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."

Pushers Channel 4, 10pm & 10.30pm If you have a good memory, you may remember that, back in 2022, Channel 4 broadcast Comedy Blaps, a series of short sitcoms of varying quality. Easily the best of them was Disability Benefits, co-written by comedian Rosie Jones and Peter Fellows, a screenwriter whose CV features The Death of Stalin, Veep, Avenue 5 and Fantastic Friends. Jones also played the lead role of Emily, a young woman facing a financial nightmare after losing her job and having the titular payments cut by the government, forcing her into a life of crime. That one-off won the Best Newform Drama Series trophy at the C21 International Drama awards, so it came as no surprise when Sharon Horgan's Merman Television was commissioned to turn it into a full series by Channel 4. 'Rosie has a truly unique voice and storytelling ability, alongside impeccable comedic timing, and we are proud to be working with her on her first scripted TV project,' says Merman's co-founder, Clelia Mountford. Jones herself adds: 'I am incredibly excited. It has always been my dream to have my own sitcom and now it is coming true! Bring it on!'

America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Netflix, streaming now Expect gussets galore and grinning faces all over your Netflix landing page for the foreseeable. The creators of Cheer and Last Chance U bring you season two of the auditions. We Were Liars Prime Video, streaming now Based on E Lockhart's YA 2014 book. You can guess the rest. Trainwreck: Mayor of Mayhem Netflix, streaming now Initially dismissed as a joke by politicians and the media alike, Rob Ford's unexpected 2010 Toronto mayoral election bid defied expectations with a stunning landslide victory.

Rob was 15 years too early; no one would bat an eyelid nowadays. Sally Disney+, streaming now Sally Ride made history as the first American woman in space, but behind her serene exterior lay a deeply personal story. For 27 years, she shared her life with writer and professional tennis player Tam O'Shaughnessy, who now unveils the untold journey of their relationship in this Cristina Costantini-directed film. American Thunder Prime Video, streaming now Celebrating its 100th anniversary in June 2023, the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans — one of motorsports' most prestigious endurance races — introduced an unexpected competitor: stock car aficionados Nascar. As for what they brought to proceedings? A Chevrolet Camaro to compete against cutting-edge Ferrari and Porsche prototypes in this almost fabled, gruelling test of long-distance racing. Competing at Le Mans was the lifelong dream of Nascar chairman and CEO Jim France. As such, he brought in Hendrick Motorsports, the most successful team in Nascar history, to build and race the car (which, again, was a Camaro). On the plus side, he also enlisted the help of elite drivers Jenson Button, Jimmie Johnson and Mike Rockenfeller. Over the course of 18 months, this team transformed a car built for (at most) three-hour oval track races in the US into one capable of surviving the relentless 24-hour challenge. Deep Cover Prime Video, streaming now Not to be mistaken for the 1990s movie starring Fishburne and Goldblum, this film is about an improv teacher and her two students posing as criminals to slip into London's underworld. Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom, Nick Mohammed and Sean Bean have their work cut out for them to make this fly. Return to the Wild Disney+, streaming now Famed as 'the greatest living explorer', Sir Ranulph 'Ran' Fiennes joins his cousin, actor Joseph Fiennes (no sign of brother Ralph, unfortunately), on a breathtaking journey through British Columbia. As they navigate its rugged terrain, they reflect on Ran's legendary expeditions, his battle with Parkinson's, and the deepening bond forged through their shared adventure. Echo Valley AppleTV+, streaming now Julianne Moore and Domhnall Gleeson are getting all the work of late. Both co-star in this thriller about a mother who will do anything to keep her drug-addled daughter 'safe' (including body disposal). Written by Brad Ingelsby (Mare of Easttown), this moody (if a tad predictable) number stars Sydney Sweeney alongside 'dad' Kyle MacLachlan and Fiona Shaw.
