Neil Patrick Harris’s “family and soul couldn’t take” him presenting the Oscars again.

The actor hosted the Academy Awards for the first time last month but insists he won’t take the helm again because it took up so much time.

He said: “I don’t know that my family nor my soul could take it. It's a beast. It was fun to check off the list, but for the amount of time spent and the understandable opinionated response, I don’t know that it’s a delightful balance to do every year or even again.”
