Zach Braff Wants To Be Jim Parsons' Boyfriend?

Jim Parsons' gay reveal wasn't made with much hoopla, yet one fellow star is pretty excited to hear the news. What do you think of Zach Braff's Big Bang joke?

Jim Parsons

Jim Parsons, Big Bang Theory star extraordinaire, is gay. The man known to fawning fans as Sheldon Cooper quietly came out of the closet during a recent interview with The New York Times.

The Jim Parsons article notes simply, "Mr. Parsons is gay and in a 10-year relationship, and working with an ensemble again onstage was like nourishment, he said."

That's it, no word on who the actor's long-term boyfriend is, nor further blurb about his personal life -- but that doesn't mean everyone else isn't talking about it -- including fellow actor Zach Braff!

The former Scrubs star, who worked with Jim Parsons in the 2004 film Garden State, had this to say Wednesday night in reaction to the gay reveal:

"I have always LOVED Jim Parsons. Now I can finally Big Bang him."

Joining right along, Braff's followers shared their own two bits of hilarity:

"No you can't. He don't want no Scrubs."
"By the way, it says 'BALLS' on your face." (That's some Garden State humor.)
"Think about how that would make Chocolate Bear feel!" (Zach Braff and former Scrubs co-star Donald Faison have a longstanding bromance going.)

Zach Braff: I'm not gay -- I was hacked! >>

Still, one tweet in particular about Jim Parsons' coming out seems to have struck the loudest chord. @Beetommy's message, "In all honesty, I'm more shocked about Jim Parsons' age than his sexuality," has since been retweeted over a thousand times.

We have to agree -- how can Jim Parsons be 39? Spill the age-defying secrets, please!

Are there wedding bells in Big Bang Theory's future? >>

Aw, shame Zacg isn't ! My two favourite actors together!! :3 Oh well! Love them both still!! ?

Kind of dissapointed. Oh well! I will always be Jim's biggest fan! Love you so much!!!!

Zach Braff is so hilarious the only thing er than his jokes is him. On another note, Sheldor rules!

I watch Big Bang reruns at night numerous times and also the new ones. Jim Parsons is so talented along with rest of the cast! He's an awesome actor, I would love to watch him on Broadwy! Love him , his character, ad damn he looks good for his age!!!!!

He's 39?! Wow. I knew Kacey was younger than the rest, but I didn't know it was that much younger.

To be honest, I really don't care. All it makes me do is have even more respect to him. What I have learned from jim (not just in this situation, but the characters he plays) is to be yourself and go for it!:) I love you Jim!!! Don't stop being yourself no matter what crazy thing society throws at you!! :)

Great actor very funny show, and love all his fellow actors also, who cares about his uality as long as he's happy.

That sux I used to like him.he was my favorite character on the show. O well. Guess ill have to change the channel

Jim is a great actor, very talented and convincing. The fact he is does not bother me at all. It is his private life and I am happy for him! Carry on, Jim! I'm your big fan!

It doesn't affect me directly or make me better or worse about him that he is . It is his talent is what is important. I must admit though I have a bit of a crush on him and wish he was all snugly in my bed as I write this

Well, I'm a bit surprised... On the other hand, it was soo obvious... Damn, I still love Sheldon :) But his age is really a shock! He really doesn't look an inch like 40-years-old! I estimated him to be a bit older than 30, while he looks a bit older than 20... How does he do that???

It his life let him live it the way he like,s to. It is no body,s business what he does.

The bible says homouality is wrong. God destroyed a whole city cos of dat. But who are we to judge? The bible also says d way we judge people on earth we shall b judged d same in heaven. Let's leave the judging to God. Plus its bin pretty obvious Jim's ! But nevertheless I still love Jim Parsons!!!!! :D

Duke why? That is some hateful stuff you are spewing. Even if your belief system disapproves of homouality you don't have to be hateful about it.

Never miss the show, the Sheldon character makes the show and he is a brilliant actor, no one could pull off that character as convincingly as he does. Don't know why we allow the media to delve into peoples private lives! Do people really live such dismal lives that they get excited when some actor "comes out the closet"? There are more important things going on in the world than what goes on in peoples private lives- regardless if we agree or disagree with it. To some its not a choice to others it is. All of humanity will never agree unanimously on one specific topic. Just like people have the right to be and be defenders of rights, so so people have the right to not be and not be okay with it. The point is even though we are diffferent with different opinions, we need to treat each other with more respect.

Katy, it IS a choice, just not one that can be actively controlled. Yes, that is a purposeful contradiction.

To everyone who said that being is perverted: shut up To everyone who said that being is a choice: what the f**k is wrong with you if it were a choice do you think anyone would coose to be laughed about by idiots like you Parsons embraced who he was and if anything we should think of him as an even better actor his uality doesn't change the fact that he's awesome It may not be our choice but it is a valid one

I thought he came out a long time ago. Maybe it wasn't official. Regardless, this wasn't news to me. I don't think he was ever private about it, he'd just never issued an official statement. What's it matter anyway? I will always love Sheldon. :)

So what if he is it's none of our buisness so stop talking trash and trying to make a big problem out of nothing. BAZINGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lol

Well I say that being is a choice and he isn't a good actor anymore now that he's chosen to be . He was BEFORE, but now he isn't.
