Emily Osment is getting real about the age gap between her and her Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage costar Montana Jordan. During a recent interview, the 32-year-old actress discussed the 11-year difference between her and Jordan, who is 21. “I mean, I’m 32 and he’s 21, so there is a massive age gap,” Osment admitted. She noted that while it was something she thought about initially, their professional bond has made the transition into their own spinoff seamless.
The Evolution of Georgie and Mandy
Osment recalled that when they first started working together on Young Sheldon, Jordan was only 15 years old. “He was a child when I met him,” she said. Over the years, she has watched him grow up on set. Now that they are leading their own show, she expressed how impressed she is with his growth, stating, “He has such a natural talent and he’s so funny. He’s really stepped into this leadership role on the show so beautifully.”
A Shared Dynamic on Set
Despite the age difference in real life, which mirrors their characters’ relationship in the show, Osment shared that they have a great working dynamic. She explained that their chemistry comes from the years of working together previously. “We’ve been working together for three years now, so we have a shorthand,” she said. Osment highlighted that they both feel a responsibility to lead the new series and maintain the legacy of the characters that fans have grown to love.
