Kaley Cuoco Used Indie Film As Excuse For ‘Pixie Cut’ On Big Bang Theory

Kaley Cuoco became one of the richest women in television history because of the CBS sitcom The Big Bang Theory. However, Cuoco recently talked about how she chopped her long blonde hair into a pixie cut and expressed some regrets about the decision.

The actress, who announced this week that she is expecting her first child, talked about her experience on “The Big Bang Theory” in a recently published book on the show. She recalled the time she cut her long blonde hair into a short pixie cut before Season 8. According to People, Cuoco said, “I don’t know if I was being rebellious,” in “The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series.”

“I mean, I did do it for [independent film ‘Burning Bodhi’], which was my excuse to cut it. At that point we were heading into our eighth season and something needed to shake up. I was bored and sick of the hair, and what’s funny is I thought by cutting my hair, I would spend less time in the hair and makeup chair, even though I loved the hair and makeup team.”

Cuoco admitted that the decision “bit” her “in the ass” because the short hair was actually very inconvenient for her. “I was like, this is the worst decision! What was I thinking?! I thought I was cutting off all this time, because I hated going in and getting ready,” she said.

“That’s why I was wearing my hair up so much in Season 6 and 7. So then I cut it and it ended up being more work because it wasn’t easy to style.”

Since Cuoco didn’t let anyone know that she was cutting her hair short, the new look not only required more effort from the show’s crew but also completely caught everyone off guard. “We didn’t have a heads-up on the haircut! When you think back on it, it was startling. I wish we had been in the loop.” executive producer Chuck Lorre said in the book, written by Jessica Radloff.

Jim Parsons, her co-star, had her back, though. “It’s one thing to change your hair for a play that’s running for six months, it’s another thing not to change it for a decade-plus,” he said. “At some point you just go, I’m going to do it and apologize later rather than ask permission.”

The “Meet Cute” actress and her boyfriend Tom Pelphrey are currently expecting a baby girl. Keep an eye on Thirsty to get the latest updates.
