Sheldon finally did it. He's perfected time travel.

[victorias]

They nailed the casting for Young Sheldon.

Jim Parsons always looks so proud of Ian Armitage. It looks so cute when he smiles at him.

[arnaudsm]

He's more comfortable on interview than most adults will ever be

[sahrishmajeed]

The actress that played young sheldon's mother is daughter of the actress that played adult sheldon's mother..

You've got kid actors who don't talk much in interviews and then you've got this guy

[rodrigoperaza]

I never realized this but when he’s not playing as Sheldon, Jim’s voice is actually relaxing

[abdirahmanabdullahi]

I'm really impressed by how this little kid is so well spoken and articulate at such a young age, he has a sense of himself. I think this is the result of good parenting and attention. If you actually listen to your kids and make them feel they're heard and capable of making very sound judgements almost about everything.

it's cute how he called him "Mr Jim" 😂

[midnightfandoms]

Jim seems like such a dad to this kid it’s so sweet 😂

[punkin]

Did u guys ever realize iain wasn't even born when big bang theory started

[ElvenGoddess]

One thing that I noticed is that Ian is still earning interview skills and sometimes his timing was off on speaking, but Jim was good about giving him the chance to speak. Many questions were directed to Jim, and he still included Iain in the conversation. That doesnt always happen with young actors. Great interview.

It’s weird to see Jim Parsons acting normal instead of mentally

[learn--earnn]

That kid is way to smart for his age ...it's scary

[YummyFood]

So professional and so confident at such a young age. He’s going to do great things as he gets older with so much success in his life this far.

[babyarmy]

I love how patient Jim is with the kids interruptions.

[saikrishnaatmuri]

How are they together? Who invented the time machine

[reginengo]

Im scared this kid will actually be sheldon when he grew up

[LewysC]

That smaller kid actually plays an incredible Young Sheldon!! Like seriously he's identical to Jim Parsons lol

[arianapuzzo]

Iain is the perfect casting for a young Sheldon. He's hilarious and has terrific timing!
