‘How I Met Your Mother’ Star Josh Randor Reacts to Fans Complaining About His Character Ted Mosby | How I Met Your Mother, josh randor | Just Jared: Celebrity News and Gossip

Josh Randor is separating himself from the Ted Mosby hate.

The 50-year-old actor, who played the lead role in the hit sitcom How I Met Your Mother from 2005-2014, commented on the amount of backlash he receives from fans over his character’s questionable behavior in the dating world.

“Maybe I’m robbing us of our own mystique or something, but How I Met Your Mother was a really scripted show. That’s why when people want to get mad like around something Ted did, I was like, ‘Dude, I was contractually obligated to do those things. This is my job,’” he said on a recent episode of the “How We Made Your Mother” podcast.

Josh also talked about the minimal creative control he had over portraying a flawed character on the show.

“This is my job to be truthful and bring this stuff to life. And it wasn’t my job to hijack the script and say, ‘You know what? I think [this] should really happen,’” he added.

Meanwhile, as for Josh‘s life outside the show, he recently discussed the unusual story about how he met his now-wife.
