36-Year-Old Emmy Rossum Is Playing The Mom Of 27-Year-Old Tom Holland, And People Are Questioning The Age Gap
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.

People didn’t seem to mind the age gap, citing similar cases in well-received classics

as 37 old im offended, even if i popped child as early as physically possible, it would have been max 24 years ago and Tom Holland looks older
