Actor Lily Collins, who plays the character of Emily Cooper in  ‘Emily in Paris’ , defended her role during a recent interview with Nylon, saying that she admires all of the character’s qualities — even the ones that others might think are “annoying.”

“A lot of the qualities that Emily has, if you put them on paper, would seem so annoying,” Collins told the magazine, reports peoplc.com.

However, she thinks that Emily is actually quite the opposite.

“To have someone be optimistic, bright and bubbly — it’s sad to think that people would look and go, ‘That’s a lot,’ ” she continued.

“They’re such beautiful qualities, and the fact that she can partner that with being vulnerable and asking for help and making mistakes — she’s not infallible,” she said.

The first season of ‘Emily in Paris’ followed the titular heroine’s new life as a marketing executive in Paris and the glamorous culture shock of moving from Chicago to the fashion capital.

Last month, Netflix unveiled the first photos for the upcoming second season of Emily in Paris.

In the first look at the new season, which is set to hit the streamer on Dec. 22, fans see Emily continuing to live her best life in France, while also getting a glimpse at some of the fashion moments that the show is known for.
