Evidently, the costume was pretty easy to get in and out of, and it had a crotch opening. I shudder to think what they might have had to do during that parade if there wasn't a handy opening at the right level. It's good to know that there's a crotch opening in the Barney costume. It's not like they could have taken a time out from the parade to hit up a bathroom. In an interview with Vice, David Joyner, who played Barney from 1991 to 2001 while actor Bob West provided the voice for the purple behemoth, said that he now owns a tantric massage practice. Still, kudos to both Joyner and the unnamed costume wrangler for thinking on their feet. I probably could have gone my entire life not knowing that a costume wrangler had to handle a Gatorade bottle of bodily fluids in the middle of a happy parade. LOLĭavid Joyner answered the immortal bathroom break question as part of a Reddit AMA, and I have to say. The costume wrangler pushed a Gatorade bottle up the crouch (sic) opening of the costume and I had to aim, use, put on the lid, hand it back to her, all while waving and dancing on the float.

A lot of times when I see infants and I’m out and about at the grocery store or whatever, they start staring at me. “Children are more connected spiritually than.

That energy would always draw them in,” Joyner said of his physical performance (another actor did Barney’s voice). Antwaun Steele is known for Barneys Pajama Party (2001) and Barneys Musical Castle (2001). “Before I got into the costume, I would pray and ask God to allow his loving divine spirit to flow through me through the costume and let that draw the kids. Love heals and allows you to continue to grow.”


“Even when you have emotionally blocked energy, the best way to remove it is to remove it with love, and then replace it with God’s divine love. He is best known to be one of the costume performers of Barney, portraying the character for twenty-two years from 1991 up until 2013,. “Everything stems, grows, and evolves from love,” Joyner continued. Carey Scott Stinson (born Main Washington, D.C.) is an American actor and current photographer. Though his new line of work seems very far from his work on the PBS kids show, Joyner told Vice, “The energy I brought up in the costume is based on the foundation of tantra, which is love.” Joyner reportedly serves 30 clients, offering $350 sessions that last between three and four hours, and can include actual sex.
