Hey there, news fans! Today, we’re talking about Emily Atack, a famous actress in a new TV show called Rivals. She plays a character named Sarah, who uses her looks to get ahead. However, some wonder if this goes against Emily’s work to stop bad things from happening to women. Let’s see what she has to say!
Emily, 34 years old, says it’s okay to play sexy parts and still fight for women’s rights. She told a newspaper, “I know some people might say, ‘Wait a minute! One day, she’s talking about protecting women, and the next day, she’s taking her clothes off in a show. That doesn’t make sense.’ But I want to show that it shouldn’t matter at all.”
In the show, Emily’s character, Sarah, does some pretty grown-up stuff. There’s even a scene where she plays tennis without any clothes on! But Emily says she loved doing that scene. “It was a beautiful sunny day, and I’d been exercising. I was ready to do this naked scene,” she explained.
Emily thinks her character, Sarah, is fascinating. “Sarah likes to be with lots of different people, but she’s also funny,” she says. Emily is happy to play a role like this because she thinks women like Sarah haven’t always been shown in a good way on TV.
The actress remembers feeling excited when she first read about Sarah. It reminded her of when she got her famous role as Charlotte in a show called “The Inbetweeners” when she was younger. “I got this feeling in my tummy like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is perfect for me!'” she says.
Emily knows some people might not understand why she’s okay with playing sexy parts. But she wants everyone to know that it doesn’t change how much she cares about making the world safer for women. She even made a TV show about stopping people from being mean to women online.
The new show “Rivals” is based on some books written by a lady named Jilly Cooper. It’s all about TV people in the 1980s, a long time ago! Emily’s character, Sarah, is trying to be successful in a world where men are in charge of most things.
Emily says she understands how Sarah feels. “I know what it’s like to struggle in this job,” she explains. “Sometimes you feel like you have to use how you look to get what you want.”
So, what do you think? Can someone play sexy parts on TV and still help make the world better for women? Emily Atack sure thinks so!
Remember, it’s okay to have different opinions about stuff like this. It is essential to be kind and respect everyone, no matter what they choose to do with their job or body. That’s all for now, news buddies! Keep thinking about the world around you, and don’t be afraid to ask questions!
