Emily in Paris star Ashley Park talks filming the Netflix series and working with Lily Collins and Darren Star.
from prolific television writer and creator Darren Star . The series follows Emily as she navigates a new life, a new job, and new relationships in the City of Love. Park, whose first time stepping foot in Paris was for this show, joins a host of gorgeous, young local talent as Mindy, an au pair with a deep—albeit apprehensive—desire to share her musical talents with the world.of reading the script."It's just two girls really being curious about each other.
Darren called me personally from Paris, and I remember it was on the opening night of this play, and I was pacing back and forth, and I was like,"I can't believe I'm on the phone with Darren." And he just started being like,"I've seen. I loved you in it." And we were just talking about the character. And he was like,"I don't want it to feel like two American girls in Paris.
Lily was on set every day. She was in every scene, basically. And so I would kind of be the adventurer for the both of us. I was so lucky in that, and also I'm used to the theater world where we just worked like horses. So for me to even have two days off, let alone a week or two off between shooting, it was such a luxury. And I went to Greece and Budapest … literally everywhere. The U.K., I went to a concert in London.
So, on a personal note, I really figured out city life and relationships and friendships through these characters inand these other shows. And I was looking at characters who are all white. The fact that there's going to be somebody who looks like me that's part of this troupe of iconic characters is just very, very cool, for lack of a better word.
