EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Young Sheldon Star Raegan Revord Opens Up About Being Nonbinary and Their New Novel!
Get ready for a juicy scoop straight from the world of Hollywood! We've got the inside dish on 17-year-old Raegan Revord, who stunned fans earlier this year when they came out as nonbinary. The talented teen, known for their iconic role as Missy Cooper on the hit CBS series Young Sheldon, is taking the literary world by storm with their debut novel, Rules for Fake Girlfriends.
A Trailblazer in the Making
In a candid interview with Entertainment Tonight, Revord shared that they were inspired to come out after witnessing other celebrities proudly embracing their true identities. "It's so cool because growing up, whenever I would see a celebrity or whoever come out as nonbinary or queer or anything, I was like, 'Oh my God, this is so cool, I see myself in you,'" Revord revealed.
The starlet, who uses they/them pronouns, expressed their excitement about being able to inspire others. "And now it's so crazy to have that experience where I'm now that person and there might be a kid somewhere who's like, 'Oh my God, I see myself in you,'" Revord shared with infectious enthusiasm.
Revord's journey to self-discovery was not an easy one, but they're grateful for the platform they have today. "It's such an insane thing 'cause I was in that kid's shoes at some point in my life," Revord confessed, highlighting the importance of representation and authenticity.
The Buzz on Rules for Fake Girlfriends
Revord is set to release their debut novel, a romantic comedy aimed at young adults, which promises to be a wild ride. The book follows Avery Blackwell, a protagonist who embarks on a scavenger hunt in Brighton, England, where her late mother was from. "I've always wanted to write something set in England," Revord shared, gushing about the picturesque town.
The story revolves around Avery's whirlwind romance with Charlie, a charming local girl, as they navigate the complexities of love and loss. "If Avery will pretend to be her girlfriend to make her ex jealous, Charlie will help Avery solve the scavenger hunt her artistic, free-spirited mother left behind on campus decades ago," Revord explained.
A Glimpse into the Creative Process
In a separate interview with Woman's World, Revord delved deeper into their creative inspiration for the main character. "I've had ideas for Avery for a while, but never really a plot or a backstory," Revord confessed. The spark that ignited the story was when a friend confided in them about a potentially serious health issue and how it could affect relationships.
This poignant moment sparked a chain of thoughts that led to what we now see as Avery's heart-wrenching journey with her mother. "That kind of led to what Avery and her mom's relationship became," Revord shared, reflecting on the novel's themes of love, loss, and identity.
