Sheldon Cooper, is that you? Fans of The Big Bang Theory are swooning over Jim Parsons, who looks ridiculously handsome in a new photo that he shared on Instagram.
Some supporters are even calling him the sexiest man alive. Parsons, who graces the cover of the magazine L’Officiel, looks very different from his clean-cut dorky style composed of a graphic T-shirt over a long-sleeved top during his days on the CBS hit series.
The 47-year-old actor has ditched his short natural black/brownish hair for a sleek and dirty blond look.
The beloved actor rocked a white and brown shirt with a beige plaid suit and completed the look with white sneakers while sitting on a chair.
His caption read: “In non-voting news, huge thank you to @lofficielau for putting me on their cover and letting me go in-depth about ‘Boys in the Band.”
A drooling fan had this to say: “Omg…why so sexy? Jim…why?How are you 47?! Where do I sign up for this sorcery?”
This follower praised Parsons by saying: “Holy f*ck ??? ?? Bruh, the best photographer can’t do much without a HOT AF model. ??”
Another complimentary remark stated: “Bazinga!!!! Jaw drops ???? the sexiest man, call People mag now.”
Parsons recently made the rounds promoting his new movie, Boys in the Band, where he spoke about how fans are now the owner of Sheldon Cooper, the character he played for 12 seasons.
He said: “He really has his own life in a weird way. That was something I felt for many years, not just about my character but about the show in general. All of us who worked on the show no longer had the claim on it, in a weird way, that the audience did, and the people who loved it and watched it did. Part of it was that we could never have that vantage point because we were making the sausage. But, some of it has to do with the fact that when a show goes on that long and is successful and connects with people, it sort of becomes their property.”
He added: “This I feel very strongly, especially over a year now away from playing it. The character of Sheldon is their property. I have a very unique relationship with that character, obviously. Everybody else has a unique relationship with that character that I can’t fully see that I can’t fully understand. It’s a beautiful thing. I don’t know that I would have it any other way, to be honest with you. I wouldn’t want the responsibility. Let him carry on in reruns without my having to help him along anymore.”
Parsons is showing a different side of his persona.
