Why Emily Osment requested an intimacy coordinator for 'Young Sheldon' co-star Montana Jordan

I see what's going on. I get a raise. You can't keep your hands off of me. You got a problem with that? No, you're right. I'm way more sexy. Well, I'm really proud of you. No, there's a Bible study Wednesday. You want to come? Oh, wow. We really need to work on your dirty talk. That's Young Sheldon stars Emily Osment and Montana Jordan getting frisky in a bedroom scene back in 2017. Turns out an intimacy coordinator was requested for the kissing scenes in the otherwise wholesome CBS sitcom. Why? Their 12-year age gap. You see, Montana Jordan was only 18 during season one of the show, which made his on-screen love interest, Emily Osment, who was 30, a little squeamish. She revealed in Jessica Radloff's new book, That made me uncomfortable. He was a baby, a baby with a mullet. So I spoke to producer Tim Marks, and 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. It made everything easier having one there. I think it's something that's really important." Osment added that she didn't know if her younger co-star even knew he could ask for an intimacy coordinator at the time. Director Alex Reid also acknowledged they totally dropped the ball by not initially having an intimacy coordinator on the set, for the smooching scenes. Young Sheldon ran for seven seasons from September 2017 to May 2024. The co-star's on-screen love story led to a direct spin-off series, Georgie and Mandy's First Marriage, which is now in its third season. It's actually the second spin-off from the Big Bang Theory universe. Surprisingly, the original Sheldon didn't have such warm and fuzzy feelings about his hit show. Here's what Jim Parsons revealed this summer. Take a look. I look back now and realize that there were many ways, at some of the best moments of my life, I was miserable. I was not happy. I was stressed. I felt that there was so many plates I was supposed to be keeping in the air and that the success and the good things of life that were happening were only due to this overworking discipline and whatever. That was actor Jim Parsons opening up about the price of success. On the latest episode of All Out with John Dean, he revealed that he wasn't happy during some of the best moments of his life. The Big Bang Theory catapulted Parsons to stardom and earned him four Emmy Awards. He also took home a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Sheldon Cooper. The Big Bang Theory turned out to be one of the most successful sitcoms in TV history and ran for 12 seasons. The cast was honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at the iconic TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles. Parsons was also separately honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame during the height of the sitcom's success. The CBS show was such a hit that producers created a spin-off series, Young Sheldon, as a prequel starring a childhood version of Parsons' character. Parsons and actor Ian Armitage, who played Young Sheldon, recently reconnected backstage on Broadway.
