Jim Parsons honoured with star on Hollywood Walk of Fame

“Why I’m specifically here today, the biggest reason is because I had the chance to play this incredible character that I neither created, nor write for, nor put into a series.”

He added, “That credit goes to Chuck Lorre and Bill Prady and Steve Molaro. And the credit goes to the rest of the cast Johnny and Kaley, Simon, Kunal, Mayim, Melissa.”

Chuck Lorre praised Parsons, “I don’t think there’s any argument that you’re the pivotal reason for our success, you have clearly accomplished something that is beyond anyone’s imagination. The show exists all over the world and people laugh at your work and look forward to your work and it makes peoples lives a little bit better every day, every where.”

Parsons shared on Instagram a black-and-white photo, taken by Cuoco, of him, his mother and his boyfriend at the event.

“Very special day,” he captioned it, “Truly honoured. So happy to share it all with my mom and Todd and everyone from BBT… Thank you, @normancook , for capturing this photo. I really appreciate it.”
