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.

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

People didn’t seem to mind the age gap, citing similar cases in well-received classics
Sean Connery was 56 when he played the father to Harrison Ford, 44, in the Last Crusade.
If gets any more attractive, she's going to collapse into a singularity of gorgeus.
y'all have never seen a Mexican telenovela, have you? lol
