In an interview with the Montreal Gazette, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar spend quite a bit of time emphasizing that they're not very much like their Big Bang Theory characters of Howard and Rajesh.
Says Simon, "We have to come clean. We actually rely on real smart people to make us sound smart. Not only can I not help someone with the apps on their iPhones, but people look at me real strangely when I go to the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store and ask the staff if they can help me figure out how to get my email – because I have no idea how to do it. Sad to say, but, although I’m getting better, I’m pretty much totally inept on a computer.”
To which Kunal adds, “We’re both quite capable of saying some real dumb stuff. We're 100-per-cent different from our characters in real life. People do think we are really smart in real life because of the characters we play, but, fortunately, few ask me questions about quantum physics – which would fast prove otherwise."

You are a brilliant talent, complete with good common sense. Translate that immense talent onto your intellect, in turn recognizing that anyone can become successful for a moment, but not so many remain so over time. My mentor is Quincy Jones. Look at THAT legacy for guidance. He has been in the game for 50 plus years, has a net worth that would shattered office building windows when he closes his wallet, and he often flies commercial. Quincy defines smart as sexy.
