Young Sheldon‘s Iain Armitage he made a strange comment about why there was no rush for him to appear to her Georgie & Mandy’s First Wedding.
“To be honest, it would be great to be on that show, I’m a big fan [of the show and] of Montana Jordan and Emily Osment. They’re so talented – everyone in the show is so good,” Armitage, 17, told Exclusive. Us Weekly. “I watch this show all the time and my whole family loves it. They all do a great job as actors and actors.”
Despite planning each week, Armitage has overcome his reluctance to join – for now.
“I believe that if you have a very good cast – and if you’ve already attached a great cast – reducing it or adding other people doesn’t hurt it. But I don’t want to go public with what they’re doing,” he said. “It’s great, so I’d be honored to be a part of it.”
He continued: “There’s no current plan that works but, you know, if maybe a couple of seasons in a row happen … it would be really fun and exciting. Now that’s one of those shows that I find myself becoming a fan of. I don’t even have to be a part of it. I just find myself loving it.”

Viewers met Sheldon’s brother, Georgie (Jordan), which paved the way for his romance with Mandy (Osment) to inspire another ending, Georgie & Mandy’s First Wedding.
“I’m lucky in a few ways, because I started doing this when I was young, I’ve had a lot of people come up to me and say, ‘You look so different.’ It’s interesting to think that if I start another project and do something completely different, it’s a great opportunity to differentiate myself in some way,” explains Armitage. “But that’s not really my goal. I’m proud of the work I did on Young Sheldon. I loved it. It was great fun for seven years. I’m not running at all. I’d love to appear on Georgie and Mandy but at the moment the fact that I can change and do something completely different is amazing and really fun.”

I need to get kidnapped badly and get Colter Shaw to rescue me,” he laughed. Us. “I need to go to the island [on Survivor] sometimes. I would like to appear a little bit on every CBS show.
