The Big Bang Theory buddies, Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco, are great friends in real life as well. Much like their on-screen personas, they often engage in playful banter, leading to some hilariously memorable moments during interviews. Thus, during the 2017 SAG Awards, Cuoco gave Parsons a tough time for opting to sit with the Hidden Figures group instead of The Big Bang Theory cast throughout the night in a hilarious red carpet interview.
This is why Kaley Cuoco was mad at Jim Parsons!
Jim Parsons was a huge name, at the 2017 SAG Awards, receiving nominations for both The Big Bang Theory in the category of Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series, and Hidden Figures for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. He was truly having a gala time at the event.
The audience received an added bonus when he came on in an interview alongside his co-star and longtime friend, Kaley Cuoco, at the beginning of the event. The duo truly excels in conducting a lively interview, and true to their style, they didn’t disappoint here either. The light banter and teasing between them escalated into a full-blown argument, all in good fun, when Cuoco discovered that Parsons would be ditching The Big Bang Theory group for the entire night.
In the E! News red carpet interview, Parsons tried to defuse the situation as quickly as possible by saying,
“No. I wasn’t only part of that decision. You shh up. You can’t sit in both, this is so awkward.”
To which the Penny actress replied,
“Do you hear this? He just moves right into the Hidden Figures table. OK! This is news to me, if you can’t tell.”
It was later revealed that Parsons had already informed the cast members a week prior to the event about his sitting situation, and Cuoco’s actions were simply her way of teasing her best friend just before the big event.
Jim Parsons and Kaley Cuoco Are Great Friends in Real Life!
After the end of the 12-season series, the two have continued to remain in touch. The bond they share has always been special. Although their on-screen personas couldn’t be more different, a beautiful friendship blossomed between them, much like in real life.
They have continuously supported and rooted for one another at every step, regardless of how big or small. One such incident was when Kaley Cuoco received her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, Parsons, had a heartfelt speech ready to honor her achievement (via celebritychaos.tv). He said,
“The biggest treat for me was that, as much as I got to work with her at that point — this was early on, like season two — I just was floored at what an incredible scene partner she was and is.”
On the other hand, Kaley Cuoco once presented her friend with a Golden Globe and couldn’t have been any prouder. All in all, the two are as sweet as they can be, and a friendship like theirs is truly rare in Hollywood. They continue to remain the best of friends.
All seasons of The Big Bang Theory are available on Max to stream.
