No one could’ve ever played Sheldon better than this man
The - o penny. Penny. Penny hahaha
No one I repeat no-one
He IS Sheldon
Ben Affleck
@@alfiegaishauser5326 WTF
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
Exactly man! especially Jefiner Aniston. I hate her guts for resenting friends
jeez i hate how the whole HIMYM cast acts like it never happen I WATCHED YOU FOR 9 YEARS !!!
Sheldon *IS* Jim.. or visa versa, disregard the reality, be yourself
@@Kenji-ug5bo if you had people always talking about only one part of your life even though you've done a ton of different and more serious stuff you only get recognized for one thing it would get super annoying
@@mythicalashley9542 yeah i see where you're coming frkm, but you know they say - "Don't meet your heroes" and if there are some people who look up to him and he acts all spiteful when bbt is brought up, then the kid's gonna be disappointed with his attitude. Yeah it can get annoying, but that's no reason to hate what you did.
Sheldon is the only one I can trust to teach me about flags
I wish fun with flags was a real show ☹️
To be honest, same.. I like learning about flags even before I started watching it hahahahah
Fun with flags >fun
I’d live for a Sheldon RUclips channel 😭 I’d always tune in to Fun with Flags
Jim parsons presents fun with flags
He's almost 50 and his forehead is shining brighter than my future
lol yes
Unoriginal.........
He is almost 50??can't believe it !maybe is a good choice to end the show,when the age caught up they just can't carry the character any more.
He uses tretinoin
Such a clever way with words - LOL
He looks like a cooler version of Leonard now lol
Leonard but if he was your favourite cool high school science teacher. And tall.
*Panicked sheldon scream*
I miss the big bang theory. I'm depressed without it. Why does life suck. I want them years back
Taller skinner cheese eating Leonard
Jim parsons doesn't really age, does he??
how tf is this man 47 years old
Jim probably eats very healthy.
@@wolfferoni Have you watched the new Bill and Ted movie? It's SO obvious that Keanu has gone under the knife. He can't even smile anymore. His eyes aren't the same either. And he has changed his nose.
Same with Johnny Depp not looking 57 year old
for real? omg
Rich People. That's what it's called.
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.
Honestly, I can't even imagine the series having been as successful as it was without him being cast as Sheldon.
It's so great having his husband support his career like that. That's a really good relationship. Congratulations, Jim!
can we just talk about how cool his hair look and not to mention he looks good with glasses.
He looks quite handsome
also he looks really good for his age. he's 47 years old
@@philmartinez6701 age agreed with him surely
@@philmartinez6701 ???????????? He at most in his mid-twenties
he looks like a nerd in glasses
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.
I wonder if giving up on acting is why I'm a bitter woman..
He could've become a fun elementary school teacher in California/Texas and not have to throw out his whole love for acting.
He has 55
Funny how TBBT showed acting as a dead-end career and portrayed Penny as a stupid girl until she gave up on her actress dreams
I miss the big bang theory. I'm depressed without it. Why does life suck. I want them years back
I could listen to him for hours.. He seems to be such a genuine person. A person you‘d want to be friends with.
Exactly that feeling I have
This man healed my depression. Sheldon and TBBT helped me a lot.
Same, its just so entertaining, glad ur feeling better
This man is almost 50 years old he needs to drop a skincare routine NOW
say what now
Its called genetics
Genetics will always determine if you turn out looking like a raisin or not as you age. Some people have amazingly detailed skin routines and it does nothing in the end
Pretty clearly Botox. But I'm not hating. It works.
Where's Vogue?
I love Jim Parsons. I wonder how Sheldon would react during Covid? It'd be hilarious if he did a little skit of it
He did
@@nauaneborgesmoura1120 WE NEED A LINK
Lol
Why not? Tony Shalhoub revived his most (in)famous role for the online-only "Mr. Monk In Quarantine"!
He’ll purell everything
Even if you hate the Big Bang theory you can’t deny the acting talent it took to play Sheldon cooper
Surely
Who hates tbbt? Really who ?
@@gayathrik9536ig they don't hate it but it's definitely wrong to compare two different cult shows like friends and tbbt which is what most people do to bring both shows down these days
He was amazing as Sheldon!
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.
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'!
Yeah. I just realized sheldon never existed. Is just Jim Parsons. I know this can be an insult and I'm sorry but there is no acting here. He was just casted to the perfect role on TBBT.
