Emmy Rossum shed tears as she filmed emotional scenes on the set of Shameless on Tuesday.
The 27-year-old actress proved herself a convincing crier as she threw herself into her role as Fiona Gallagher in the Showtime series based on an award-winning British show of the same name.
In the new scenes, to feature in season four which will premiere on Sunday January 12, Emmy's character wore an ankle bracelet while sitting outside crying in the snow.
Although the scenes were filmed in sunny Los Angeles, the set was transformed into a winter setting.
Emmy was clad in jeans, converse, a parka and a hat as she got emotional for her craft.
However, she later appeared in high spirits as she walked around the set with her co-stars.
The show follows the dysfunctional family of Frank Gallagher, an alcoholic single father of six children portrayed by William H. Macy.
The Beautiful Creatures star has been with Shameless since its premiere in January 2011.
The show has been a hit for Showtime and in January 2013 was renewed for a fourth season.
While Emmy is having to get emotional at work, she is much happier at home where she has developed a crush on her neighbour David Beckham.
The actress isn't dating anyone at the moment after her two-year relationship with Shameless co-star Tyler Jacob Moore ended in July.
Emmy lives in the same part of Beverly Hills as David, his wife Victoria and their four children - when they're not at their London home.
Speaking to the January issue of Company magazine, Emmy said: '[David] pulled up next to me once and asked if he could cut in front of me. He had such a sweet little voice and I was like, "Please!"
'I had a car beeping me from behind but I just had to stop and go, "That’s David Beckham, he’s sooo hot."'
The only other man in her life is her dog, Cinnamon, who was a surprise gift that she admits she wasn't happy about to begin with.
She explained: 'He was a present. I wanted a Rhodesian ridgeback. But I had a really s***ty boyfriend who gave him to me.
'And, of course, when a really cute dog shows up on your doorstep, you can't be like, Yeah, no.
You're like, "Oh, yay, puppy!" Also. Never get your girlfriend a pet that she didn't know she was getting.'
Shameless will have its fourth season premiere on Sunday at 9pm on Showtime.
