Iain Armitage’s Sheldon Cooper on “Young Sheldon” was second to none.
It’s hard to imagine anyone else playing the child brainiac except for, of course, Jim Parsons.
Sheldon’s backstory tells us about his journey to college before he even hit puberty.
For the actor, the education milestones were hit at the typical rate.
His portrait posted onInstagram looks just like young Sheldon, diploma and everything.
However, his degree didn’t say theoretical physics.
In an interview withNewsweek, Parsons said that he would’ve stayed in school forever.
“I really loved school, by the way,” he said.
“If they offered a doctorate in acting, I’d still be there.
It was so safe!
I went to grad school.
I kept going as long as they’d have me.”
To his past teachers, however, he still looks like the young schoolboy who dreamt of Hollywood.
Parsons credits his Texas days for making him the shining star he has become.
