3. Jim Parsons
Parsons is best known for playing Sheldon Cooper on CBS’s hit sitcom The Big Bang Theory. His performance is one of the main reasons the show is so successful. In May 2012, The New York Times noted that Parsons was gay and had been in a relationship for the past ten years. His partner, Todd Spiewak, is an art director. In October 2013, he called their relationship “an act of love, coffee in the morning, going to work, washing the clothes, taking the dogs out—a regular life, boring love.”
