‘Super Young’ Mom: Emmy Rossum Shares Her Thoughts About Playing Tom Holland’s Mother And Being Only 9 Years Older


While Tom Holland’s beloved on-screen persona is doing pretty well in the alternative cartooney universe in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse without him, the 27-year-old actor isn’t taking a vacation exactly, either.


In the Apple TV+ upcoming limited series The Crowded Room, Holland stars as Danny Sullivan, “a man who is arrested following his involvement in a shooting in New York City in 1979.” But what surprised fans the most is the fact that Sullivan’s mom is played by Shameless’ darling Emmy Rossum, 36, who is almost a decade Holland’s senior.

Many will be surprised to learn that Emmy is only 36 years old, almost 10 years senior her co-lead’s age

But Tom, who just turned 27 and also produces the show, seems more than okay with it

“Candy’s a super young mom, she’s almost a child in her own right when she becomes pregnant at age 16,” Rossum said in an ‘Entertainment Tonight’ interview
