Emmy Rossum Sobs While Filming Shameless, Jokes About Being Caught by the Paparazzi

Actress exudes some serious emotion on the Los Angeles set of the Showtime series

Is everything OK, Emmy Rossum?

After all, the actress was snapped doing some serious sobbing in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Jan. 7.

Fortunately, it turns out the 27-year-old was simply showing off her acting skills as she shot scenes for the Showtime series Shameless.

Later that day, Rossum took to Twitter to playfully comment on being photographed while exuding emotion on set.

"There's nothing quite as bizarre as trying to ignore paparazzi while you're imagining your family dying to make yourself cry in a scene," she wrote.

And just in case there was still any doubt that her sadness was all for show, Rossum posted an Instagram photo of herself happily holding up a bottle of champagne.

"A little smile, a little sip and you'd never know I cried all day in scenes for #shameless," Rossum captioned the pic.

Speaking of smiling, the brunette beauty had us doing just that as well when she posed topless for the latest issue of Esquire.

Meanwhile, the fourth season of Shameless premieres on Sunday, Jan. 12 on Showtime.
