Emmy Rossum plays Tom Holland’s mother in The Crowded Room
There are many actors in Hollywood who would have an issue playing the role of a parent in their youth. Even so, playing the role of mother to a grown man, it is a very rare case. However, actress Emmy Rossum is not afraid of challenges and she was quick to take up the role in The Crowded Room.
The actress opened up on playing mother-son with Holland in Entertainment Tonight,
“It makes sense when I read the script. Candy’s a super young mom, she’s almost a child in her own right when she becomes pregnant at age 16. You watch as I age from 25 to 35, which is actually younger than I am now.”
Talking about the real ages of the actors, Rossum is 36 years old while Holland is 27 years old at present.
Angelyne Fame shared in the interview the reason for taking up the role of Candy in the show,
“The relationship between mother and son and the closeness and everything that they’re grieving in later episodes.”
The actress is also a prominent director, producer, and singer.
