Emmy Rossum

[irmelle]

yes, the issue is all right. i think the best issues were the ones with kirsten dunst and kate bosworth on the cover..and one with alison lohman and jake gyllenhaal. but i think the quality of the magazine has declined a bit.
it's still the best teen magazine out there, though.

 

[Tallulahbelle]

Ralph Lauren really suits her, bland and dull!

 

[boho_babe]

I don't like her at all, she's just been in the limelight for a while now and I already find her annoying.

I know its horrible but I feel the same lol. There is something about her....maybe cos she's so pretty.

 

[NOE]

I think she is really beautiful and elegant. She looks nice on the cover, but the cover itself is a bit busy to me

Glad to see that celebs her age actually CAN be classy, unlike lindsay lo and all those others that make me cringe...although it sure is fun to see them all trashed up in the Star

 

[LizMaus]

I don't like her at all, she's just been in the limelight for a while now and I already find her annoying.

*lol* I think she's cute, but she def looks older than 18....and I'm not sure if this is good or not

 

[posterchild]

so what movies have she been in?

all i know/watched was the day after tomorrow but i didn't know who she was when I watched it and her face annoyed me a little

n also

phantom of the opera tanked...

so what else?

 

[DressageChick]

Maybe its just me, but she always seems to have sort of like a snobbish air surrounding her in her pictures. Like she's trying to say: "Yeah, I KNOW I'm more gorgeous than all of you. Look at me!! I'm perfect!!!"

 

[Arksiel]

I love Emmy's style be it her own or something that was fabricated for her...it just suits her. I like both simple and elegant, and vibrant and out there looks, but she just seems so put together. she seems to be a genuinely nice person, at least this is the impression I have gathered from the various press appearances she has done lately.

and I must surely be the only person on the planet that loved Phantom...but the play was my favourite out of many and I had been anticipating the movie for such a long time...and I liked her as the choice for christine. I thought she did very well!

 

[Cirque Paris]

She's undoubtedly beautiful..

 

[Bonchic]

love it the front just looks so springy and feminine!

 

[yourbestfriend]

yeah...i've never heard of her..

 

[kimtch]

she has great skin...looks practically poreless, and like she travels around with her own lighting director or something...
but then again..she is young. i don't think her features are perfect, but i think that she has a great look...very elegant and classic

 

[Ithillien]

She dosent annoy me on those pics but i hate her smile! its really simpering as though shes begging to be accepted.

 

[fashion_victim]

I think I am the only one but i dont find her attractive at all. Her features are not proportional at all...She is definitely cute though, just not pretty imo

 

[HotSpot]

I don't really like her, but I admire her for actually being talented.

I could not have said that any better! That's exactly how I feel about her as well. And I'm glad someone else loved Phantom the movie as much as I did!!!

 

[lostgirl]

It think that she is really beautiful and even though she is so young she strikes me as very classy. Phantom is the only thing I've ever seen her in, and while I know some people didn't like it, I loved it, and she was the main reason why (patrick wilson and gerald butler didn't hurt either) She has an amazing singing voice

 

[Golden_butterfly]

She's got a great stylist

New images from a pre-Oscar Party and a translated article from ParisMatch - any weird sounding sentences/word choices are due to the translation (thanks to emmy-rossum.net

Paris Match: How do you obtain the role of Christine for "The Phantom of the Opera?"

Emmy Rossum: It made approximately six months for them to try and find the right interpreter for this role. As soon as the filming of "The Day After Tomorrow" finished, I went to Los Angeles for a meeting with Joel Schumacher. I met with him on Wednesday. He asked me "Can you do a screen test, Saturday, in New York?" I said "yes" and they sent the sequence to Andrew Lloyd Webber in London. The sum of money it took the plane to New York at once in order for me to sing. I went to his place. He lives in a superb duplex to the 59 and 60 stages of the Trump Tower. I had never met him before. He entered the livingroom where I had some singing exercises, sat down opposite of me and just asked me to sing. It was surreal! I sang the two principal songs of the musical. At the end, he rose and said "That was very well. I am Andrew Lloyd Webber. Pleased to meet you." Two days later, I found out that I had obtained the part.

