Young Sheldon gives us a glimpse at what some of our favourite characters from Big Bang Theory looked and behaved like when they were younger, and as a result, there are some pretty major transformations. The showrunners for Young Sheldon did a great job casting as the younger versions of the characters really resemble their older counterparts, with Mary even being played by the daughter of the actress who played her in Big Bang Theory!
Alongside Sheldon, we even get to see some of the iconic Big Bang Theory core members as little kids in Young Sheldon and tiny Leonard with his oversized glasses is too adorable to deal with.
There’s around a 15-20 year difference between the shows so we get to see them go from little kids to fully-fledged adults. So, let’s take a trip down memory lane and compare the young to old character transformations of the characters between Young Sheldon and Big Bang Theory.
