Lily Collins: Glam to Grunge in a Heartbeat on Set of Close Personal Friends
Lily Collins' Wild Ride: From Glamorous Emily to Dark Drama Roles
In a shocking turn of events, Lily Collins has traded her glamorous role as Emily Cooper in Netflix's hit series "Emily in Paris" for a gritty drama role that will leave fans speechless. The 36-year-old actress, who is the daughter of music legend Phil Collins, was spotted on the set of "Close Personal Friends" in Nottingham, England, looking worlds away from her elegant character.
According to sources close to the production, Collins' new movie revolves around a couple who befriend a pair of celebrities while on a trip to Santa Barbara, California. The comedy, which also stars Captain Marvel's Brie Larson and Jack Quaid from "The Hunger Games," promises to deliver "plenty of awkwardly funny moments" as the characters navigate their complicated relationships.
But what's really got fans buzzing is Collins' latest role in an upcoming Amazon MGM film, where she plays a character who buys crack cocaine in a seedy alleyway. The scene, which was filmed in Kingston, Surrey, shows Collins' character in a desperate state, buying drugs from a shady dealer. It's a far cry from her glamorous persona as Emily Cooper, and it raises questions about the actress's acting choices.
Collins' decision to take on darker roles may be a sign that she's looking to challenge herself as an actress and showcase her range. After all, she has already proven her ability to play complex characters with her critically acclaimed performances in "To the Bone" and "Mank." But will her latest role pay off? Only time will tell.
In other news, Collins recently finished filming the fifth season of "Emily in Paris," although a lot of it was recorded on location in Rome. The new season promises to be just as dramatic as the last, with Emily facing professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in her new city. But this time around, she's not alone - she's got a new love interest, handsome Marcello Muratori, played by Eugenio Franceschini.
As "Emily in Paris" fans eagerly await the release of season five on December 18, Collins is keeping busy with her latest projects. The actress and her husband, film director Charlie McDowell, welcomed their daughter Tove via surrogacy earlier this year, and they've been open about the challenges they faced during the process.
"We're just so grateful for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way," Collins and McDowell said in a statement. It's clear that becoming parents has brought them even closer together, but it's also added a new level of responsibility to their already busy lives.
As Collins navigates her personal and professional life, fans are left wondering what's next for this talented actress. Will she continue to take on dark and gritty roles, or will she return to her glamorous persona as Emily Cooper? Only time will tell, but one thing's for sure - Lily Collins is an actress who is not afraid to take risks and push boundaries.
