  Speaker 1: Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. When most American actors
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: play British characters or vice versa, they have to fake
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: an accent, but Lily Collins is a bit of a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: rare case. Her dad is superstar britt Phil Collins, her mom, Jill,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: is American, and Lily was born in England before moving
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: to the States as a kid. That puts in a
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: position where both accents come naturally, even though she normally
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: speaks with an American tone. She tells l I'm British.

• 0:31

• 0:37
  Speaker 1: I feel like I'm coming home. Just even hearing the
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: accent when I board a plane to go there, there's
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: such comfort in it. Lily is back in a nearby
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: country for season two of Emily in Paris, which arrives
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: on Netflix today. That's direct from Hollywood.
