Alyson Hannigan Was Turned Down For Bar Work

Found this today, thought it was adorable:

Alyson Hannigan was turned down for a job as a bartender when she couldn’t get work as an actress because she looked too young. During a lean period in her acting career, the 33-year-old star took a course and tried to get a job pouring drinks at Hollywood hotspots.

The How I Met Your Mother star tells the New York Post, “I never got hired anywhere. I looked 12. They said, ‘Honey, people are just gonna laugh when you try to card them (ask for their identification) – they’re gonna want to card you.”

PS. In that photo, Lily is holding a “World’s Greatest Couple” cup that has a photo of her and Barney on it. I don’t remember that from the eponymous episode, do you?

PPS. While looking for Hannigan pictures I found a few nice ones. Check it:

    It’s nice to know that. She is awesome.

    Haha, the reason why you don’t remember is because it was never in that episode. I guess it was like an ‘inside joke’ while the were shooting.

    I would like to have that cup :(
