, Omari Douglas, Callum Scott Howells, and Lydia West are already set to star, with Patrick Harris being the most recent addition.

“I’m so pleased, and incredibly proud, to be a part of Russell T Davies’ new series,” he said. “This drama, Boys, is two things: it is an irresistible, funny, jubilant story of young people discovering their true identities and the unalloyed joy of living life to the fullest, it is also a deeply resonant exploration of a decade when so many of these lives were cut short by the devastating effects of the nascent AIDS pandemic. Russell’s scripts chart the highs and lows of this time so beautifully and deftly, it’s an honour to help tell this story.”

Boys is scheduled to broadcast in 2020.

Neil Patrick Harris has been appointed as the mascot for the 2019 Parade, which was attended by some 250,000 people.

The How I Met Your Mother star ventured with his husband David Burtka to the Israeli city, which is regarded as the New York City of the Middle East.

“We just arrived into Tel Aviv for #telavivpride. First time here, so much to experience. Let the fun begin!” Neil wrote alongside a picture of himself (sporting a new ‘stache) and David standing arm in arm in the Old City of Jaffa.

Believe it or not, this is not only the 45-year-old’s first time in Israel, but will also be his first time he has ever participated in a Pride parade!

“This is my very first Pride parade. I thought I’d start small,” he quipped in reference to the tenth largest parade in the world.

He further joked, “When they asked me to be ‘international ambassador’ I agreed only if my children would start calling me that. But they refused… I’ll be the guy dancing topless on top of the float. I’d better get to the gym.”

We hope he remembers to wear sunscreen!
