There’s nothing better than when an actor who plays a funny character is funny in real life. Luckily, The Big Bang Theory’s own Leonard, Johnny Galecki, has a real sense of humor, as evidenced by this story involving one fan’s sneaky pic.
When ‘The Big Bang Theory’ wrapped up, we were all a little bit worried.
We had grown to really love these people over the past eleven years, and now what happens?! Will we just never see them again?!
Well, that might be the case for their characters, but…
Luckily, the actors are almost all active on social media and as funny as ever.
So even if we don’t get to see Leonard and the gang on the big screens anymore (aside from reruns) we at least get to see them on our phone screens, and usually its just as hilarious.
Johnny Galecki is well-known for having a bit of fun at his expense and others on his Instagram.
He’s known to make a few sly comments about his own fame or celebrity on Instagram, which made his reaction to the car selfie so funny.
Another example is when he was a clue on Jeopardy.
The answer, “Darlene Connor’s significant other David Healy; Leonard Hofstadter” should have been a dead giveaway, and while it was clear the contestant who buzzed in sort of knew the answer, what he said was not “Who is Johnny Galecki?”
He buzzed in and answered “Who is Glick?”
Which is not quite correct. Johnny shared the video on his Instagram page, saying that the worst part was that the contestant who buzzed in was his brother.
It’s really not shocking Johnny had a funny response to this fan either.
It all started when one fan “did the most” to achieve a picture of herself and Johnny.
The picture in question IS pretty funny — it features an absolutely unaware Johnny Galecki driving in the next car over, as the fan tries to remain calm and take a subtle shot with them both in the frame.

She showed the behind-the-scenes process.
She actually had to film herself passing him, and get a screenshot of the exact frame that he was in shot. Now that’s dedication.
It had to reach Johnny eventually, and it did so through the help of Jon Cryer.
Jon and Johnny are longtime friends, so it makes sense that the Two and a Half Men star would feel the urge to share this tweet as soon as he saw it.
The fan noted the serendipity of it all.
Truly a stroke of luck that Johnny saw this picture despite the person who took it not sharing any of the same social media platforms as the star.
Johnny’s response was hilarious.
He shared a screenshot of the original tweet, with the caption, “MIss you already @babsamiga you sneaky and irresponsible driver. (P.S., I may or may not have been wearing pants.)”
As one commenter said, “He must have been driving Sheldon to work!”
So it’s clear that Johnny’s been keeping himself pretty entertained since the show ended.
But trolling his own fans on Instagram isn’t the only exciting thing he’s been up to.
He’s also going to be a father!
Johnny and his girlfriend, Alaina Meyer, announced earlier this year that she was expecting their first child. “We are absolutely over the moon to announce that we will soon be welcoming a little one into this crazy and wonderful world,” the couple said to People .
They revealed a few months later that they were going to have a baby boy.
The couple had a gender reveal party, and Johnny shared this photo on Instagram, captioning it, “A day I’ll never forget,” while Alaina was covered in blue paint.
Fans are also hoping, admist all this excitement, that Johnny will be returning to ‘The Connors.’
One of Johnny’s first roles was the sweet David Healy opposite Darlene Connor on the sitcom Roseanne , which he reprised on the series reboot and eventual spinoff, The Connors.
Congratulations on fatherhood, Johnny!
And congratulations on being one of the funniest people on Instagram, which, in my opinion, is just as important a distinction.
Okay, maybe not.
