Hilary Duff OF HOW I MET YOUR FATHER ON HULU
John Krasinski returns for final season of ‘Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan’ on Prime Video
Q: What attracted you to “How I Met Your Father”? A: I’m extremely lucky to have gotten the opportunity to play Sophie. I am so attracted to parts that are extremely relatable, and this one happens to touch on just trying to find love in this world that we live in with all the options that there are, and how hard it is to meet someone face-to-face. And the fact that she has this lovely friend circle that, kind of, comes together in a strange way, it was all just really attractive to me. Q: What do you feel that you have in common with Sophie? A: Even though I’m in a totally different place in my life, I just felt like I was drawn to Sophie. She doesn’t give up. She’s kind of struggling. The odds are kind of against her in her career, but she’s leaning on this little pack of weirdos that she finds one night. And they run off into the sunset together and have all of these experiences that young people have, just trying to find their footing. It was just a great script. Q: What do you think about the show being careful to stay separate from the earlier “How I Met Your Mother” while also paying homage to it? A: I think it’s important to know that we are our own show. The original show was so amazing, and (the cast members) were so tied into one another and just did such an amazing job, but this is its own show. We clicked pretty fast. We were like, “Huh, we have a show. We did it. We look like we are best friends. We like each other.” It kind of all fell into place, and we just hope that that magic comes across when other people watch it, because we are like, “We think we did a good job.”
