All of us have gross, bizarre habits. I am not going to put in writing mine down right here, as a result of I am a woman and no person must know that, however we all know that we do. Sadly for Johnny Galecki, his “Large Bang Concept” co-star Kunal Nayyar — who did finally play Raj Koothrappali on the sequence after briefly being fired earlier than it started filming — has put all of Galecki’s soiled little secrets and techniques on blast. Effectively, he is put no less than one on blast — particularly, the actually gross means that Galecki disposed of his chewing gum on the set of “The Large Bang Concept.”
Throughout an look on the British present “Sunday Brunch” (through The Unbiased UK) in February of 2022 to advertise his present “Suspicion,” Nayyar talked a bit about how they filmed all these stairwell scenes earlier than revealing one thing unbelievably disgusting about Galecki. Requested about what was previous the stairwell set, Nayyar was fairly blunt: “Down there’s nothing. There is a wall there the place Johnny Galecki, for 12 years, would stick his chewing gum on. I am not joking.”
Not solely that, however Nayyar had a gross sales pitch: in the event you actually, actually love Galecki as Leonard Hofstadter, you may in all probability discover a few of that gum on Google. (Possibly. I’ve not confirmed this, and I am undecided I wish to.) “So if any of you’re Johnny Galecki followers and also you need his dried chewing gum, I’m certain it is on the market someplace on the web. Welcome to Hollywood,” Nayyar joked. This does clear up one factor for me, I suppose; seems Galecki does know tips on how to chew like a human being, which I actually doubted as a result of how horrible he’s at “consuming” on digicam.
Who did Kunal Nayyar and Johnny Galecki play on The Large Bang Concept?
Let’s again up for a second. Gross on-set habits apart, who did Johnny Galecki and Kunal Nayyar play on “The Large Bang Concept?” Alongside Jim Parsons, Kaley Cuoco, and Simon Helberg — who play Sheldon Cooper, Leonard’s eventual spouse Penny Hofstadter, and Howard Wolowitz — Galecki and Nayyar play Leonard Hofstadter and Raj Koothrappali, two of the present’s authentic characters and two of Sheldon’s shut associates. Within the present’s pilot, Penny strikes in throughout the corridor from Leonard and Sheldon, who share an condo, and he or she instantly turns into an object of fascination among the many group. Leonard muses that their infants will probably be “sensible and delightful,” Howard is simply typically an enormous creep to and about Penny, and Raj is rendered fully silent due to a very odd trait he is given by the writers (selective mutism round girls until he is drunk).
The 2 do develop quite a bit all through the present, although. Leonard stops treating Penny like an object and extra like an individual; as she turns into a official a part of the group, the 2 pursue a romance and finally marry. Raj has a sequence of relationships the place he proves that he can discuss in entrance of ladies, however in an unsatisfying flip of occasions, he ends the sequence fully alone. Due to their performances as Leonard and Raj, Galecki and Nayyar undoubtedly earned their respective locations within the sitcom corridor of fame — though now we all know that, when the cameras weren’t rolling, Galecki was simply grossing everyone out together with his discarded gum.
“The Large Bang Concept” is streaming on Max now.
