Emily Ratajkowski loved opportunity to shape character in Netflix show Too Much

Actress Emily Ratajkowski has said she loved being given the opportunity to “shape the character” in her role in new Netflix series Too Much.

Ratajkowski is due to appear in the new romcom directed by Lena Dunham, which appears on screens next month.

The model-turned-actress said she is enjoying having more control over her career now she is in her 30s.

She told Elle magazine: “I really value control. In my 20s, I didn’t have a lot of it in my career. Now, I like making things and I like not being an addition to them. With Lena, I got to shape the character so much, which was really fun.”

Ratajkowski, who appears on the cover of the July/August issue of Elle UK, also spoke of becoming a mother in 2021.

She said: “I know what kind of mom I am, and I only deeply care about my son’s reaction to that. Anybody else who has opinions about me as a mother because of the way I dress – it’s just so inconsequential.”

Ratajkowski said it was important to think about others.

“I hate when people, celebrities specifically, are like, ‘I’m just really just focusing on my own life right now.’

“It’s what we all do to survive but, listen, the world could end tomorrow. It is important to really enjoy your life and take care of the people that you’re close to.”

The July/August issue of Elle UK is on sale from June 19.