NPH is barney.Rico rodriguez is Manny
Dani Gomezz I just wanted to write about Barney hah
That's kind of funny because of the three things I've seen him in, I think of Sheldon the least. Even though I watched all 11 seasons of that show, he just reminds me so much more of Henry and Michael
In the same way neil patrick harris is barney stinson
Jim played Sheldon with such a perfection. We should thank Todd for encouraging Jim to continue pursuing acting. They are indeed a great match
yeah
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
Me too. I just got diagnosed. Please hmu it would be nice to talk to someone who understands
Me tooo!!
This is exactly what I do everyday
I binge bbt when I’m feeling rubbish, it’s my comfort thing, so I can relate
@@nicolekinoti If you have any, talk to people who've been through it and eventually learned how to live with it. If you can afford a genuine therapist, do it. But, talk it out! Been there for over a decade. Still am. Slow process of learning how to live with it, but, then again - nothing life worthwhile comes easy. Wish you all the best. Sending loads of support and love !♥️🍀
It's so wierd seeing Jim not beeing the "annoying" character Sheldon, strange to hear his voice without getting all the facts stuffed in my ears. Such a great actor and a awesome guy, thanks for the memories you've left me with
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
That's so nice ❤
Same here, with a baby on its way, in an abusive relationship. I still say bazinga to her when she does something funny. And sing soft kitty.
it saved my life, too, and i'll always be grateful
You are all worth it!
cringy
I love that I see don't ever see Sheldon Cooper when I watch Jim Parsons anymore. Not that he's a bad actor, he is a legend. But I like Jim himself for HIM. And I could never confuse them anymore.
He does make moves like Sheldon Cooper character, but it's amazing to see his career going ever better after TBBT
Me too. 😍
I like Jim for Jim
I miss the big bang theory. I'm depressed without it. Why does life suck. I want them years back
I was fortunate enough to meet this man and i nearly cried. He is one of the most thoughtful, kind, and beautiful human being.
Some characters are lucky enough to find their person to bring them to life.
"Or maybe if I'd met myself, I'd invite me right in the trailer and spend all my time with me"
Such a Sheldon thing to say!
sheldon portrayed jim parsons really well in this scene
he did say to penny tha he would love to have dinner with himself
Right! Lmao.. I thought the same thing
I love how his career essentially began with a scene with Julie Bowen and then he and her ended up both being major stars in long-running sitcoms during the same years
Me too, it’s so satisfying for some reason
I could listen to Jim talk for hours. He's very sensible
I can't tell if that's Jim Parsons playing Sheldon Cooper or if that's Sheldon Cooper playing Jim Parsons.
yeah
“I don’t ever want to take something out into the World and say, “This is important.” No no no no that’s between you and your God.” - I freaking love that he’s so aware....
Him and Paul Rudd are the only white guys I can call to mind that look this ageless. Jim looks fantastic here
@@juliephillips7381 you obviously never heard of michael cera
@@juliephillips7381 add Rob Lowe to the list!
This man has won the genetic lottery. His telomeres probably look like the hulk.
you know it when he hits 100 and still looks like this
@@justagenosfan you mean when he looks like he's 30 again?
Besides genetics, it seems like he takes care of his health. As a person who has done research, and did a essay on it for one of my psychology classes is not taking care of your health such as dealing with stress can be a factor to you staying or looking or at the very least aging slowly.
How kind and sweet and humble he is! He's just so full of passion for acting, with very little ego getting in the way. That was just a pleasure to watch.
When they say everybody has a purpose in this life, this man was born to play Sheldon Cooper I can't begin to imagine the show without him
Wow, Sheldon has improved his acting skills so much. I mean he is acting like Jim parsons so well.
Penny's teaching helped Sheldon alot
Hahahahahaha
I think some of Sheldon's cuba Libre wasn't just cola light and after a few of them he turns into Jim.
Is it weird that I just want to, like, hug him and then have a cup of tea together? He's such a lovely guy!
yes, i want to as well
Amy: *Does Riverdance*
Sheldon: .....
Sheldon: Im the Only man you do that For.
I just watched Sheldon with glasses talk about his job for 24mins
His performance in Hollywood was absolutely incredible
I loved how he managed to swear in every scene
And even there is a Sheldon-moment:
"Shut up,I'm dancing."
I laughed so hard.
I couldn't agree more!
I just got my mom to start watching TBBT. We’re halfway through the 8th season and she loves it. It’s the first thing we’ve enjoyed together in a long time. Eternal thanks to Jim and all the other cast.
My mother got me into the show. We watched it and bonded. She died a few months before the season 12 premiere due to stage four pancreatic cancer. I thought it was poetic that the show went out the same year as my mother.
