‘The Big Bang Theory’ Cast Grew Close During Filming
While filming, the cast developed a tight bond. Especially Cuoco and Galecki, who ended their on-screen relationship in December 2009 after two years of dating, kept their friendship going. “When we broke up, it was funny because that was when our relationship on the show was hot and heavy. There were a lot of bed scenes,” the actress told Haute Living Los Angeles in May 2019. “We were a little like, ‘We were trying to end the relationship and it kept falling back in.’ We got over it really fast, and we’re closer than ever now. It could have gone either way, and I was really proud of us.”
As they played the beloved couple Sheldon and Amy, Parsons and Bialik discovered that they had a lot in common with one another. “Jim and I had a lot of nice moments together on set and I think one of the things that worked so well for us as actor partners, and maybe as producing partners too, is that we’re not overly sentimental as humans, which I think is helpful,” Bialik exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2021. “It was helpful in our acting and also in the way we kind of processed ending a decade together.”
Cuoco revealed to Variety in March 2021 that the ensemble decided to “go out together” after debating their options in show co-creator Chuck Lorre’s office as the show was coming to an end after a long run.
