Parsons makes personal confession<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI don\u2019t honestly know,\u201d he told Dean. \u201cIn the same way, I can\u2019t go back. I don\u2019t know that I would be where I \u2013 well, I wouldn\u2019t be where I am right now if I hadn\u2019t had that time of life.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd the somewhat self-tortured nature of it was part of it,\u201d he added. \u201cSo, I don\u2019t know what to tell people. \u2026 Like, I don\u2019t know how much of that is necessary.\u201d<\/p>\n
Parsons rose from stage work and small television roles to become one of Hollywood\u2019s most recognisable sitcom stars after landing the role of Dr Sheldon Cooper on CBS\u2019s The Big Bang Theory in 2007.<\/p>\n
His performance on the show earned him four Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series and a Golden Globe.<\/p>\n
The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 seasons, from 2007 to 2019, and became one of the most successful sitcoms in TV history. Parsons starred alongside Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg, Kunal Nayyar, Mayim Bialik and Melissa Rauch in the sitcom.<\/p>\n
