Lorre explains why Young Sheldon will be less abrasive than adult Sheldon.
"While The Big Bang Theory's adult Sheldon, played for 10 seasons by Jim Parsons, is known to be difficult, derogatory and often downright rude, that won't be the case in Young Sheldon, in which Big Little Lies actor Iain Armitage portrays the theoretical physicist-to-be as a child
"One of the things we learned going in is that Jim has a magical quality," Lorre explained to the Television Critics Association's press tour in the US on Tuesday. "When he addresses the character of Sheldon, he can be despicable, difficult and hard on his best friends, and yet somehow he has a quality as a person that the audience forgives him. But when you take those same qualities and ask a nine year old to do that, it's a brat, it's not something that's very pleasant.""
I have a feeling Young Sheldon could get very annoying quickly as no one can compare to Jim's gentle charm. I think it's going to be shite, personally.
