Katie, 46, is best known for her role Joey Potter in the 90s teen drama alongside Michelle Williams and James Van Der Beek.

The current run of her production in the famous New York City theatre district is about to come to its scheduled end.

As she celebrated the success of the show backstage, she was joined by a very famous television personality.

The film star took to social media as she cosied up to her co-star, Big Bang Theory actor Jim Parsons.

He was dressed in a dark grey blazer as he also attempted to go incognito in a black bowler hat.

Jim usually appears to be clean shaven for his roles such as Sheldon Cooper and for his part in Hidden Figures alongside the likes of Octavia Spencer.

However, in Katie’s behind the scenes snap he was spotted with a thick beard and an accompanying moustache.

The actress captioned the post: “The final days of @ourtownbroadway are upon us.

“I am so grateful for these beautiful souls that continue to bring Thornton’s words to life. I love you @therealjimparsons.”

Fans flooded the comment section as they were left in pure disbelief at Jim’s appearance.
