## Key points

- Osment requested an intimacy coordinator on *Young Sheldon*.
- She was 30; co-star Montana Jordan was 18.
- A coordinator joined later as their characters’ relationship developed.

## Summary

Emily Osment says she asked for an intimacy coordinator while filming *Young Sheldon* because she felt uncomfortable about the 12-year age gap between her and co-star Montana Jordan, and wanted him to have support too. The account highlights how intimacy coordinators can help actors feel comfortable, even when a production does not include sex scenes.

Osment was 30 and Jordan was 18 when she joined the series in 2022. Director Alex Reid said the production initially overlooked hiring a coordinator, partly because there were no sex scenes; one was brought in for later episodes as the characters’ relationship developed. Osment and Jordan now star together in the spin-off *Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage*.
