Kaley Cuoco is no stranger to honesty when it comes to her appearance — and one early cosmetic decision left a lasting impression during her time on The Big Bang Theory.
Speaking on the Not Skinny but Not Fat podcast, Cuoco revealed that her first Botox treatment coincided with filming an episode that demanded physical comedy and expressive reactions.
Unfortunately, the results worked against her.
“There’s a scene where I have to move my face, and I just couldn’t,” she said. “Nothing moved at all.”
The actress admitted she was shocked by how stiff her expressions looked on camera, especially knowing how much her performance relied on facial movement.
The experience prompted Cuoco to take a more measured approach to cosmetic procedures going forward. While she still supports doing what makes someone feel confident, she now avoids Botox in her forehead entirely.
For Cuoco, the moment served as both a professional and personal learning curve early in her career.
