‘Emily In Paris’ Star’s Father-in-Law Isn’t a Fan of Her Show

The ‘Clockwork Orange’ star loves daughter-in-law Lily Collins, just not her show.

A Clockwork Orange star Malcolm McDowell, 82, revealed in an exclusive interview with People that he isn’t a fan of daughter-in-law Lily Collins’ Netflix show, Emily in Paris. “To be honest with you, it’s not my kind of thing, and Lily knows that,” he told the magazine, adding, “but I’m the biggest fan of my daughter-in-law. I think she’s absolutely one of the great actresses.” He also praised Collins’ screen presence, saying, “As far as I’m concerned, when she’s on the screen, there’s nobody else on it, because she’s not only a good actress, but she has a beautiful quality. I suppose, it’s a sort of charisma.” Collins, the 36-year-old daughter of musician Phil Collins, married filmmaker Charlie McDowell—McDowell’s son with actress Mary Steenburgen—in 2021. The couple welcomed a daughter, Tove Jane, via surrogate earlier this year. Collins has been starring as the titular character in Emily in Paris since 2020. Despite attracting some criticism, particularly from French viewers, the series has been a success for Netflix. The fifth season of Emily in Paris will premiere in December.
