Don’t ask Emmy Rossum to talk about her nude scenes in Shameless – the Showtime drama that’s already in production on a second season that’ll return early next year. The comely actress got a little defensive when her Comic-Con moderator asked her to talk about flashing her breasts more than once during the drama’s first season.
“There’s a stupid stigma about it,” Rossum snapped. “It’s just a body, it isn’t anything. It doesn’t say who you are inside. I tihnk I revealed way more on this show in scenes were I got to be unattractive and lonely than I ever did in a scene where I was having sex with my boyfriend. People are all a tizzy about it.”
Well, some nudity helps when you are dealing with a show about a reckless dad and the family who lives with him. Case in point: That naked butt you see in the opening credits? Executive Producer John Wells said the vision of a pants-free derriere – which rumor has it, belongs to series star Justin Chatwin, though he didn’t seem to want to acknowledge it — was by design so people would know what to expect from the dramedy.
“You mean this isn’t a show about plumbing?” star William H. Macy joked.Â
Otherwise, there wasn’t too much spilled about the second season, but the crowd at Comic-Con got a taste of Macy’s dry — but genius — sense of humor. But when it came to talking about his pay cable gig, Macy was humble and genuine. “It’s a joy to come back to this and get to be with this character and these cast members again. I’m just in love with this job. It’s the greatest fun I ever had.”
Guys stop pestering her about it! You might make her stop showing off her t*ts… I for one welcome a sight of her great t*ts anytime, so thank you Emmy!
What’s the big deal anyway? Emmy is right–it’s just a body. Better to ask her about her work–she is doing a great job with this role. Hope she wins her name (an Emmy) real soon.
Emmy’s boobs are always welcome, but I see her point in being defensive, because Shameless deserves to be recognized for being a really good show. The constant questions about the nudity make it seem like it’s just exploitation.
The article refers to ‘Macy’ a number of times. Who is ‘Macy’?
William H. Macy, he plays the drunk dad
is that a direct written quote from rossum cuz there were spelling errors n im not saying i dont make errors but if thats EWs mistake its weird
It is great to have someone like you who is willing to share this information. Most would charge for it. Thanks!!
Thanks for interesting blog post. You guys are always provide information that it makes it impossible not to want to buy your next product ;I can¡¯t wait to see what you guys come up with based on all your research and data that you gather.
Oh pu-leeeeze Emmy! Of course it’s all about the gratuitous nudity! A real actress wouldn’t have to show everything she’s got and could portray the scene without having to resort to stripping. With that said, you do have a very nice rack.
