As Emily Atack strips naked for Disney+ Rivals, how the actress found the scenes ‘so liberating’ after 16 years of being known as Charlotte ‘Big Jugs’ on The Inbetweeners
As I delve into Emily Atack’s narrative, I find myself deeply moved by her resilience and spirit. She’s been through the wringer, facing online abuse, body shaming, and even being told she needed to lose weight to fit Hollywood’s standards. Yet, she’s never let that deter her.
In the latest installment of Disney+’s adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s “Rivals,” Emily Atack appears entirely unclothed. This British television series is known for its racy content, often referred to as a “bonkbuster.
The 34-year-old actress, portraying Sarah Stratton’s on-screen spouse (the Deputy Prime Minister), expressed that the particular scenes were incredibly “empowering” for her.
Emily finds herself at a crucial juncture, realizing that she hadn’t fully grasped the storyline being crafted for her back then, when she gained prominence as Charlotte ‘Big Jugs‘ Hinchcliffe on The Inbetweeners 16 years ago. She didn’t foresee what image was being presented about her.
Her transformative position in life led to immediate recognition, and she was promptly invited for numerous provocative photo sessions for men’s magazines.
However, Emily was also hit by the dark side of fame where she became a victim to online sexual harassment and fat-shaming.
In the movie Rivals, an actress discards her clothes to engage in a game of tennis with the character Rupert Campbell Black, portrayed by Alex Hassell, who is similarly bare.
Regarding the provocative sequences, Emily shared with Sky News: “It feels incredibly freeing, but I understand there will be those who attempt to twist our actions into a negative perspective. After all, I’m a woman, and it’s only natural for some to react in this way.
“What I want to emphasize is that I’m right where I should be – at work – playing my part, and I feel completely at ease with it.
Emily added there was an intimacy co-ordinator on set.
When I went through it, a sensation similar to what I felt during my initial audition for Charlotte from The Inbetweeners arose within me – that delightful flutter in my stomach, whispering “This fits me like a glove,” she shared with The Radio Times.
When discussing the series, the beloved television star candidly discussed her journey to stardom on The Inbetweeners and its impact on her professional path.
She shared with The Guardian: “As a highly vulnerable adolescent, I possessed a certain innocent self-assurance. I believed, ‘I must have this job, I must cover my rent.’ From that point on, my life was forever altered.
As The Inbetweeners found huge success, Emily soon found herself booked for magazine shoots.
Emily admitted, “This is where I get mixed up. At the time, I was indeed perplexed. I was informed that I had a photoshoot scheduled for today, either for Loaded magazine or FHM. So, my response was something like, ‘Okay, stripping down, bikini on. Whatever.’ Honestly, I had no qualms with that – I actually enjoyed those shoots.
In a delightful manner, I reveled in the essence of my youth and sensuality at stunning destinations, donning exquisite lingerie. It brought immense joy to me. Unfortunately, I hadn’t considered the story being crafted about me.
Unfortunate was the fact that she faced a heavy stream of disrespectful comments online, some of which involved body-shaming and explicit content sharing.
However, to those who believe the actress ought to have anticipated such criticism, Emily firmly maintained that she hadn’t intentionally displayed anything overtly sexual. Instead, she was merely highlighting her professional endeavors.
Following the success of “The Inbetweeners,” a total of 13 movies, such as “Get Lucky” and “Outside Bet,” ensued in which Emily portrayed characters with comparable ‘flirtatious’ roles.
Emily remembered that, despite the assumption that appearing in mostly British films could lead to Hollywood stardom, a harsh encounter in LA left her advised that she needed to slim down to a UK size six to even be considered for future roles.
She mentioned that her weight became significant all of a sudden, and it has remained an issue for her ever since.
However, in 2018, her career saw another substantial boost when she competed on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! and finished as the runner-up behind Harry Redknapp. This was followed by a TV comedy series titled The Emily Atack Show and a one-woman stand-up performance.
Nevertheless, the actress openly discussed her ongoing encounters with internet bullies and skeptics who insisted that humor was beyond a woman’s reach.
After giving birth to her first child, son Barney, in June with her partner Alistair Garner, Emily has become increasingly assertive about addressing an ongoing problem she sees: the persistence of misogyny.
Nevertheless, it appears the actress who is a mother of one has no immediate plans to cover up, as she has just declared that portraying a sexually active character doesn’t contradict her advocacy for ending female violence.
The actress shared with Radio Times her perspective: “Regardless of what you choose to do, it seems like there’s no winning – if you decide to wear clothing, you’re seen as a prudish nun; but if you opt for going without clothing, you’re labeled as a loose woman.
If my job role necessitates nudity for the sake of the story, and it’s secure, then I’m perfectly suited to this position. From the outset, everyone involved was informed about potential nudity and intimate scenes in the production, so we all knew what to expect.
“I find these types of assignments quite entertaining. At my age, it’s great to experience a sense of freedom. I truly relish the tasks at hand. Plus, it’s Jilly Cooper’s work – it’s a privilege to be involved.
The series “Rivals” is inspired by Jilly’s 1988 novel and delves into the ruthless landscape of autonomous television in the year 1986. (Or) In 1986, the world of independent television serves as the backdrop for the TV show “Rivals”, which was based on a novel written by Jilly in 1988.
The narrative primarily explores the intense competition between characters Rupert Campbell-Black, portrayed by Alex Hassell, and Lord Tony Baddingham, played by David Tennant. In this production, Emily takes on the role of Sarah Stratton, a character noted for her ambition and willingness to leverage her charm in pursuit of success.
As stated by Disney+, the series “Rivals” offers an exhilarating journey filled with playful mischief, intensely passionate love tales, and unforgettable, oversized personalities.
The streaming platform emphasizes its approach of viewing the ’80s through a contemporary perspective’, providing an ‘unpolished examination of a complex epoch in British history when factors like class, race, gender, wealth, and sexual freedom allowed the extremely affluent few to transcend any boundaries of achievement.’
Rivals fans have said they are ‘already obsessed’ with the show as it debuted on Disney+ on Friday.
The eagerly awaited Disney+ show, dubbed as a “blockbuster romance,” currently boasts an impressive average rating of 93% on the Tomatometer, following fourteen initial positive critic reviews.
