Jim Parsons’ days as Sheldon Cooper in The Big Bang Theory have ended, and that is forever.
The actor, who played the role of the physics genius on all 12 seasons of the series and narrated Young Sheldon, got candid about reprising his popular character again, saying that it'll only happen through "reincarnation" in the "next lifetime."
"Look, never say never to anything," Parsons told E! News at the Drama League Awards May 17. "Life is long, God willing. But I don't think so."
Parsons also talked about how he felt reprising his role as adult Sheldon in the finale of the prequel series Young Sheldon on May 16.
"It was very, very special to do that," Parsons told the outlet in his interview. "The feeling today is kind of odd, you know? It's the second time now, because when we ended The Big Bang Theory, it felt like this, too. A little bit different."
"You shoot that final episode and it's wrapped for you," he explained, "and then a couple of months later, it wraps for the rest of the world and it's a very weird feeling to flood over you again like that."
