Kaley Cuoco Admits to Flirting with Johnny Galecki Over a ‘Bug’ Incident on Set

 

Even after their romantic relationship ended, Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki’s flirtatious banter never truly faded. In a recent interview, Cuoco shared a humorous behind-the-scenes moment involving a bug, revealing how she couldn’t help but flirt with her former flame and co-star.

Cuoco recalled the amusing incident that took place during a break on *The Big Bang Theory* set. “There was a bug in my trailer, and of course, I freaked out,” she shared with a laugh. “I called Johnny over to help, and while he was being a total gentleman, I started flirting with him, just to mess with him a little.”

According to Cuoco, Galecki, always quick with a comeback, handled the situation with his trademark humor. “He looked at me, and with the most deadpan expression, said, ‘Kaley, I’m here to get rid of the bug, not be flirted with.’ We both just cracked up.”

The exchange quickly became an inside joke between the two actors, a testament to their ongoing close friendship. Cuoco and Galecki, who dated for two years during the early seasons of *The Big Bang Theory*, have maintained a lighthearted and supportive dynamic both on and off the screen.

Cuoco reflected on how easy it is for the two to slip back into their playful ways, even years after their split. “Johnny and I just have that kind of connection,” she explained. “We can joke around, flirt, and laugh, and it’s never weird. It’s always fun.”

The actress also pointed out that their ability to joke about moments like the “bug incident” has helped keep their friendship strong over the years. “We’ve never lost that sense of fun with each other, and I think that’s why we’ve stayed so close,” she said.

For fans of *The Big Bang Theory*, this playful bug incident is just another example of the undeniable chemistry and deep bond that Cuoco and Galecki continue to share, long after their days of playing Leonard and Penny together.
