Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage actor Raegan Revord has confirmed they are nonbinary, after they quietly came out on social media earlier this year.
Revord, 17, made the affirmation while on a press tour promoting their debut novel Rules for Fake Girlfriends, a globetrotting queer romantic comedy. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Revord reflected on their childhood experiences on the sets of The Big Bang Theory spinoffs before opening up about what LGBTQ+ representation means to them.
Revord has played Missy Cooper, the twin sister of Sheldon Cooper (Iain Armitage née Jim Parsons), since 2017, becoming a guest star on Georgie & Mandy’s first season last year following Young Sheldon’s cancellation. In their interview with ET, Revord said they would always have a special place in their heart for the role.“I love her so much, especially because I view her very much like nine-year-old me […] I’m very protective of Missy,” Revord told ET. “I love her to death. And she is such a fun character to play, and I know her so well. So I will always love to return to Missy.”
