Neil Patrick Harris – who is 19 years Nick Jonas’ senior, made the shocking revelation in 2015, admitting he had a crush on the Disney icon. Appearing on The Wendy Williams Show, NPH named the Jo Bro member his crush, hinting he had a thing for Nick when he was underage.
“And he was really good-looking before it was kind of allowed to think he was good-looking, which was a bit of a problem. You kinda had to wait until he turned to be, you know, 19 to 20,” the How I Met Your Mother alum said. “David knows it, so I guess it’s not a bad thing to say…Nick Jonas,” Harris added.

He was 42 here,” the video was captioned. However, the fuss soon died down as several fans stood up with Harris, claiming he did not do anything other than being honest about who he liked.
