Emmy Rossum Talks About Her Sexy Role in Shameless on Showtime

Emmy Rossum is doing a new show called "Shameless" on Showtime. You might not have heard of it, but you might want to start watching now. You know how those movie channels like shows with sex and nudity? Well guess what? "Shameless" is no different. The new show features nudity, drugs corruption and lots of sex, including Rossum in topless scenes.

Doing topless is a lot different than what Emmy used to do. She starred in "Phantom of the Opera" and she usually plays characters who wear bodices, long gowns and even bonnets. Do you think she was relieved to just be naked?

From the Huffington Post:

"Rossum, who plays Fiona, the sexy yet mother-like eldest sister to a large, working class-at-best family, told Vegas Magazine that her love scenes with co-star Justin Chatwin are one of the best parts of the show."

"It doesn't make sense that the character would wear a bra and care at all about what she looks like when she's having sex," Rossum told the magazine.

"Sex is meant to feel good, and she wants to feel good. Her life is so shitty in so many ways. Some people use alcohol, some people use gambling--and some people use sex."

So, yeah, I take that as a "yes" she’s happy to finally be doing something else. A role that is liberating to her. Will it be up for awards next year? If there are nudity, drugs, corruption and sexual scandals, I’m sure it will be.

Have you been tuning in and watching "Shameless"? What’s your rating on the show?
