As the beloved series Young Sheldon gears up for its final season, young actor Iain Armitage takes a moment to reflect on the incredible journey he has been on for the past seven years. From auditions at the tender age of 8 to embodying the iconic younger version of Jim Parsons' character Sheldon Cooper, Armitage acknowledges the incredible privilege of essentially growing up on the hit CBS sitcom.
To think that Young Sheldon has been a significant part of Armitage's life for half of his 15 years is a mind-boggling revelation. However, rather than feeling overwhelmed, he expresses immense joy and gratitude for the experience. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Armitage shares, 'It's been half my life, which is kind of wild to think about, but just so fun, so wonderful, and I couldn't have asked for a better way to grow up.'
