Jim Parsons describes the ending of 'Young Sheldon' as a 'gift'

Jim Parsons revisited his iconic role from The Big Bang Theory in the finale of the Young Sheldon spinoff series.

Parson, famous for his portrayal of Sheldon Cooper, also serves as the show's executive producer and narrator.

During an interview with PEOPLE Magazine, the 51-year-old actor expressed that returning to the character was a “gift” and a “special” experience.

He said: “I felt a slight hesitation when they first asked me, just when I thought, I don't really want to revisit the character, but the way they wrote it was so beautiful that it ended up being like this little extra coda or whatever. for my experience with the character.”

“It was the gift of a second layer of losing control in a way I had never seen coming, and it was a real pleasure,” he added.

Young Sheldon has followed the early years of Sheldon Cooper, with 15-year-old Iain Armitage playing the younger version of the character.

Reflecting on Armitage's future, Parsons said: “He's so smart. He doesn't need any [advice]. It has good orientation. “He could do anything.”
