Sheldon Coopers reunite
A collage is doing the rounds on X, which shows Iain and Jim posing together. It’s a Then & Now collage – the first one being from the Young Sheldon season one premiere in 2017, and the second one being from the upcoming finale. While Jim Parsons looks more or less similar, it’s the little Iain Armitage who looks all grown up in the new still.
The internet echoed similar thoughts. An X user commented, “So grown up, man (crying emoji).” Another wrote, “Time goes by so fast.” “Perfect casting for Young Sheldon,” read a third comment. A user commented cheekily, “Once the show is over older Sheldon will absorb the life force of the younger one, the show was simply a ritual to get young Sheldon’s body ready for the transference of youth.”
Jim Parsons returns
In a move that’s sure to delight fans of The Big Bang Theory, Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik are set to reunite on screen for the series finale of Young Sheldon.
The beloved actors will reprise their iconic roles as Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler, marking their first onscreen appearance together since the finale of The Big Bang Theory in May 2019. The details of Jim and Mayim’s appearance were recently revealed.
