Emily Osment Requested an Intimacy Coordinator for Young Sheldon Co-Star Montana Jordan: ‘He Was a Baby’

Emily Osment, who plays Mandy McAllister on CBS’s Young Sheldon, revealed she was an early advocate for intimacy coordinators on set—not for herself, but for her younger co-star Montana Jordan. When the storyline required Jordan’s character Georgie Cooper to become romantically involved with Mandy, Osment felt the need to protect the teen actor. “He was a baby,” she said, highlighting the age gap and the importance of professional support during intimate scenes. Her proactive request underscores a growing industry shift toward safeguarding young performers. As intimacy coordination becomes standard practice, Osment’s actions reflect a broader cultural change in Hollywood, where on-set safety and consent are prioritized. This move not only protected Jordan but also set a precedent for future productions featuring young actors in adult storylines.
