Neil Patrick Harris Strips Down for Rolling Stone Cover

Neil Patrick Harris worked hard to get in shape for Broadway's Hedwig and the Angry Inch and now the actor's showing it off on the cover of the latestRolling Stone.

The former How I Met Your Mother star wears nothing but a bow tie and strategically placed top hat for the issue that hits stands Friday, and his fiancé couldn't be prouder. "He's so skinny, and I think that really gives him power," David Burtka said. "His body is crazy right now."

Everybody's posing nude!

But while Harris is now happily engaged with two kids, the actor revealed it wasn't easy coming out to his family. "It was three conversations," Harris' brother Brian said. "First he goes, 'I just don't think I'm going to date, really, for a while.' And he had some bad luck with the girls he dated early on. Probably because he was gay! And then we had a different conversation about how he likes girls, but he kind of likes guys too. And we had another conversation after that: He likes guys."
