Easy, tiger! Ellen DeGeneres likes to ask the tricky questions, but when Jim Parsons appeared on her show on Thursday, May 22, he certainly wasn’t expecting to be grilled on his marriage decisions!
The notoriously private The Big Bang Theory actor was happy to discuss his long term relationship with partner Todd Spiewak, with whom he attended this year’s Met Gala in New York. But he wasn’t expecting DeGeneres to pressure him to get married!
“Are you going to get married?” Ellen asked, directly. Parsons hesitated, “I don’t know,” he stuttered, obviously surprised by the question. “That’s a hard one. You get used to your life as it is,” he continued.
“But it gets better when you’re married, it really does,” Ellen continued, pushing the issue. “Eleven years is enough time to know!”
An embarrassed looking Parsons reminded the show host that his boyfriend was watching the show.
“I’m not saying he’s been discouraging it,” the Normal Heart actor added, flustered. “I feel like I haven’t been enthusiastic enough about it and I feel like I’m a loser for the cause.”
