by

Malcolm McDowell isn’t keeping up with Emily Cooper’s adventures abroad.

Interestingly enough, the actor from A Clockwork Orange has confessed that he hasn’t seen Emily in Paris, a fact that might come as a surprise given his connection to its lead actress Lily Collins, who happens to be his daughter-in-law.

In the interview published on August 23, Malcolm expressed honestly that it isn’t his preference, and Lily is well aware of this fact.

Although he doesn’t actively watch her popular series, the 82-year-old individual is a strong backer of Lily. Notably, Lily is married to Charlie McDowell, who happens to be the son of his ex, Mary Steengurgen.

In this paraphrase, I’ve aimed to maintain the original meaning while making it more conversational and easy to understand.

Speaking from personal experience, I can’t help but express my deep admiration for my daughter-in-law. In my humble opinion, she ranks among the greatest actresses out there today.

The British acting icon couldn’t help but express admiration, saying, “Her beauty is just stunning!” In my opinion, whenever she appears on screen, she’s the only one who exists there.

Malcolm also acknowledged that Lily’s program motivated tourists to explore Paris, the city where the series takes place.

He remarked about Phil Collins’ 36-year-old daughter, suggesting that her fame likely skyrocketed due to Americans watching her and thinking, “Let’s visit Paris!

But while Malcolm hasn’t tuned in to the past four seasons, a new location might change his mind.

In the press release, it’s stated that Emily finds solace in her French way of life for stability, but a hidden truth jeopardizes one of her most intimate bonds. Navigating through the turmoil with sincerity, Emily grows stronger connections, gains fresh insights, and becomes eager to explore new opportunities.

In the fifth season, Lily is joined by her co-stars Ashley Park, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, Lucas Bravo, Lucien Laviscount, Eugenio Franceschini, Samuel Arnold, and Bruno Gouery.
