18 Aug
Summary
- Rossum discussed the real cost of 'having it all' for women.
- Her new series Furious explores themes of vigilantism and justice.
- Actress prepared for her role by gaining muscle and studying trauma.
Emmy Rossum recently spoke on the Call Her Daddy podcast about the significant personal cost for women who strive to "have it all." She promoted her new crime drama, Furious, a Hulu series featuring two strong female characters.
Rossum portrays an FBI agent investigating a serial killer, uncovering a network of exploitation. Her intensive two-year preparation for the role included physical training and studying trauma, as her character is a survivor.
The actress argued that the promise of women being able to "have it all" is misleading, as it implies they must do everything, often at the expense of their own well-being.
Furious premiered on July 27 and quickly became the top-rated show on Hulu, underscoring the impact of Rossum's dedication and her candid discussion about the sacrifices women make.
