Why Mandy from Young Sheldon Looks So Familiar
In Season 5, Mandy has swooped into the Cooper family, and she is there to stay for the long haul. But who is the talented actress playing Mandy?
You might have the eerie feeling that the 29-year-old blonde who swept Georgie off his feet to become his baby mama looks a tad too familiar, and you couldn't be more right!
Emily Osment is hardly a newcomer to the acting industry, and Young Sheldon is far from being her breakout show. In fact, she has been a successful actress for over two decades.
The true oldies remember her from Hannah Montana, where Osment played Miley's trusted sidekick Lilly Truscott for four seasons.
Yes, that little girl is all grown-up now and playing a mother on television. Can you believe it?
Gray-haired Millennials might also know Emily from the Spy Kids franchise where she portrayed Gerti Giggles (a female Draco Malfoy in both looks and personality). This was back in 2002. We are that old!
Just think… Emily Osment will forever be Mandy to most Gen Ziers (maybe Lilly to some). How the times have changed indeed!
The actress has had other roles over the years, but none as prominent. She has starred in shows like Cleaners, Young & Hungry, Almost Family, and Pretty Smart, but most of them were rather short-lived and relatively unknown.
Emily is not only an actress – she is also a singer (and a good one at that). Osment gained prominence in the music industry during her Hannah Montana years.
She even released a song (If I Didn't Have You) in 2007 with one of her co-stars, Mitchel Musso, who played Oliver on the show.
Since 2019, Osment has taken Bluebiird as her stage name and released an extended play, When I Loved You. We bet you didn't know this about Emily!
The actress isn't married, but she has been happily dating therapist Jim Gilbert since 2016.
Apparently, after years of relationships with fellow Hollywoodians, Emily grew tired of being in the public eye and opted for keeping her personal life private.
So where do you know Emily Osment from? Are you a young Gen Zier or an old Millennial?
