Kaley Cuoco and Chris Messina looked pretty haggard while in character on the set of their show Based on a True Story in Los Angeles Saturday. The actress, 38, who recently sold her lavish nine-acre estate , was costumed like a harried new mom in a brown sweater, gray sweatpants and slide sandals with socks. The former Big Bang Theory bombshell appeared to be wearing minimal makeup and her long, dark blonde hair was styled in a messy ponytail/bun combo as she carried a prop in a baby carrier representing her character's new baby. Messina, 49, appeared exhausted as he carried large canvas bag, wearing a long sleeve red t-shirt with jeans and white Nike sneakers. The pair have been shooting season two of the Peacock show, which focuses on a couple who try to capitalize the public's obsession with true crime by launching their own podcast.
