Talking with devonsaysrelax, Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu talks Emily in Paris, the art of portraying Sylvie, and playing season two's 'French bitch'
With no disrespect to Lily Collins’s eyebrows, the most captivating presence in Emily in Paris goes to Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu, who portrays boss Sylvie with so much fear and respect, you almost want to liquidate your savings account to re-create her haute couture wardrobe.
That’s nice, but I don’t agree. [Laughs] The interesting thing is the opposition of these two cultures. If there’s only Sylvie, it wouldn’t be as interesting. This little girl from America comes to Paris and thinks she knows it all and is confronted with these people who are smug and aren’t nice to her. Now that is fun. I’m not making her life easy.
We’re making fun of everybody, basically. That’s the charm of the show: Darren Star is rooting for Emily, but he’s not at the same time. He’s putting her in situations that are huge trials, and now the same is happening with Sylvie, too. It’s going to crescendo. That’s the whole point of their relationship. It’s a “mature feminine who’s teaching a younger feminine something.” I like that aspect of their dynamic a lot.
A line of dialogue about Sylvie that piqued my interest came from her husband, when he told Emily that she “reminds me a bit of you.” I wonder if you agree with that, and if so, how. I have, but it’s something I don’t want to dig too deep into, because I hope season three will reveal more about her. But also, I want to keep it to myself as an actress. It’s my comfort food. There’s a lot of love between Sylvie and her husband, which is a very strong thing for me. She really loves this man, beyond being a husband, so much. He’s her rock. I like the scene where he gives Sylvie the papers when she sells her shares of the café, and he talks about divorce.
