No show’s finale has faced as much controversy for quite some time, as the How I Met Your Mother’s finale.

Fans were left furious with how creators chose to end the hit show, with many saying they completely strayed from everything that occurred in the last nine years.

However, Neil Patrick Harris who has kept quiet up to this point about the finale has spoken out and said the show could not have ended in any other way.

Neil who played favourite Barney said that some people simply “never grow up”.

Harris went onto explain Barney’s character arc: “You want Barney to be the guy you bring your mum home to, but Barney is the guy that wants to bang your mum.”
