Emmy Rossum begs of you: Do not pop your pimples. The 31-year-old actress learned the hard way when she popped a pimple between her eyes and woke up with a story (and scab) that will haunt her forever.
The “Shameless” star revealed her pimple-popping horror story to Glamour, in which she warned fans to keep their hands far away from their faces, lest they want to wake up with a “third eye.” “Popping pimples. Don?t ever do it, it?ll just leave a scar. Do not do it,”Rossum said.
Rossum’s pimple-popping story began the night before she started shooting her 2004 film, “The Day After Tomorrow.” To make sure she was camera-ready for her big day, she decided to pop an annoying pimple between her eyebrows. She followed all the steps: She put a warm towel on the blemish, she used Q-tips instead of her fingers. But still, her efforts were no match for the scab-creating devils. “I just remember the night before I started shooting ‘The Day After Tomorrow, ‘I had a huge pimple right between my eyebrows. I put a warm cloth on it, I did everything right,” Rossum said. “I used two little Q-tips to pop it, and then the next day I woke up and there was a huge scab between my eyes. It looked like I had a third eye!
