Emily in Paris cast members discuss the length of Emily’s stay in France
From a clueless, newly shifted American to fluently conversing in French, Emily Cooper seems to be right at home in France. As Season 5 premieres on December 18, the cast of Emily in Paris reflected on the quirky fashionista’s journey so far in an exclusive red carpet interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Although the cast hasn’t explicitly discussed the exact length of Emily’s stay in France, they offered their own explanations to the looming question. Ending the long-running fan debate with a philosophical answer, actress Lily Collins said, “Time is just a construct, who cares!”
As for Ashley Park, who plays Emily’s best friend Mindy Chen in the popular series, time seemed to have gone by extremely quickly. “For me, I think between the first two seasons and the next two, it was only like a couple of days”, the Joy Ride actress said.
Meanwhile, William Abadie, who plays the charismatic Antoine Lambert, revealed that he got into playful banter with a colleague about the length of Emily’s stay in France. “I had an argument with a colleague of mine. I was like ‘It’s been four years,’ and she’s like, ‘No, it’s been four months!’” the actor laughingly shared.
While there were no exact quotes from the cast members discussing the length of the protagonist’s stay, it highlighted that Emily’s adventures in France are far from over, with Season 5 seeing her split her time between Paris and Rome.
