As the season finale draws near, “Young Sheldon” star Iain Armitage penned a heartfelt message to her ‘meemaw’ Annie Potts.
“I love her love her love her love her love her. It has been a joy being Moonpie to Ms Annie’s MeeMaw. Season One I was delighted to discover that we were neighbors who both lived near the studio. It felt like having a relative who lived right down the street,” Armitage said in a Facebook post, stating his appreciation to Potts who plays his grandmother in the hit series “Young Sheldon.”
The 15-year-old actor recalled the moments they shared on set, from collecting bugs to throwing a halloween party, it’s an adventure all throughout.
“Ms Annie is always up for adventures and capers. When I was little we would go on walks and she’d let me put the bugs I collected in her pockets. That’s just the kind of MeeMaw she is. On set I used to snuggle up next to her- she said it recharged my batteries, and she was right. She makes the very best quesadillas, throws an awesome Halloween party and knows such interesting people,” he said.
“Now she has real grandchildren, but I’m very honored to have been one of her first practice grandchildren. She’s one of my very favorite people! ❤️It’s all been a dream, MeeMaw!” Armitage added.
It was earlier announced that “Young Sheldon” will end with the 7th season to premiere in 2024.
“Young Sheldon” is a prequel to the famous sitcom “Big Bang Theory” which follows the young Sheldon Cooper as he grows up in Texas and struggles to adjust with his family and friends.
