Emily Osment requested an intimacy coordinator during the filming of Young Sheldon to help manage her feelings about kissing her co-star Montana Jordan. This detail comes from the new book by Jessica Radloff, Young Sheldon: The Inside Story of the Hit Comedy, which tracks the production of the popular series.
Osment, who played the character Mandy McAllister, felt uneasy during the early days of working with Jordan, who portrayed George Cooper. The age difference between the actors was clear at the time, as Jordan was 18 years old while Osment was 30. Osment explained her perspective in the book, noting, “That made me uncomfortable. He was a baby! A baby with a mullet.”
