Watch: Neil Patrick Harris presents the Oscars in his underwear

Openly gay star Neil Patrick Harris wowed Hollywood’s a-list celebrity crowd when he stepped out on the Oscars stage in nothing but his tighty-whities.

The 41-year-old actor and presenter hosted the 87th Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday night.

At one point in the show, Harris recreated a scene from the nominated film Birdman, in which Michael Keaton gets locked out of a theatre his underwear.

He pretended to also be locked out of his dressing room and having to walk back on stage in his underwear in order to announce presenters Miles Teller and Margot Robbie.

It’s probably the skimpiest outfit ever worn during an Oscar show, and we approve!
