Emmy Rossum spoke about playing Tom Holland’s mother in “The Crowded Room” during a chat with ET Canada’s Morgan Hoffman.
Rossum is 36 years old in real life, while Holland is 27, meaning there’s just a nine-year age gap.
However, the actress told Hoffman the casting makes sense, sharing: “You know, when I read the script, I was so moved by the mother-son relationship.
“We watch this character, you know, as a really kind of… has this childish energy herself. She’s a young 25-year-old mom with an 8-year-old son, a single mom working two jobs, trying her best to love and protect a child who is full of creativity and imagination, but a little bit different.
“And we watch over time, over 10 years as their relationship erodes. And there’s an incredible poignancy and sadness,” she continued.

Rossum went on, “I think, you know, when the show was first announced, without understanding that the character had this child at 16, of course, but being so close to the script and understanding that all of the actresses who were up for the role were about my age because the character ages from 25 to 35, I felt that I hoped people would give it a chance.”
Elsewhere in the chat, Rossum spoke about what the most challenging aspect of the show was for her, telling us: “You know, I think for Tom and I both, it’s playing with those family secrets, those things that we hide from each other, that we hide from ourselves.
“And the coping skill that they both share, that they’ve either, you know, learned from each other or otherwise is denial.
“How do we play knowing something but also not

In both cases, the Spider-Man actor has learned to be “very resilient.” Tottenham Hotspur has never won the Premiere League. “I think being a Tottenham fan is somewhat like being in ‘The Crowded Room.’ It has taught me resilience,” Holland said. “Tottenham has never won anything and supporting them is incredibly difficult. It’s no secret my show has been so horribly reviewed, but I’m here today to promote the show and I’m still here. I’m very resilient. It’s a good quality.”

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Tom Holland is clarifying recent remarks about taking a year-long acting break following the brutal filming of his Apple TV+ crime thriller series “The Crowded Room.” The “Spider-Man” star announced his acting break during an interview with “Extra” that hit online at the same time his new show was earning extremely negative reviews from television critics. Holland said on “Live With Kelly and Mark” that bad reviews had nothing to do with his decision to break from acting. The choice was made when “The Crowded Room” wrapped filming last year, meaning Holland is already months into his Hollywood hiatus. “It’s so funny. Obviously, ‘The Crowded Room’ came out. We didn’t have very favorable reviews,” Holland said. “So the press story was that I have taken this year off because of the reviews. But I’m eight months into my year off. I’ve been chilling at home in London, going to Grand Prixes, playing golf…”

Loving him no matter what. Tom Holland is grateful that Zendaya was patient with him — and his hair — while filming his new series The Crowded Room.
Alison Herman TV Critic Over 20 years ago, screenwriter Akiva Goldsman penned the script for “A Beautiful Mind,” the Oscar-winning biopic of mathematician and diagnosed schizophrenic John Nash. To convey Nash’s subjective experience of his condition, “A Beautiful Mind” pulled a bait-and-switch. Early in the film, we meet Nash’s college roommate, who becomes his lifelong friend; later, it’s revealed the roommate was a figment of Nash’s imagination. At the time, the twist was effective enough to earn Goldsman an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. The limited series “The Crowded Room,” created by Goldsman for Apple TV+, attempts the same trick to greatly diminished returns. A simple Wikipedia search shows that “The Crowded Room” was inspired by Billy Milligan, the first defendant acquitted by invoking a case of dissociative identity disorder in the late 1970s. But ahead of the show’s release, critics were asked not to disclose the fractured mental state of Danny Sullivan, the Milligan analog played with doe-eyed naiveté of Tom Holland. This puzzled me, given the eminently Googleable nature of the premise. Then I started watching.
With the ongoing WGA writers’ strike, it’s safe to assume plenty of upcoming films will see lengthy delays. And in the case of Tom Holland and his fourth “Spider-Man” film, that may be a good thing.
