The Big Bang Theory co-stars' offscreen romance began with a humorously failed attempt at flirting.
I can't believe this actually happened to her…
Co-stars and on-screen lovers in The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki also found off-screen love along the way. Although it didn't last long and the couple parted their romantic ways behind the scenes within two years, they still hang out as good friends. And the way they began their love story off-screen was nothing short of as iconic as their on-screen journey.
As it turns out, even though the duo were smitten with each other from their very first meeting, Cuoco's glamorous looks just weren't enough to completely lure Galecki under her charms. If anything, even after she broke up with her boyfriend and tried to pursue her TBBT co-star through a very common "trap," the Leonard Hofstader portrayer wasn't one to fall for it so easily!
Back in 2007, when Kaley Cuoco was cast in The Big Bang Theory, is when she first got to know Galecki and realized she "had a really big crush on Johnny early on." However, she was in a relationship at the time and so was her then 32-year-old co-star, so it wasn't really possible to get started that quickly.
