Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki open up about their off-screen romance like they never have before in a new oral history about The Big Bang Theory<\/em>. The actors, who dated from 2006 to 2008, detail how they fell in love, who made the first move and why they ultimately broke up in the forthcoming book The Big Bang Theory: The Definitive, Inside Story of the Epic Hit Series<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“I had a very big crush on Johnny early on. I was so not even hiding it. He has such swagger. We were both dating people at the time, but I only had eyes for Johnny. Then, when I found out he had eyes for me too, I was like, Uh\u2011oh, this is going to be trouble,” Cuoco shares in an excerpt obtained by Vanity Fair<\/em>. Galecki says he “had zero idea of \u200b\u200bany sort of crush before Kaley and I began dating.”<\/p>\n

Cuoco and Galecki’s characters, Penny and Leonard, kiss for the first time in episode 6 of the show’s first season. It was the first time the actors locked lips, too.<\/p>\n

“All the scenes up until we actually got together in real life, it was obvious there was always something there. There was chemistry and we were crushing on each other. That was the whole first season until we actually got together for real,” Cuoco recalls, admitting she was “very nervous” when they kissed for the Halloween episode.<\/p>\n

“I mean, I was kissing him as Penny before we ever dated, and it’s weird when you have a crush on someone and you’re kissing them as actors,” she explains. While it took months for the two to eventually kiss off camera, it soon became apparent \u2014 even to Galecki \u2014 they had a connection.<\/p>\n

While filming “The Nerdvana Annihilation” episode later in Season 1, Cuoco and Galecki had to film a dream sequence that Leonard saves Penny in the elevator shaft.<\/p>\n

“It was not an enjoyable experience for me,” Cuoco says.<\/p>\n

“We had to be in each other’s arms \u2014 and for quite some time, because it was a bit of a stunt that we were doing,” Galecki recalls. “That was certainly one of the moments that I think\u2014”<\/p>\n
