Do you guys watch โHow I Met Your Motherโ? This is one of shows Iโve actually seen rerun after rerun of and itโs always hilarious! I especially love how the character Robin plays up the Canadian stereotypes ;). The actor that plays Robin, Colbie Smulders will be gracing the cover of Fashion Magazine for the April issue. I asked Ashley to give us the scoop!

Personally, Iโm a huge fan of Cobie Smulders! For me, she is a prime example of breaking gender roles for women. Hereโs a lady that can make us laugh (howdy Robin on HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER), make us cry (has anyone seen SAFE HAVEN?) and kick some serious butt (sheโs Agent Hill from THE AVENGERS). Lucky for us Canadians, sheโs the April 2014 FASHION MAGAZINE cover girl! We couldnโt have a better Canadian face to grace the cover.
In the magazine, Smulders gets personal about her show business start, future aspirations, and patriotic roots.
Hereโs a few excerpts from her interview with FASHION MAGAZINE:
On choosing her role on How I Met Your Mother:
โI had to choose between three projectsโฆI decided to go with How I Met Your Mother, which was the best call. I wouldโve been so pissed off if I had gone the other way, donโt you think?โ
On Robinโs character development:
โRobin started off not being the funny oneโฆat the beginning, she was the girl that the guy wanted. She eventually went through some emotional growth.โ
On the type of role sheโd like to play in the future:
โIโm always playing the strong, smart woman โ Iโm looking to play somebody a little bit more fractured, a little weaker.โ
On her Canadian-ness:
โI never want to lose my Canadian-nessโฆand when I say Canadian-ness, I mean down-to-earth. I like being able to not take myself seriously and to not feel entitled.โ
I have to say, Smulders sounds immensely normal! She seems to embody all the traits that make us uniquely Canadian! Iโm definitely a fan. Iโll be picking up an issue of April 2014โs FASHION MAGAZINE (available March 17th). Will you?
