US sitcom star unrecognisable as he cuddles up to Katie Holmes for sweet pic – can you guess who he is?
A US sitcom star looked almost unrecognisable as he cuddled up to Katie Holmes for sweet pic.
The former Dawson’s Creek star is currently starring in Broadway play Our Town, by Thorton Wilder.
Katie, 46, is best known for her role Joey Potter in the 90s teen drama alongside Michelle Williams and James Van Der Beek.
The current run of her production in the famous New York City theatre district is about to come to its scheduled end.
As she celebrated the success of the show backstage, she was joined by a very famous television personality.
The film star took to social media as she cosied up to her co-star, Big Bang Theory actor Jim Parsons.
He was dressed in a dark grey blazer as he also attempted to go incognito in a black bowler hat.
Jim usually appears to be clean shaven for his roles such as Sheldon Cooper and for his part in Hidden Figures alongside the likes of Octavia Spencer.
However, in Katie’s behind the scenes snap he was spotted with a thick beard and an accompanying moustache.
The actress captioned the post: “The final days of @ourtownbroadway are upon us.
“I am so grateful for these beautiful souls that continue to bring Thornton’s words to life. I love you @therealjimparsons.”
Fans flooded the comment section as they were left in pure disbelief at Jim’s appearance.
One user wrote: “Jim Parsons w/ a beard !”
A second exclaimed: “Sheldon with a beard is wild.”
“Joey and Sheldon…never saw that coming, but I loved it,” stated someone else.
While a fourth gushed: “Two amazing actors and two of the most iconic tv series characters to me.”
The Big Bang Theory's most memorable moments
The Big Bang Theory ran for 12 series from 2007 to 2019 creating some pretty iconic pop-culture moments. Here are some of the show's most memorable moments that will no doubt tug at your heartstrings...
Sheldon and Penny’s holiday Hug – Sheldon and Penny’s relationship is a major backbone of the long-running series. It is never romantic in nature and yet incredible compelling. One of the earliest defining moments for their friendship in the show’s first Christmas episode at the beginning of series 2. Penny plans to give Sheldon and Leonard some “silly neighbours gifts” which sends Sheldon into a panic about what to get her in return, leading him to buy a variety of gift baskets so he can decide which is the most appropriate after opening Penny’s gift. Shocked to receive a napkin signed by his idol Leonard Nimoy, Sheldon gives Penny all the baskets as well as very big hug to say thank you.
Penny starts a business – In series two Penny starts her own short-lived business selling handmade flower berets which she calls Penny Blossoms to her co-workers at the Cheesecake Factory. But with the help of Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj she soon takes her business online. But when she gets an order with rush shipping which she can’t possibly fulfil all the guys chip in to help her get it done. It’s a sweet testament to how far the group will go to help each other out.
Ding-dong ditch with Carrie Fisher – The Big Bang Theory welcomes a number of celebrity cameos over the years, with everyone from renowned physicist Stephen Hawking to superhero legend Stan Lee making an appearance. Another major cameo came in Season 7 when Star Wars legends Carrie Fisher and James Earl Jones appear on the show and get caught up in a game of ding-dong ditch. Having spend the day with Sheldon getting ice cream and doing karaoke, James decides that they should end their day by ringing Carrie’s doorbell and running away – safe to say she’s furious when she opens the door.
The crystal scavenger hunt – In the Wedding Gift Wormhole, newlyweds Sheldon and Amy are left perplexed by a crystal gifted to them by Leonard and Penny. They insist that it’s the beginning of a complex scavenger hunt which will lead to their real wedding gift, but the truth of the crystal is even funnier. It turns out that the crystal has becoming a running gag amongst the friend group after it was gifted to Howard and Bernadette by, who then regifted it to Leonard and Penny before they passed it along.
Sheldon and Amy win the Nobel Prize – This amazing achievement brings the long-running series to end.

He finally acknowledges how selfish he can be, before using his speech to thank his friends and family for their support throughout his life and career. Penny, Leonard, Bernadette and Raj are all in a happy place when the series ends – Raj especially because 90s icon Sarah Michelle Gellar is his dad to the Nobel Prize ceremony.
