After the series “The Big Bang Theory” was released, Jim Parsons, who played the role of the brilliant doctor Sheldon Cooper, woke up famous. And among his fans, rumors began to arise from time to time about the sexual orientation of the idol. Some attributed him an affair with Kaley Cuoco, a partner on the set. Others believed that Jim is completely asexual, like his hero, which is why he fits so well in the role. And Parsons himself preferred to brush aside the uncomfortable questions of journalists and subscribers.
Here is the news!
But in 2012, almost 6 years after the filming of the series began, Jim suddenly broke the silence, plunging everyone into shock. It turns out that the actor is gay, and he has long been in love with a man named Todd Spivak. Jim fans immediately tried to find out everything about his chosen one, whom the actor had been hiding for almost 10 years. But the couple behaves rather modestly - only a small blog with photos of guys published after 2012 was discovered on the Web.
Will Jim fans never know why their idol was chosen by Todd? A few facts that prove that the guys are perfect for each other, yet leaked to the Internet.
Boston graduate
Todd Spivak was educated at one of the best universities in the world and has a bachelor's degree in graphic design. Todd is currently working as an art director and has worked on projects for such famous names as American Express, HP, The New York Times and Barnes & Noble.
Co-founder of the production center
The couple believes that there are many talented young people in the world whose outstanding abilities are limited by their material capabilities. Jim Parsons and Todd Spivak are ready to help such people, that's why they organized the Wonderful Productions production center, which will prepare new faces for television, film and theater projects.
Dog lovers
Dr. Sheldon in the series is ready to get cats in the hundreds. However, in real life, Todd and Jim do not dare in their charming puppies named Otis and Rufa.
They love tennis.
Spivak and Parsons were looking forward to seeing Swiss tennis star Roger Federer at Met Gala in May. They visited Wimbledon in June and sat side by side on a bench at the US Open in 2013. Obviously, both guys love this game.
Boring love
In 2013, Jim spoke at an event dedicated to sexual minorities. Then the couple first appeared together in public, and in his speech Parsons noted that they have “ordinary relationships and boring love.” This does not mean that, according to Jim, it is Todd Spivak who is boring. Parsons's filmography has brought him world fame, a star on the Walk of Fame and millions of dollars, but a couple of celebrities still behave like ordinary people - they make coffee in the morning, wash and walk with dogs.
Who does Jim Parsons love?
In his presentation at the 2013 Emmy Award for the role of Sheldon, Jim called Todd his "favorite person on this planet." Dr. Sheldon would say that the chances of finding a soul mate on this earth are equal to one in 7 billion, that is, almost zero. But looking at this couple, we can say with confidence that they really found each other.
When is the wedding?
Starting from the moment the world learned about Jim Parsons' gay sexual orientation, the tabloids are constantly reporting the upcoming wedding in the star's family. We were almost sure that after the Emmy Award in 2012, Dr. Sheldon acquired not only a figurine, but also a spouse. In addition, as the actor himself admitted, Todd Spivak has long considered their relationship "stagnant."
However, Jim Parsons independently dispels these rumors. According to him, he has not yet achieved the necessary stability in life, as well as financial solvency. Fans are perplexed - do you really need more proof of stability than $ 20 million a year? By the way, most recently, the star’s contract was revised, and now his fee was 1 million per episode.
By the way, in 2014, Jim visited the Ellen DeGeneres Show, famous in America , where the presenter directly asked the star about his plans for the future with Todd. Ellen herself at that time for several years was happy in marriage with her wife Porsche de Rossi. The presenter noted that 11 years of marriage (that is, how many Parsons and Spivak lived together at that time) is enough time to find out if you want to marry or not. Then Jim did not even find words in his defense.
Does Jim come up with excuses not to get married, or even plans to part with Todd? Jim Parsons refutes these rumors. And in support of his words, he shares with Instagram subscribers a photo shared with Todd in 2003. The caption below the image says that the guys are happy, but still not engaged. Perhaps Jim is really serious about such an act as marriage, and is not yet ready to make such a responsible decision. Well, if the favorite of the public is happy and without a ring on his finger, then so be it, the fans of the star decided.