I genuinely enjoyed this interview so much. So optimistic, so encouraging. I’m a Jim Parsons fan for life
Jim is so amazing in everything he does. I still watch Big Bang Theory reruns on TV. I was a little disappointed he didn't mention Hidden Figures. That is my favorite movie that he is in.
Hidden Figures is amazing, fully agree
I think He still kinda talks like Sheldon.
He always has
He always has, he always will
Or rather Sheldon talked like Jim
sheldon talks like him because he is him
Always has been
Im genuinely upset that he didnt talk about his cameo on iCarly
And the muppets :(
What??
I don’t remember him on ICarly😭
@@CassidyStarke he was in the episode where Sam checks into a mental institution because she thinks she was crazy for loving Freddie. Jim played a guy who thought he could see the future.
Normal Heart was an important movie as well, in my opinion
@@catherinehayes4482 I remember that episode but not him.
I never say this but this is just magic. I have very bad depression sometimes and very few people could ever cheer me up. Jim Parsons is one of those few. If you're reading this, thanks Jim.
Huge oversight leaving out The Normal Heart. Parson’s eulogy are the end is heartbreakingly well done.
i was just about to type this myself.... i really would have put The Normal Heart as a huge career highlight for Jim
Who else wants to see Jim Parsons on Hot Ones?
Yeah, but the face to face one, not the skype ones. Just not the same
Meeeeeeeeee
I remember a few years ago that Jim was being considered to be Mr. Rogers in the role that Tom Hanks ended up getting. I still wonder what he could have brought to the table if they'd gone with him instead.
I think it would have felt more authentic.
I don't think what you heard was true. Jim isn't old enough nor does he look old enough to play Fred Rogers at the time in his life that A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood focused on.
@@gavinhenderson7250 a few good makeup artists could have addressed that easily enough
He wouldve been fantastic!! I had this exact thought as soon as this interview started. His build, his accent, his rate of speech are totally mister rogers!!
He would have been amazing as Mr Rogers
I love him. He is so genuine and intelligent, interesting, talented as all can be. Hollywood will never get to his head and that’s amazing.
His boyfriend being so supportive (now husband) being so supportive is soooo precious. Omg they are sooo cute.
I'm glad to see Jim Parsons making a resurgence as a serious actor, he is doing great!
the way he speaks it's so profound sweet and humble i just love him
Me too.
Jim Parsons has some kinda magic that make me feel good whenever i listen to him. God bless him with the good vibes that he gave me for 12 years as Sheldon and simply everytime he talks in interviews
I'd like to thank him for all the wonderful Sheldon moments we all enjoyed and will always remember
"you know what's interesting about caves, Leonard?"
he sounds and... somehow appears and acts like Sheldon in every movie. it's weird. but I love Sheldon big time, so I don't mind
Accept Hidden Figures
@@prathmeshandani5231 well... O.K, I accept that movie, no problem. But why do you aks me to accept it?
@@prathmeshandani5231 I think she or he meant except
@@johannacerna8521 yeah. "except" makes way more sense. How fascinating!
and how could I help my fellow non-native speakers of English? hmm...
My ex and me are not together (duh! :-))
Similarly, "except" refers to an item which is somehow not together with some other items. F.e. These dogs are all cute, except the ugly one.
Nothing
Why is Hidden Figures not here?
I was waiting for that! ...I guess he deems the part insignificant
It’s because he was an aerospace engineer 🤭
@@SilentArc I think because he played a closet racist and he had enough with closets? Don't know....
Yeah man
I was disappointed that Hidden Figures was not touched.
I really love Jim Parsons. I was glued to him in Hollywood. He was so disgustingly fabulous!!!
I love Big Bang so much, I binge watch reruns, it’s one of my guilty pleasures. Such a great show, I will always love them all!
The title makes me believe this would only take two minutes.
I miss ”The normal heart” in this. He was great in that!!
I was wondering about that
SAME
He forgot about his role in the muppets 2011. He just sang for like 2 minutes but he was still there
This actor is a legend and a role model.
I think working with Jim Parsons must be so rewarding. Despite being internationally recognised, he still seems so humble and down to earth
Id love to see him in a season of horror story
I didn't know I wanted that until now
Zachary Quinton did well. Im sure jim will be a great serial killer in it.
Brunette and blue eyes. Ryan Murphy's type.
I want a live action batman move where Jim plays Riddler. And Jensen Ackles plays Batman. This will be epic!
I've just finished the entire show for the second time, I just want to sat thank you Jim for playing the incredibly written role of Sheldon, the show would've never been the same without you!
