Emily in Hampstead? Lily Collins waves farewell to LA as she lines up return to … #celebrity
In the hit Netflix show Emily in Paris, Lily Collins’s character is captivated by the romantic French capital.
But in real life, it seems, the actress’s heart lies in London.
Lily, 36, is planning to move from Los Angeles to the capital with her husband, film director Charlie McDowell, and their year-old daughter Tove.
Sources say she has been eyeing up a return to Britain since ‘falling in love’ with London during her 12-week run in the West End thriller Barcelona over Christmas in 2024.
Now Lily, daughter of pop star Phil Collins, hopes to make the move permanent as she considers school options for Tove, who was born via a surrogate in January last year.
A source said: ‘Lily grew up in the English countryside with many happy memories and she wants the same for her daughter.
‘But instead of the countryside, she has fallen in love with London because that’s where she has lots of friends and family.
‘She is particularly taken with the north, like Hampstead and Queen’s Park.’
