The BEAUTIFUL CREATURES' characters are often quoting their Southern mothers. So what's the most valuable piece of advice BEAUTIFUL CREATURES' Emmy Rossum’s mother gave her? "Always wear underwear.”

Shameless’ Emmy Rossum takes a turn as a not-so-good witch Ridley Duchannes in the supernatural thriller adapted from the best-selling series BEAUTIFUL CREATURES. Set in a small Southern town, the teen characters from the young adult novel turned movie, often quote sayings from their old-fashioned mothers in their Southern drawl, “My momma said…” Sometimes momma’s advice is prejudice, but in the case of the young boy in love with a witch, Ethan’s mother promotes free-thinking. Rossum’s character, however, is far from giving her young cousin Lena any good advice when it comes to choosing between the light and dark of witchcraft.

Listen to the audio interview below.

In our sit down with the beautiful actress in Los Angeles, CineMovie asked Rossum what did “momma say” to her that resonates with her.

"Always wear underwear. My mom is just really obsessed with wearing underwear with short dresses. It’s probably the best advice she’s ever given me.”

In a time when Anne Hathaway gets caught on camera wearing no undergarments and the famous Britney Spears' underside shot that blinded many of us, Rossum’s mother makes quite good sense. Rossum, unabashedly, also added that mom also cautions her about wearing “big ones” versus “tongs” as she calls it. Her mom goes further by making sure she’s not wearing “flesh color ones” but poke-a-dots.

“She's like, ‘and don't wear flesh color because at least if people see them… If they're poke-a-dots, then they'll know it’s not your vajayjay.’ So she's very into no vajay jay shots on the internet." 

The BEAUTIFUL CREATURES star went on to say its sad when people are shooting up your skirt. But don’t expect this starlet to get caught with her pant(ies) down.

Great advice just in time for Valentine’s Day when BEAUTIFUL CREATURES opens in movie theaters.
