Jim Parsons gushes over ‘Young Sheldon’ star and the pics are adorable

You just know if these two actors get in the same room, as they did at the Television Critics Association’s gathering, it will be out of this world.

Time travel may or may not be scientifically possible, but we think there was a little example of it at the Television Critics Association (TCA) gathering on Tuesday.

That’s because “The Big Bang Theory’s” Jim Parsons, who plays a grown-up Sheldon Cooper, sat next to Iain Armitage, who’ll play young Sheldon in, well, “Young Sheldon” starting in September!

The prequel spinoff shows the boy Sheldon, who processes the world a little differently than most people and is several times smarter than most kids around him, as a wide-eyed innocent who speaks his mind.

They were revealed when they saw Armitage, who recently starred in “Big Little Lies,” on an iPhone in an audition he recorded at his grandmother’s house in Georgia, reported USA Today. “He made us laugh,” said “Big Bang” and “Sheldon” executive producer Chuck Lorre.

Parsons revealed that while Cooper is super-smart, he doesn’t think of himself that way. “I was not an overly bright child,” he said. “I was mediocre. I didn’t befuddle my parents. That came much later, with my sexuality.”
