Jim Parsons Admitted He Wasn't Exactly Comfortable With Stephen Hawking On TBBT

Jim Parsons, known for his role as Sheldon Cooper on The Big Bang Theory, admitted to feeling intimidated and uncomfortable while working alongside the late Stephen Hawking during the show's 12-season run. Hawking's appearance on the show was a surreal experience for the cast, and there is unaired footage of him with Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik paying tribute to the memorable guest star.

Parsons described the experience as bittersweet, realizing how fortunate he was to have had the opportunity to meet Hawking, especially now that he has passed.

The fact that Hawking, who rarely made TV appearances, agreed to do The Big Bang Theory was a testament to the show's success. Lorre saw it as an acknowledgment of the show's worth and felt privileged to have worked and spent time with Hawking.

Similarly, Simon Helberg, who plays Howard Wolowitz on the show, described Hawking's cameo as an "out of body experience," highlighting the profound impact of working alongside such a legendary figure.

The Big Bang Theory was fortunate to have had many great guests throughout its run, leaving a lasting impression on both the cast and creators.
