Kaley Cuoco is opening up about an awkward moment from her time on 2007’s Romantic Comedy Series The Big Bang Theory. The actress recently shared that she tried Botox for the first time while filming the hit comedy series — and it did not go as planned.
Speaking on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Cuoco said she got Botox in her forehead during the early years of the show. At first, she thought it would be a small cosmetic change. But when she returned to set, she quickly noticed something was wrong.
Kaley Cuoco explained that there was a scene where she had to make strong facial expressions for a joke. However, her forehead would not move at all. She said she was trying to act, but nothing changed on her face. She later admitted she “couldn’t believe how bad it looked.”
The actress shared that no one on set directly said anything, but she felt self-conscious. She realized that the Botox had made her face look stiff on camera. After that experience, Cuoco said she decided to “calm it down” and not overdo it.
Even though the first experience was not great, Kaley Cuoco said she still likes using a little Botox today. She now gets small amounts near her eyes and neck, but she is more careful.
Cuoco has always been honest about cosmetic procedures. In past interviews, she has spoken about getting a nose job and breast augmentations. She has said that these decisions were about feeling confident, not about pleasing anyone else.
Her story gives fans a rare look at what happens behind the scenes of a popular TV show. While viewers see perfect lighting and polished performances, actors sometimes deal with personal challenges too.
Cuoco’s honesty shows that even big stars learn from mistakes. And sometimes, even a small beauty treatment can become a big lesson.
