Lily Collins wants to shoot an Emily in Paris spin-off in London
Lily Collins would relish the opportunity to make a London-based spin-off of 'Emily in Paris'.
Lily Collins would love to film an 'Emily in Paris' spin-off in London.
The 35-year-old actress has played Emily Cooper, an American marketing executive, in four seasons of the hit Netflix show, and Lily has now admitted that she would love to see her on-screen character relocate to London.
Lily - who has recently been living in the city ahead of her West End stage debut - told the BBC: "She would definitely go to Portobello Road and buy some antiques, obviously visit Big Ben and toy shop Hamleys.
"She would also definitely try and get into Buckingham Palace."
Lily - who was born in England but raised in Los Angeles - added that Emily would "try and get the guards to smile but I'm not sure she'd be able to do that".
The actress has relished the time she's spent in London over recent months, admitting that it now "feels like home".
She shared: "I love the Tube but most of all I love sitting on the front of a double-decker bus and looking out of the window.
"I don't even have a plan on where I want to go, I just sit there and see all the sights and people."
'Emily in Paris' has already been renewed for a fifth season, but the location for filming has not yet been announced.
Meanwhile, Lucas Bravo - Lily's on-screen co-star - recently admitted that he might not return for season five of the show.
The 36-year-old actor - who plays the part of Gabriel - feels as though he's grown apart from his character.
He told IndieWire: "The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in season one and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take. I’ve never been so far away from him.
"In season one, there was a lot of me in him. But as they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimising and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole."
