Through all 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory, fans have come to love the characters that make this show iconic. Many of them became famous thanks to these roles. This bunch of nerds may have found love, gotten married, and started their families on-screen, but have you ever wondered what they are like in real life? They’re nothing like you’d expect! From Sheldon Cooper to Mrs. Wolowitz, keep reading to see how drastically different these actors are in real life compared to the characters they play on the show.
Jim Parsons As Sheldon Cooper
Since he was a child, Sheldon Cooper has had a genius IQ but little to no social skills. At the beginning of the series, he came off as robotic and crazy, but once his mom had him tested it became clear that he was a genius who found it difficult to relate to us “normal” people. Throughout the series, Sheldon learns to be more human and feel some empathy towards others.
Sheldon stayed true to his neurotic self and continued to annoy people around him until the final episode – which is ironically why he is one of the most loved characters on the show. There is no one quite like Dr. Sheldon Cooper, and the actor who plays him is much different than this oddball scientist. Bazinga!
