Jim Parsons has revealed he felt miserable and stressed at the height of his success on The Big Bang Theory. The actor shared the admission in a recent interview.
Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon Cooper for 279 episodes, said the pressure he placed on himself during the show's run left him unhappy despite major achievements.
In the interview on All Out With Jon Dean, Parsons explained he overworked himself to maintain success. "I felt that there was so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air," he said, adding that he made himself "miserable" and missed time with friends and family.
Parsons, who earned four Emmys for the role, stated he would not repeat the experience for any amount of money. The CBS sitcom ran for 12 seasons from 2007 to 2019.