PM: What do you have in common with Christine?

ER: We entered the Opera when we were 7 years old. My experience was a very happy one whereas she is confused. Christine suffers from emotional disorders. Not me. We are very different. . .

PM: You never had a mentor?

EM: When I was 7 years old, my professor of music suggested to me an audition at the Metropolitan Opera. I took his advice and I was accepted. I sang for the Met for five years. Then, I decided to become an actress. I never had somebody to hold me by the hand. It's funny, so many people make this trade for the glory and the money. That was never my case. With the Opera, I was paid 5 dollars a night and I was high in the sky.

PM: What pushed you, at 12 years old, to leave the Metropolitan Opera to become an actress?

ER: I was at the same time, too old for the roles of children because I started to resemble a small woman, I was too young for the great roles of a spoprano. I like to be on scene. I like to take part in the creation of a work. I like the contact with the public. I found an agent, I went to auditions and three weeks later, I accepted a role in a soap opera. Then came "Law & Order" and a telefilm to Amsterdam, therefore it wasn't solely by chance. . .

PM: Joel Schumacher doesn't dry up praises on you. He says "She knew the best of the text. She was untiring and was never late." Were you always so professional?

ER: It's something I was taught in Metropolitan Opera. Within the end of my audition, they stated to me the rules, I were to be per hour. I was to know my role. And I was to comprise myself like an adult, because thus they were going to treat me. It is a lesson which I retain with life. I'm a perfectionist and sometimes that returns to me insane.

PM: Give me examples of your perfectionism.

ER: The pages of my scenario were covered with notes which I had written with inks of different colors. Another example, all of the time, I've asked my partners to come to walk in the park with me. I wanted to us to become more friendly so that our friendshop in the film was more veracious. Lastly, I went to Paris, the knowledge of Joel Schumacher, I visited the Garnier Opera, then I went to the museum of Orsay to see the dancers of Degas.

PM: One always speaks about adolescence as a difficult period. Is this the case for you?

ER: In one direction, yes. I must remember that to be independent doesn't mean I love my parents any less. My mom hasn't accompanied me on anything for two years. In 2004, everything changed in my life except me. I'm always the same. But everybody treats me differently now that people recognize me in the stree. It's rather strange. The other day, I passed in front of a kiosk and I saw a magazine. I told my self "This girl on the cover, really resembles me. My God, it's me!"

PM: In "Elle" magazine, this month, the journalist who interviewed you wrote that you have more things in common with Carlotta, the pressing diva of the "Phantom of the Opera" than with Christine.

ER: My word, when I lunched with this journalist, I had the impression to be the opposite a taliban! He didn't seem to appreciate the way I was equipped, discovering me in a sweater and shoes instead of high heels and jewels. I expected that he opened the document-case and left something there to cover me! I had a feeling he was badly informed on me. He badly understood me. . .

PM: You say you don't smoke, don't drink. How do you resist the pressures?

ER: When my peers started to drink and smoke joints, I spent my time studying and playing in films. One day, I left to return to Amsterdam, the following week, was New York then, I worked at the house during 15 days. I followed courses on the Internet. (Emmy Rossum obtained its diploma of the end of secondary studies at 15). Today, when I want to have fun, I go fishing with my friends or I make excursions. Even if I have the very female air, I like the large air.

PM: Could you fall in love with a man like the phantom which you described as somebody who was creative, impassioned and sexy but also a destructor?

ER: A type which is creative, impassioned and a musician is sexy. That's why so many women fall in love with rock'n'roll stars. At the same time, often with creativity, chaos comes. I couldn't support somebody who is a desctructor or dangerous.
