Emmy Rossum discusses how Shameless nude scenes affected her dating life
Emmy Rossum told the Pretty Tough podcast that playing Fiona Gallagher on Shameless influenced how men viewed her during her twenties.
Actress admits dating difficulties
Rossum explained to Maria Sharapova that the nudity on the show created preconceived notions about her sexuality. She stated that going out with guys became quite tricky because of these assumptions regarding her character. The actress noted it was bizarre for men to judge her based on scenes they had seen.
Specific dating example shared
The actor recounted a conversation with a man who wanted to run for political office. He expressed hesitation about dating someone exposed in the way she was on television. Rossum described this interaction as an insane conversation to have while trying to figure out her identity.
Impact on young adults
She argued that growing up in your twenties involves dating and coming into your own as an artist. People often get confused when they associate the body with art rather than the person behind it. This confusion makes finding genuine connections difficult for actors who appear nude regularly.
