Some childhood interests make sense in a different way as you get older. 👀
Neil Patrick Harris said that when he was younger, he secretly liked WWE, and that interest seemed to him like one of the first signs he was gay.
Explaining why it caught his attention so much, he mentioned the tight shorts, the oiled-up bodies, and the men grappling.
His memory was summed up in one sentence: “I’m not supposed to like this as much as I’m liking it. Which was kind of a sign”.
Today, Harris sees that interest as a personal clue, not as a rule for interpreting other people’s tastes. What he once enjoyed in secret ultimately helped him recognize something about himself.
