## Summary

Emily Osment requested an intimacy coordinator while filming kissing scenes with Montana Jordan on “Young Sheldon”, saying their 12-year age gap made her uncomfortable. The account has renewed attention on how productions support actors during intimate scenes, including when there are no sex scenes.

Jordan was 18 and Osment 30 when they filmed their first episodes together. A coordinator was unavailable at first but joined the production for later episodes as the characters’ relationship developed; Osment said this helped both actors feel more comfortable. Director Alex Reid said the initial scenes felt awkward because the pair barely knew each other, while co-creator Steve Molaro said Osment had every right to request support. Their characters now lead the spin-off “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage”.
