Emily Osment made sure she and Montana Jordan maintained the best of professionalism on the set of Young Sheldon.
In Jessica Radloff’s new book Young Sheldon: The (Juicier-Than-Meemaw’s-Brisket) Inside Story of the Hit Comedy, the Hannah Montana alum, who was 30 when she began filming the show, revealed she requested an intimacy coordinator for her and a then-18-year-old Jordan’s kissing scenes due to their 12-year age gap.
“That made me uncomfortable. He was a baby! A baby with a mullet,” Osment said in the book, per Variety. “Obviously they were not able to get one that late in the day, but for the next few episodes they had one there, since the relationship between them escalates.”
And as expected, having a professional on set to guide the actors made a world of a difference.
“It made everything easier having one there,” Osment added. “I think it’s something that’s really important.”
Jordan, 23, and Osment, 34, played George Cooper and Mandy McAllister, respectively, on the CBS show for three seasons together until the series finale in 2024.
