Le Président Français et le Maire de Rome se disputent pour Emily à Paris
‘Emily in Paris’ Lily Collins Reveals Who She Thinks Her Character’s One True Love Is
President Emmanuel Macron won’t let Emily say “au revoir” to the City of Love for good.
After all, the Emily in Paris protagonist may find a new home in Italy during season five, but the French official knows where her heart truly is.
“We will fight hard,” Macron told Variety in an interview published Oct. 9. “We will ask them to remain in Paris! Emily in Paris in Rome doesn’t make sense.”
Meanwhile, the Italian capital’s Mayor Roberto Gualtieri isn’t so keen on sending away Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, with a beret and baguette.
“Don’t worry: Emily is doing very well in Rome,” Gualtieri quipped on X Oct. 9 in Italian. “And then you can’t control your heart: let’s let her choose.”
However, the city’s mayor eventually shared exactly how he felt about pleas to keep Emily in Paris.
“Doesn’t President Macron have more pressing matters to worry about?” he asked The Hollywood Reporter Roma. “I would like to believe, at least I would like to hope, that Macron was joking, because he ought to know that a production company like Netflix does not take orders from heads of state or make decisions based on political pressure.”
