Emily Osment requested intimacy coordinator for kissing scenes with Montana Jordan
Emily Osment asked for an intimacy coordinator for kissing scenes with Montana Jordan on the CBS comedy “Young Sheldon.”
She said she was 30 while Jordan was 18, and the age gap made her uncomfortable.
Osment said the coordinator could not be brought in for the first scenes, but was present for several later episodes as the characters’ relationship developed.
Having a coordinator made the scenes easier, she said, and she wanted Jordan to have the option of support too.
Director Alex Reid said the production had initially overlooked the need because the show did not include sex scenes.
He recalled that both actors felt awkward making out before they knew each other, though they later developed strong chemistry.
Osment and Jordan now lead the spin-off “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage,” which is in its third season.
Emily Osment said she requested an intimacy coordinator for kissing scenes with her “Young Sheldon” co-star Montana Jordan.
Osment said she felt uncomfortable because she was 30 and Jordan was 18 at the time.
She said the coordinator was unavailable at first but joined the production for the next few episodes.
Director Alex Reid said the production had initially “totally dropped the ball” on arranging an intimacy coordinator.
Osment and Jordan later continued playing their characters in the spin-off “Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.”
