“It means the world. Thank you. I love playing a woman who’s unapologetically herself and loves to work, and that’s a positive thing. And that she’s still struggling to find a work life balance, because I think that you’re always trying to find what works for you. So not having it together all the time is actually an okay thing. And I love playing a character that celebrates that.”

So, it’s a lot to process. But, I’m so grateful like that.

STORYLINE:
Lily Collins and the cast of “Emily in Paris” celebrated the premiere of season four on the pink carpet at the Egyptian Theater in Los Angeles.
The popular romantic comedy-drama series debuted in 2020, and the cast hadn’t had a proper premiere experience until Wednesday because of the pandemic.
“It’s so exciting. It’s the first time we get to celebrate in Hollywood like this and it feels so exciting to be at the Egyptian. I’m so honored. And yeah, I just can’t wait to see it with an audience,” Collins said.
The series has been a launching pad for the careers of many of its cast members, causing them to reach the show’s wide fan base and bringing them into the international limelight.
Ashley Park, who stars as Mindy Chen, said she’s been on a “wild journey” since she started on the show four years ago.
Despite having three successful seasons in the books, some of the cast said they’re still grappling with the show’s massive reach.
