‘I never want to work with that person again’: The Big Bang Theory star has bad memories of filming

Everyone remembers Kaley Cuoco, who brought Penny to life for 12 seasons of The Big Bang Theory. However, his career goes beyond one role, however popular it may be. Indeed, in 2020, the actor returned to the small screen with The Flight Attendant, a series for HBO Max in which he had more creative control by serving as a producer.

Even if he didn’t like everything The big bang theory – Years later, he revealed that he didn’t like the writers’ decision to get Penny pregnant – that is flight attendant That he had to shoot some of the toughest scenes of his career in front of himself (sort of), as he revealed in an interview with Variety.

“It was difficult. I’m such a sponge and I act a million different ways with a million different views. Well, that’s not how you can do it with motion capture. So let’s say I played Cass every day and had to pick the play we wanted to fix next. Then I went to change and then worked in this new case skin against this muzzle. And so on and so on and so on. If I made a mistake, we had to start all over again. It was a really different way of working.“

This brought Kaley Cuoco Become somewhat desperate about the situation, even to the point of declaring, “You know who I never want to work with is myself, many times!“

Luckily for him, he didn’t have to film all of his scenes like this: “Motion capture was definitely a battle between me and myself. In other versions that we did, a girl named Monette Moio, who was my stunt double, ended up playing a lot of Cassie in a gold dress. He was incredible – a lot of things when you see it’s either me or him. He had a difficult job because he had to copy and imitate everything I did. But mostly I worked with myself.“

Side effects

The actor also realized that everything related to the second season of the series, which was ultimately the last, was especially difficult for him, to the point that he suffered on a personal level, but not only.

“It was one of the most difficult years of my life. Not just on a personal level, but playing this character who suffered so much. The first time I started therapy – I was very open about it. I started at the beginning of Season 2, just because I had so much going on before filming. It was terrible. And I developed a stress rash that went all over my body for three months straight and wouldn’t go away. I was literally on fire for three months. I could barely walkR.”

He continued: “Zosia My constellation moved with me. I really needed someone with me. I was really losing my mind. And then a lot of those scenes were very difficult to shoot because they were so hateful and sad and dark and there wasn’t a lot of lightness.“

Considering all this, it is logical that Kaley Cuoco In the end, he had no particular interest in filming a 3rd season flight attendant. His refusal to return also prompted HBO Max to cancel the series.
