You've seen Jim Parsons in plenty of things, but you absolutely know him from his role as Sheldon Cooper on the iconic TV sitcom The Big Bang Theory.

To say The Big Bang Theory was a hit would be an understatement. The CBS show ran for an astonishing 12 seasons, and Jim won a Best Actor Emmy an equally astonishing four times for his portrayal of Sheldon. He also won a Golden Globe in 2011.

But during a recent appearance on the All Out With Jon Dean podcast, Jim revealed that the success he enjoyed during his days on The Big Bang Theory was far from what it was cracked up to be.

“I look back now and realize that there were many ways, at some of the best moments of my life, I was miserable,” he said. “I was not happy. I was stressed.”

“I felt that there was so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air and that the success and the good things of life that were happening were only due to this overworking...discipline and whatever. Maybe to a degree that was true. I don’t know. I can’t say because that’s how I was.”

Due to his experiences at the time, Jim also seemed to throw some cold water on the notion that he'd ever return to the role that made him a household name. "I wouldn't do that again and for any amount of money," he said. "It was stressful and miserable at times. I made myself miserable."

When Jon asked Jim if his "work ethic" played a role in the stress he experienced, he replied, “It translated in part into a work ethic, but it was really just obsessive behavior basically. Yes, I was disciplined. Yes, I had a good work ethic, but a lot of it was because it was kind of OCD in nature.”

“I had a list of things basically in my head that I had to get done in order to be comfortable and know that I could do my job right, which I don’t think was true."

Jim went on to say that he believes he missed out on "tons of life" in the process, but he also acknowledged that "I wouldn’t be where I am right now if I hadn’t had that time of life, and that somewhat self-tortured nature was part of it."

“It’s evolving, and it gets better all the time," Jim added in regards to his relationship to the fame that he experienced. "What I feel is better, what I feel is healthier. It’s not something that I think probably anybody, but I was certainly not equipped to, looking back.”

Jim also noted that he views said fame as a “very odd psychological thing.” “This is not a complaint," he clarified. "This is just me having the grace to myself to admit it and look at it cleanly, or as clearly as I can. It is a weird feeling to know people know you when you walk into a room, but you don’t know them.”

On social media, commenters praised Jim's honesty in regard to how he really felt during such a specific time in his life.
"Proof positive that happiness is a daily choice and money does not buy it," one user wrote.

"This is a good reminder that we never truly know what people are dealing with behind closed doors, no matter how successful they look," another commenter wrote.

"some people cannot handle being famous," a commenter offered. "This is a perfect example."
