Rose says that while she’s proud of the show and loves the rom-com genre, she thinks she’s “added to the canon of a genre” that is “limiting for women in its presentation of romantic love and fulfilment…So maybe I feel a massive sense of guilt for making a romcom.”
She adds that she has “so many conflicting feelings about love, relationships and romantic ideals. As I’m getting older I’m asking: why did I feel through my 20s that finding romantic love and settling down was such a motivation in life?”
“Maybe I don’t want to be adding to that pressure and expectation of romantic love being the be all and end all. Maybe I want to encourage younger women like myself to aspire to other things.”
If you’re unaware, Starstruck, which was inspired by real life events in Rose’s life, centers on Jessie, an ordinary cinema worker in London who meets and fall for Tom, who she doesn’t realize is a huge movie star.
Starstruck also airs on Max.
