In an interview, the actress and singer discussed her wide-ranging career and “How I Met Your Father,” her new sitcom reboot on Hulu.
Hilary Duff — forever young, forever pert, forever blond — found a home on the Disney Channel two decades ago as Lizzie McGuire, a self-possessed tween with an animated alter ego. After forays into music, where she went multiplatinum, and film, where she and her sister, Haylie Duff, racked up a few Razzie nominations, she stopped chasing auditions.
“I had been touring for four years,” she said. “And I really just needed a break.”
She married the hockey player Mike Comrie, and had a son, now 9. Two years later, in the midst of her divorce, she received an offer for Darren Star’s TV Land rom-com series, “Younger,” and went on to spend seven delightful seasons as the brash publishing executive Kelsey Peters.
Along the way she had a daughter with the musician Matthew Koma, whom she married just before the pandemic. She became pregnant again a year later. In her ninth month, with “Younger” newly wrapped, she heard from Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, co-showrunners of “This Is Us” (with Dan Fogelman) who were putting a new spin on the echt-00’s sitcom “How I Met Your Mother.”
That series, which ran on CBS from 2005-14, starred Josh Radnor as the mother meeter, with a supporting cast that included Neil Patrick Harris, Cobie Smulders, Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel. In the new show, “How I Met Your Father,” Duff plays the lovelorn heroine — a striving photographer named Sophie with a perky New York apartment that few real starving artists would be able to afford. (Kim Cattrall appears onscreen as the older, cashmere-clad version of Sophie.)
Duff had seen only a few episodes of the original. “I like murder too much to watch comedy,” she said. But after some initial hesitation, she agreed. The show debuted its first two episodes last week, with eight more to follow on a weekly basis.
