HIMYM Cast Drifts Apart

Josh Radnor, the actor who played Ted Mosby in the sitcom How I Met Your Mother, has revealed that he and his former costars are not close anymore, 12 years after the show's series finale aired. The show, which aired for nine seasons from 2005 to 2014, followed the lives of a group of friends in New York City.

Radnor explained that despite their intense time together on set, they have all gone their separate ways and only occasionally keep in touch. He noted that he has love for all his former costars, including Neil Patrick Harris, Jason Segel, Alyson Hannigan, and Cobie Smulders, but they are no longer in regular contact.

Radnor did mention that he has crossed paths with some of his former costars in recent years. He saw Alyson Hannigan at his wedding in 2024 and has done joint podcast appearances with Neil Patrick Harris and Cobie Smulders. He also occasionally sends texts to Jason Segel, reminding them of funny moments on set.

## What happened after the show After the show ended, the cast members went on to pursue other projects, and their lives took different paths. Radnor co-hosts a How I Met Your Mother rewatch podcast with series co-creator Craig Thomas, and Neil Patrick Harris was a guest on the podcast earlier this year.

## Why it matters The revelation that the HIMYM cast is no longer close is not surprising, given the intense and often dramatic nature of their time together on set. Radnor compared their experience to college, where people form close bonds during a intense period, but then go their separate ways after graduation. The cast's drift apart is a reminder that even the closest of friendships can fade over time, especially when people's lives take different paths.

The news may come as a disappointment to fans of the show, who often imagine that the cast's on-screen friendships translate to real life. However, Radnor's comments suggest that the cast's relationship is more complex, and that they have all moved on to new chapters in their lives.
