Jim Parsons looked almost unrecognisable at the 2026 Tony Awards in New York on Sunday night, stepping out in full drag for a gender-bending Titanique performance before later saying it was 'the most fun' he has ever had in his career. The former The Big Bang Theory star, 53, brought a burst of camp to Radio City Music Hall, and he seemed to be enjoying every second of it.
For context, Parsons is still best known to millions as Sheldon Cooper, the hyper-rational physicist from The Big Bang Theory. Since that series ended, he has kept busy on stage and screen, but Titanique marks a sharp turn into something far looser, stranger and far more theatrical, with Parsons playing Ruth DeWitt Bukater, the snobbish mother of Rose, in a parody musical built around Céline Dion songs.
