'Young Sheldon' Stars Are Nearly Unrecognizable in New Photo
Fans were devastated when Young Sheldon went off the air in May—but it seems the stars of the popular sitcom are still keeping in touch.
Iain Armitage, who played the younger version of Jim Parsons' Big Bang Theory character Sheldon Cooper in the spinoff, took to Instagram recently to share a series of photos from his trip to the White House with his TV mom, actress Zoe Perry.
In the first image, Armitage and Perry posed side-by-side wearing winter coats, both grinning for the camera. Another shot showed the pair posing behind a podium inside the White House with press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre.

"Such a happy day for me!" Armitage wrote in his caption. "I got to reunite with my tv mama, Zoe Perry!!! We were invited to visit the White House and it was incredible to see all the Christmas decorations- huge thanks to Christopher and also to Karine Jean-Pierre for making our visit so special and for giving me the best excuse to see Mama Zoe again!"

The photos seemed to make Armitage's followers nostalgic.
"I miss young Sheldon!!" declared one fan.
"I'm so impressed that the kids who starred in Young Sheldon seem to be doing well and haven't succumbed to the pitfalls of many child actors. Keep it up! We all miss the show," agreed a second person.
While at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles 2024 Gala in October, Armitage opened up to People about how he'd been spending his time since Young Sheldon ended.
“I just got my pilot's license, or my student pilot's license,” he said.
“I hopefully will get my private [pilot’s license] when I'm 17. And I've been having a bunch of fun flying while I'm here in L.A.," he continued, adding that he "actually turned 16 with my grandmother in the plane on my 16th birthday.”
