Katie Holmes cuddles up to unrecognizable star of one of TV’s biggest sitcoms – can you guess who?
Katie Holmes posed backstage at her Broadway play Our Town with a tall, bearded co-star, who happens to be a major television actor.
The cozy selfie was uploaded to Holmes’ Instagram on Thursday, with fans flocking to the comments to comment on her co-star’s ‘unrecognizable’ appearance.
He famously played a child prodigy turned genius physicist in a beloved multi-camera sitcom from Two And A Half Men creator Chuck Lorre.
The half-hour comedy premiered in 2007 and ran for twelve seasons on one of American TV’s Big 4 networks.
The actor’s performance on the show earned him four Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series – Comedy or Musical.

It’s Jim Parsons, who played Sheldon Cooper on CBS’ The Big Bang Theory.
The revival of Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, first performed in 1938, officially returned to Broadway in October after weeks of previews beginning September 17.
The metagame, narrated by a director, revolves around small town life in New Hampshire at the turn of the 20th century.
Amid a Spartan setting, characters break the fourth wall, travel back in time and even return from beyond the grave.
Along with Holmes and Parsons, the revival features performances by Zoey Deutch, Ephraim Sykes, Julie Halston, Richard Thomas and Michelle Wilson.
Holmes stars as Mrs. Webb, mother of Deutsch’s protagonist Emily, while Parsons runs the show as Stage Manager.
Our Town officially closes on Broadway after its matinee show on Sunday, January 19.
And as the play’s three-month run at the historic Ethel Barrymore Theater comes to an end, Holmes took to Instagram on Thursday to pay tribute to the cast and Parsons, with whom she has become very close.

As the play’s Broadway run came to an end on January 19, Holmes took to Instagram on Thursday to pay tribute to the cast and Parsons, with whom she has become very close.
She shared a photo of Parsons, wearing a black hat and jacket, wrapping his arms around her as she leaned close to him with a smile on her face.
“The final days of @ourtownbroadway are upon us,” the Dawson’s Creek alum began.
“I am so grateful for these beautiful souls who continue to bring Thornton’s words to life. I love you @therealjimparsons.’
Like Parsons, Holmes knows all too well what it’s like to star in a hit TV show.
She played Joey Potter on the teen drama Dawson’s Creek on The WB from 1998 to 2003.
And fans were thrilled to see two ‘iconic’ TV stars posing for a photo together.
“Two amazing actors and two of the most iconic TV series characters for me,” said one fan, who also left two red heart emojis.
Another wrote: ‘Joey and Sheldon…never saw that coming but I loved it’

“I love you @therealjimparsons,” Holmes gushed in the caption of her Instagram post; the co-stars seen on January 7

Holmes’ time on Broadway’s Our Town came weeks after she saw her daughter Suri Cruise, 18, off to college.
The teenager – who Holmes shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise – is a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University in Pennsylvania.
Suri returned to New York over winter break and even stopped by the Ethel Barrymore Theater to hang out with the cast of Our Town.
Over the summer, Holmes opened up on Town & Country about how “proud” she is of her only child and that she will miss not having her at home.
‘I am proud of my daughter. Of course I will miss the closeness, but I am really proud of her and I am happy,” the TV star said.
“I remember being at this age, this time of the beginning. It’s exciting to get to know yourself, and I loved that time, so it makes me happy to think about it that way.”
Katie divorced Suri’s father Tom in 2012 and the teenager is said to be estranged from the 62-year-old Top Gun star.
