KALEY CUOCO INTERVIEW
In an interview with Ontario’s Belleville Intelligencer, Kaley Cuoco was asked whether or not in real life guys were as nervous around her as Penny’s friends are on The Big Bang Theory. “There has been a few of them,” she said with a laugh. “But we all have our inner nerds that we’re allowed to let free when we watch the show. So it’s a freeing show. It makes you feel good about yourself.”
Of the ensemble, she offered, “You want the guys to win, you want the guys to do well. And my character is so sweet to them, you just love them altogether. “
Sexual tension between Penny and Leonard was brought up, to which she responded, “I don’t really think our characters ever are going to get be together for a long time. We have to keep having that awkward, ‘I like you, you like me, now I have a boyfriend, now you have a girlfriend’ thing going. I’m sure they’re not going to drag it out to the point that you want to kill yourself.”