I just read the article saying the scene in the pilot episode when Sheldon and Leoard went to sperm bank was cut out. I thought it was odd and ironic when about two hours ago my parents and I watched the episode of when the guys, Howard and Raj went to talk to middle school girls about science and Sheldon Googled the concept but forgot to add About science so Leonard and Howard (and I to the TV) were like NOOOOO! and laughed a little
I remember the first time I saw Jim Parsons; he was on “Judging Amy.” I don’t know what it was about him, but I thought, “this guy needs his own show.”
Wow really? You know him even back them? I remember watching Garden state a couple of times when i was veru young and after knowing him 5 yeast ago when i started watching TBBT and saying "my god he was in that movie?!"And after that seeing some clips on his role on Judging Amy
Awww! Look at how good a job Sheldon does acting as Jim Parsons! 😃
I love him so much...any role/character- he is just so relatable and brilliant at the same time in my opinion.
I can see and feel the passion I couldn't imagine him doing anything else he is truly grateful and this is his craft
He’s so handsome!! This hairstyle suits him well. 💖
Calm down girl. He already has... a man.
@@nostalgicstuff5552 she is just saying a compliment :)
@@suarezangie6163 I was being ironic. The "..." in the middle were part of a bad joke - read loud with the pause. But nothing against it btw.
@@nostalgicstuff5552 got it :)
Vanity Fair: jim parsons breaks down his career
Also vanity fair: lists basically the same two roles in the title
I mean he IS well known for those two.
Him: Am Jim parsons
Me: You're Sheldon Cooper!
He speaks so well and with such meaning. I like the way he thinks and how appreciative he is. Also, if you haven't seen Hollywood, you must, as it is brilliant.
I am so happy Jim Parsons followed his passion. I love the Sheldon character as much as Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, and Raj, loved comic books, Star Trek, physics, space, engineering, etc. A true success story.
He was so so good in Hidden Figures. I wish they would include that
I just love this guy over all he is so much appreciative of things that happened in his life and so calm
This man is so humble this video is amazing showing how much care he puts into his rolls is amazing
I have to remind my brain that it's not Sheldon cooper. It's Jim parsons
Jim Parsons is 47, let that sink in.
Your display picture perfectly matches your comment
Yeah I’m shocked 🙄😒
Cannot get enough of the man. What an amazing person. Love him.
I love this guy! Thanks to his role in The Big Bang Theory, I had a lot of joy in my life. Thank you Jim!
All these movies and shows are just Sheldon in one of his 43 parallel universes where Sheldon is not named Sheldon. Imma watch them!
He looks way younger than he is. He could literally still go to Uni.
You do realise that people of all ages can still go to Uni right......?? 🤣🤦
I've never met this man but I love him with all my heart 💖
We are so lucky to have this man entertaining and teaching us - he's a real gift!
He is the definition of someone just living their life, staying their course, and not worrying about everyone else's opinion. He never gets swept up in anything. He has opinions but he never feels he needs to shout them, he just knows them to his core and thinks it's fine if someone else has a different opinion. We should all be more like that!
i literally stan jim parsons so hard like i just love him and he is such an inspiration
also, the highlights???? yessirrrrrrrrrrrrr
I simp
no one:
me: SO SO SUPRISED CUZ SHE TALKS EZCACTLI LIKE SHELDON
lol
i wish the 'Normal Heart' movie was in this list as he spoke so dearly of another movie based on a play, Boys in the Band
Okay I was not expecting to see this and as soon as I did I clicked, we love Sheldon❤
I just finished watching Big Bang Theory for the second time in less than 1 year.
This pandemic just gave me more time to complete 12 seasons in 1 week + days. lol.
Just love the BBT gang
I really enjoy listening to Jim's voice.
You forgot Hidden Figures even if he didn’t had a big role in it.
His role wasn’t small though
He's 28 years old. Period.
I know you shouldn’t lock a person into a character, but he’s voice is just Sheldon. I can only hear Sheldon talking. I really enjoyed TBBT and watch it so often. Great actor and have loved him in other movies too.
I just love him, such a legend and such a great role model
5:00
It’s my Birthday and TBBT is one of my favorite shows of all time❗️👏🏼
Did anyone notice Jim is an eloquent speaker...
He surely is! That's one of the things I like about him ♥
Absolutely everyone notices it.
Jim Parsons is a wonderful actor and person. I could watch The Big Bang Theory over and over and still smile and laugh. He is the coolest!!! Love his sweater,!!!!
I could listen to Jim speak all day like this, I found it absolutely fascinating
I so miss my Thursday night with my TV boyfriend Shelly. He was such a delight and I still watch him in reruns.
