Jim Parsons explained on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that being in a gay couple at his age is “weird.”
The actor recently celebrated his first wedding anniversary with Todd Spiewak, who he married in May 2017. Parsons says that although he and Spiewak just got married their anniversary of being a couple is a lot longer.
“It’s such a weird thing, being a gay couple at my age,” Parsons says. “Because [when we got together], you couldn’t get married. So now, this is our 16th year together, but it’s our first [anniversary]. We’re back to paper, is it? Is that what the gift is? That’s bullshit.”
Parsons also discussed his dogs and promoted his upcoming film “A Kid Like Jake.”

By WESLEY CASE | At 80 years old, John Waters is still the ideal dinner guest — incisively sharp, quick-witted and funny as hell.
The chic Baltimore native proved it again and again in a recent Zoom interview, calling from his summer home in Provincetown, Mass.
The occasion was the Blu-ray releases of two of his movies — the 1977 dark comedy “Desperate Living” and his enduring 1988 musical “Hairspray” — on June 23 by the Criterion Collection, which publishes restorations of films it deems culturally important. The Criterion stamp of approval has become the gold standard among cinephiles.
“It’s like getting an award,” said Waters, who wrote and directed both films.
