KALEY Cuoco was left ‘in a state of shock’ after an emotional conversation with The Big Bang Theory co-star Jim Parsons.
The actress, 35, recalled the moment the Sheldon Cooper star called and meeting to deliver the devastating news.
Speaking to Variety Kaley recalled: “Jim said, ‘I don’t think I can continue on.'”
He added: “I was so shocked that I was literally like, ‘continue on with what?’
“Like, I didn’t even know what he was talking about. I looked at Chuck: ‘Wow. I thought we were — I’m so blown away right now'”.
After Jim’s admission, creator Chuck Lorre stated that the show would not continue without one of the cast members.
Kaley added: “That was the one thing we all agreed on — we came in together, we go out together.
“Everyone had their open feelings, and there were questions and tears.”
Back in 2019 Jim explained his reasons for deciding to walk away from the widely popular sitcom.
He shared: “I played the s**t out of that character, and some people could have done it longer probably — I don’t mean our show, but this relationship with the character.
“But I feel like we really wrung that material for what it was.”
Earlier this month, Kaley broke down in tears as she finally bagged two Golden Globe nomination after years of snubs.
The Penny Hofstadter star could not contain her happiness as she learnt she’d been nominated as Best Actress in a TV Musical or Comedy for her role in The Flight Attendant.
Kaley shared a video of her emotional reaction to the news on her Instagram page.
She can be seen on her bed listening out for the nominees and immediately sobs after realising her name has been called, repeating “Oh my God!”
