The Big Bang Theory star Kaley Cuoco has been left mortified after a worrying hotel room experience.
The actor, who played Penny in the CBS sitcom, appeared on a US late-night show where she revealed that she came across a stranger while blow-drying her hair “butt naked” two hours before her interview was due to be begin.
Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the actor, who can be seen in new crime comedy Based on a True Story, said: “I think, ‘OK, I’m gonna start drying my hair a little bit.’ Butt naked in my bathroom, in my shower, in my hotel room.
“So, I’m really dramatically blow-drying my hair – it felt like I was in a commercial. And I look up. In the mirror, I see a man in my room.”
Meyers, shocked, asked: “What kind of a man?” to which Cucoo suggested it might have been a hotel employee – but admitted she still is not quite sure.
“He doesn’t run,” she continued. “It’s almost like when you see a bear and you don’t want to move.”
Cuoco, who said the experience was “crazy”, revealed her hilarious response to the silent man in her room, telling Meyers: “And then I go, ‘Sir?’” which then prompted the man to spring into action.
The actor went on to say that the man apologised before running out, leaving her “standing there with the blow-dryer on”, shaken and alarmed by the experience.
“What was that? Like, I think he worked at the hotel. I hope!” the actor added.
Meyers noted that “the timing was right” as it provided Cuoco with a good anecdote to tell on the chat show, with Cuoco stating: “It felt fake – like a movie. I had to tell you because you can’t make this up. It just happened!’
TV viewers recently hit out at the idea of another Big Bang Theory spin-off after the surfacing of new details.
