Young Sheldon's Raegan Revord Reveals The On-Set Stunt That Left Her Crying

In Season 1, Episode 14 of "Young Sheldon" ("Potato Salad, a Broomstick, and Dad's Whiskey"), matriarch Mary Cooper (Zoe Perry) takes a full-time receptionist job at her church, which means she won't be home to take care of Sheldon and Missy after school. When Meemaw (Annie Potts) refuses to give up her afternoons to babysit, it's decided that the twins are mature enough to stay home alone for a few hours.

However, Meemaw worries about how they're faring, and lurks outside the Cooper house to catch a glimpse. Panicked, Missy grabs the fire extinguisher and releases it on poor Meemaw. It's a humorous scene, but its creation wasn't fun for Raegan Revord. She told Grumpy magazine, "It took a lot of takes to see which [fire extinguisher] worked, but one of them threw me back three or four feet. So when I went flying back, I was shaking and crying."

Still, this scary moment didn't deter Revord from continuing with "Young Sheldon," which is renewed through at least 2024. It also didn't deter her from dreaming about an acting career that goes beyond the show. In fact, she sees herself one day appearing and performing her own stunts in a Marvel film. She told Glitter magazine, "A dream role for me would ... be a character in the MCU. I'm so obsessed. I love action movies, so being a superhero so that I can have stunts would be so cool!"
