Before TBBT and during the comedy series, Johnny Galecki dated a lengthy list of actresses.
Johnny Galecki Was Nervous To Raise His Hand After Stephen Colbert Asked If Anyone Was Intimate In Their Dressing Room During TBBT
It was an entertaining segment prior to The Big Bang Theory finale, as the entire main cast took to The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In this particular portion of the interview, the cast has to answer questions that were anonymously written by one of them.
One question in particular made Johnny Galecki extremely nervous as Colbert asked if anyone ever "hooked up" in the dressing room during TBBT. Both Kaley Cuoco and Kunal Nayyar point to Galecki and revealed, "You must have." Galecki ends up raising his hand rather reluctantly. "And that did not include me," Cuoco adds.
Simon Helberg adds to the hilarious moment, stating, "We all used Johnny's dressing room."
Host Stephen Colbert appreciated Galecki's honesty, as the actor was the only one to raise his hand. The moment can be relived below, around the 3:30 mark.
Fans Praised Johnny Galecki For Fighting His "Noticeable Anxiety" During An Interview With Stephen Colbert
Johnny Galecki had a memorable appearance alongside Stephen Colbert, but fans sensed the actor was nervous during the chat.
It was definitely interesting to see that way the cast reacted away from their characters on The Big Bang Theory. Despite Galecki's reveal, fans were praising a certain star for his interview conduct.
Kunal Nayyar Shined During The Big Bang Theory Cast Interview With Stephen Colbert
The interview has over 5 million views and has a near 2k comments. Clearly, fans had a lot to say and for the most part, it was praise towards a specific star of the show, Kunal Nayyar. Fans appreciated how Nayyar brought up other characters on the show that weren't there, like Stuart and Bert.
Fans wrote, "It was so sweet to hear Kunal mention Bert and Stuart actors. Felt like they were also the “extended family."
"Kunal is a genuinely humble and honest person ...he even mentioned other actors of the show."
"Kunal is the realist. Shouting out fellow cast members who make the show but don't get the limelight. Always team Raj."
Johnny Galecki Hasn't Acted In Years, But His Current Yearly Salary Ensures He's More Than Okay
Johnny Galecki is living in Nashville these days and still making millions thanks to his 1% backend profits from The Big Bang Theory.
As for what fans thought of Johnny Galecki, it was very much the opposite. The most liked comment related to the actor indicated that it appeared as though he didn't want to be there.
"Why does Johnny Galecki always look like someone just woke him up and pushed him on stage...every single interview."
In truth, Galeki revealed in the past a pivotal reason as to why he tried to keep his personal life as private as possible.
Despite His Many Relationships, Johnny Galecki Kept His Personal Life Quiet For The Sake Of TBBT
Credit to Johnny Galecki for being very protective over Leonard on The Big Bang Theory. Galecki kept his personal life private for the sake of his character on TBBT. The actor felt as though if his personal life was shared, it might overshadow his character on the show.
"There is a part of it that’s good for business, I suppose, but that’s the business of being a television star. When one thing starts to overwhelm or distract from the other, the work suffers, and eventually no one is gonna want to photograph or interview you anyway."
Looking at things from the perspective of the audience, Galecki felt like he would be ripping himself off.
"There are some people in our industry that seem to operate outside of the business in a way that I feel is more for a personal sense of value, and having that doesn’t validate me. From an audience member’s perspective, you are almost ripping yourself off. I don’t want to see someone on the screen and all I can think about is the divorce they’re going through in their personal life at the time."
The same held true for Galecki during his "secret" relationship with Kaley Cuoco. Once again, the actor felt like had the couple gone public with the information, it would've done more harm than good for the show.
Johnny may have had a point given that the couple split. Had it gone public, it could've made for a very awkward scenario for Chuck Lorre and company to deal with publicly.
