Lily Collins<\/strong> stars as Emily Cooper in Netflix’s hit series Emily in Paris<\/em><\/a> \u2014 a young women who is trying to navigate her love life and job while living in the City of Light.<\/p>\n

While Emily isn’t the most fluent in French \u2014 she is trying by taking lessons \u2014 it turns out that the actress actually has dual citizenship!<\/p>\n

These days, the brunette beauty, 32 \u2014 whose parents<\/a> are British rockstar Phil Collins<\/strong> and American actress Jill Tavelman<\/strong> \u2014\u00a0 has an American accent, but since she grew up in Guildford, United Kingdom, until she was 6 years old, she spoke differently until she moved to the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was the new girl with a very sweet, strong but specific British accent. I was trying to say the names of my classmates but I just pronounced vowels in a very different way and so I got made fun of,” she recalled. “I quickly realized I wanted to fit in. Now, years later, you’re going, ‘Oh God, I wish I still had that accent.'”<\/p>\n

Despite no longer living on the other side of the pond \u2014 her dad still has homes in Europe<\/a> \u2014 she feels comfortable when she jets over to England.<\/p>\n

“I am British. I mean, I\u2019m both, but I associate more with being British. When I play roles with British accents, there\u2019s something about it that feels like I\u2019m speaking naturally, even though I\u2019m having to put it on. Whenever I land here, I feel like I\u2019m coming home. Especially after not being able to for years. Just even hearing the accent when we boarded the plane [yesterday], there\u2019s just such a comfort in it,” she revealed.<\/p>\n

Collins also revealed that she can speak French in real life<\/a>, which was interesting for her to fake it while in character. “It’s very weird. I grew up speaking French in school, and my little brothers are half-Swiss, so I started speaking French with them at a young age, and I started dreaming in it and reading it,” she said. “And then I stopped practicing and then my confidence went down, and my little brother’s English was far better than my French<\/a>, so I kind of started to give up. Then, when I went back for Emily, I was like, ‘OK, I am going to make it my mission to speak French fully, and then Emily is so bad at French and I am playing a character who is the most American I think I have ever felt in my entire life, it was very difficult to decipher between the two. So, my French I think got worse. I am going to start practicing it.”<\/p>\n
