What do Sandra Bullock and David Beckham have to do with Emily In Paris? Well, apparently, they both served as "guiding lights" for the show's stars at the start of their careers. Speaking to Sky News, Lily Collins says watching Sandra Bullock be the "kindest, most kickass, badass female" on the set of The Blind Side made her realise that it is possible to be in the spotlight and remain a nice person. "My first film, I was mothered by Sandra Bullock, and she really took me under her wing during that experience and showed me the ropes," she said.
"Even when she didn't know she was teaching me, she was teaching me because I would watch her on set...
the way that she spoke to everyone, treated everyone, the questions she asked, and how she just valued her character in ways that I didn't know going into it that you can value, or things that you can ask or the right that you have to, you know, bring your own ideas." "I really appreciated and respected the way that she handled a set and herself and we stayed in touch" she added. "It made such an impact on me as my first experience to have this amazing, strong, kind female lead the way.
" Collins explains that similar characteristics are what made her fall in love with her lead role in Emily In Paris. The Netflix series follows an American woman who moves to Paris to continue her marketing career in the "city of love". It follows her learning French, finding her footing in a foreign country, and making friends and relationships along.
