Actor Lily Collins is everywhere in December media, given the phenomenal success of ‘Emily in Paris’. Porter Magazine’s Dec. 12 issue steps up for the latest feature with Collins talking to Ellie Pithers about her alter ego’s unwavering positivity, new projects and the power of vulnerability.

Season 3 of ‘Emily in Paris’ is available on Netflix from Dec. 21, 2022.

Collins is so identified with Emily Cooper’s character that she responds to both names. Her US French studies have paid off and she is almost fluent in the language. Married to Charlie McDowell, a director and screenwriter, they ride scooters around Paris where Collins is constantly recognized as Cooper.

“It’s very funny and endearing, and so bizarre and sweet, to see people, visiting the city, dressing like the character and taking photos,” she says. “People came up to me and said, ‘I packed my bag according to what Emily would wear.’ If they saw me in character, it was very trippy.”

Lily Collins is accustomed to being in the public eye as the daughter of British singer, drummer and songwriter Phil Collins, and Jill Tavelman, a philanthropist and antiques dealer with a store ‘Waverly on Doheny’ in West Hollywood CA. Lily’s first acting gig was at age two. Collins hasn’t looked back.

Having become a producer with ‘Emily in Paris’, she’s excited to share news of Case Study Films, the production company she launched in November with her husband and their partner, Alex Orlovsky.

Among the projects in development are ‘Razzlekhan: The Infamous Crocodile of Wall Street’, based on a New York Magazine article about the so-called Bonnie and Clyde of Bitcoin, and ‘The Accomplice’, based on Lisa Lutz’s psychological thriller.

While Emily Collins will appear in both films, she makes it clear that nonacting roles are a big part of the vision of Case Study Films.
