Actress Kaley Cuoco revealed she had a terrifying encounter with a hotel worker while blow-drying her hair naked for a TV appearance.
The Big Bang Theory actress, 38, was getting ready in the busy hours before Late Night with Seth Meyers when she discovered a man she thought was a hotel staff member in her room.
“You’re not going to believe what just happened to me at the hotel two hours ago,” she told the evening host before explaining how she had just stepped out of the shower and gone to the bathroom “butt naked.” to do her hair.
She discovered she wasn’t alone as she was ‘dramatically’ blow-drying her hair, sans clothes.
“I look up, in the mirror I see a man in my room!” she said to Meyers.
“What kind of man?” Meyers asked worriedly.
Cuoco believes the man worked at the unknown hotel and initially did not notice her realizing he was there as he slowly and quietly tried to run out of the room.
“He’s not running – it’s almost like you see a bear and you don’t want to move,” she explained. “And I’m so…” she said as she demonstrated how she was blow-drying her hair with her hand far behind her hair with her body in an “open position.”

“And I say, ‘Sir!'” she said. “So now he knows I saw him.”
This caused the man to flee from the room shouting, “I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry!”
The experience was so traumatic for The Flight Attendant star that she completely forgot about it until she was in her dressing room on the set of Seth Meyers getting her hair done.
“The hair dryer turns on and I immediately had PTSD because I had put this out of my mind,” she told Meyers. “I haven’t talked to anyone about it or talked about it.”
Meyers joked, “They say the best place to do that is on talk shows,” to which Cuoco laughed.
‘I had to get it off my chest! It was crazy!’ she replied.
“Wouldn’t it be terrible if I said, ‘We knew you were there tonight, so we sent someone?’” he joked. ‘We read your pre-interview and said, “Oh, it’s a bit lame. And Kaley is always so good when she joins in, so let’s tell her a story!”
Meyers also pointed out that the incident was similar to the one her character experiences in The Flight Attendant, to which the actress responded, “My life continues to imitate art.”
In The Flight Attendant, which ran for two seasons starting in 2018, Cuoco played a hedonistic flight attendant who got into trouble while traveling around the world.
