  • I love that Jim is actually respectful about his role as Sheldon. A lot of times it seems like actors have resentment towards their most iconic roles, especially when that's all audiences can view them as
  • @takudach
    He's almost 50 and his forehead is shining brighter than my future
  • @xynn1823
    can we just talk about how cool his hair look and not to mention he looks good with glasses.
  • @meganroepke9601
    Jim Parsons is probably one of the most humble and respectful people I have ever heard of. He isn’t ashamed of his past roles and he is very happy with where he is at right now. Some roles really define a actor, and in Jim Parsons case it is Sheldon Cooper. He made that character. No other actor could be him.
  • It's so great having his husband support his career like that. That's a really good relationship. Congratulations, Jim!
  • @SuperBC1975
    So glad Jim Parsons did not give up a career in acting and stuck with what he loves to do. it has paid off for him and his fans.
  • @walawave

  • @MissMojito85
    I could listen to him for hours.. He seems to be such a genuine person. A person you‘d want to be friends with.
  • @NRam-ke6cs
    This man healed my depression. Sheldon and TBBT helped me a lot.
  • @irethena
    I love Jim Parsons. I wonder how Sheldon would react during Covid? It'd be hilarious if he did a little skit of it
  • @Cyberpunk_gf
    This man is almost 50 years old he needs to drop a skincare routine NOW
  • I have really bad ADHD and anxiety disorder so I tend to watch the same shows over and over...Big Bang is my go-to show when I'm anxious or going to bed. Sheldon Cooper and Amy Fara Fowler are my absolute favorite characters still to this day and help me so much to winddown and laugh no matter how hard my day has been. I know Jim Parsons is so much more than Sheldon Cooper but I thank him for playing that character <3
  • @lfgmets49
    Even if you hate the Big Bang theory you can’t deny the acting talent it took to play Sheldon cooper
  • I cannot get him out of Sheldon. I give up. Daniel Radcliffe is Harry Potter and Jim Parsons is Sheldon. It's like anytime he will say 'Bazinga'!
  • @Topromn
    Jim saved my life. I was in a relationship. Feeling depressed. TBBT just started and I watched it on TV....it kept me laughing and helped me embrace the nerd, gamer, geek, whatever you wanna label it. Thanks for bringing awareness and helping me in a time I needed friends
  • @itsronanbtw
    I love how he takes everything seriously and gives every character his best to perform it in the best way he can. He truly is an ARTIST.
  • @aklemon06
    Some characters are lucky enough to find their person to bring them to life.
