While acting was Rosager's aspiration, she got her first taste of the limelight as a model. At 15, she was scouted at Copenhagen amusement park Tivoli Gardens by two American photographers scouting for the Abercrombie and Fitch campaign. After attending the casting, Rosager confirmed her first job and the rest, as they say, is history.

Rosager kickstarted her acting career in the same fashion she did modelling. Having freshly turned 18 she decided to pursue her dream of acting. Obtaining an email address of a casting director from a friend she secured an audition for the Danish drama En-tu-tre-nu!, soon after which she was confirmed in the role of Cecile.

Rosager truly stole the show. Warned before auditioning that the part of Cecile was really already cast, Rosager was undeterred. She tried her hand at the role, which was to her advantage as she was then cast as Cecile, successfully transitioning from model to actress.

To relax and escape the spotlight, Rosager likes to retreat to her countryside summer house and isn't afraid to get her hands dirty. She enjoys spending time planting roses and herbs and relaxing in the blissful peace of her garden. “I can zone out; there are no thoughts in my brain. It’s actually the only time when there’s complete silence,” Rosager says of her serene mental state when gardening.

Rosager is set to take on her first-ever international lead role in an American horror film this autumn. Although no details have been released, she is super excited, having been obsessed with horror films since childhood.
