00:00Yes, bring back the art of letter writing.
00:03I'm so excited to open these up.
00:04Oh, this person's been to the fountain.
00:07Here we go.
00:07Oh, Agen's Grotto paper?
00:09Where did you get this stationery?
00:11I want some of that.
00:12I don't even have that.
00:13Wow.
00:13Dear Lily, I'm writing you a letter I probably
00:16should have sent a long time ago.
00:17Perhaps I needed to find both the courage
00:20and the perfect stationery first.
00:22You nailed it.
00:23Emily in Paris came into my life at a very particular moment.
00:26It was right after the lockdown,
00:27and I had just started a new office job
00:29where I felt lost, out of place, even invisible at times.
00:32And then came Emily, your Emily.
00:34She helped me face my own doubts professionally and personally
00:37with more confidence and, dare I say, more style.
00:40I've watched the show dozens of times.
00:42It became a colorful refuge.
00:44Paris, boldness, friendship, dreams,
00:46and that magical way of turning every fall
00:48into a new kind of flight.
00:49Thank you for your talent, your generosity,
00:51and bringing to life a character who helped me
00:53far more than you might imagine with all my inspiration, Raph.
00:57I can't imagine what it would feel like,
00:58I know as Emily, but actually taking the risk
01:01and moving somewhere foreign
01:03and taking a job like you did and succeeding.
01:06So I'm very in awe of you,
01:09and I truly appreciate these words.
01:11And the photo from the fountain.
01:13Aw, nice handwriting.
01:15Lily, this letter comes all the way from Brazil.
01:17I know you have been here before,
01:19and I hope you felt the warmth of our hearts.
01:21You are such a powerful and honest actress.
01:24You truly deliver in every role you play.
01:26But there is something magical about Emily.
01:28Thank you for giving life to such a bright, kind,
01:30funny, and fearless character.
01:32She reminded me that being dreamy,
01:34Delulu, love that word,
01:35and yes, different, is not only okay, it is beautiful.
01:38With love from Brazil, Jean.
01:40Being Delulu is always okay.
01:42These are qualities in Emily that I really love myself,
01:45and I try to aspire to have more of myself as Lily,
01:48so it's really kind of you to say that that comes through.
01:51Dear Lily Collins,
01:53I started watching Emily in Paris when I was 10,
01:55and I loved it so, so much.
01:57And I love how the character you play is so confident.
01:59She even helped me learn how to be more confident.
02:01I'm so excited for season five,
02:03and I wanted to tell you that you are so gorgeous,
02:05and that your baby is adorable.
02:06I hope you have so much fun filming Emily in Paris.
02:08You're amazing. Love, Joanna S.
02:10Thank you, Joanna.
02:12You should always be confident.
02:13I've looked up to many other women who made me feel confident,
02:16so this is a really lovely thing to say, so thank you.
02:19And yes, my baby's adorable. Thank you.
02:22My name is Vafa,
02:23and I'm writing you all the way from Azerbaijan
02:26with a heart full of admiration and warmth.
02:28I've watched Emily in Paris not just once,
02:30but again and again,
02:31not only for the fashion and romance, but for you.
02:33The energy, sincerity, and grace you bring to the screen.
02:37You inspire me to dream bigger, smile more, and embrace who I am.
02:40Your kindness, elegance, and strength
02:42shine through everything you do.
02:44I just wanted to say thank you for being real,
02:46for making us feel seen,
02:47and for sharing your light with the world.
02:49Sending you love and sunshine, Vafa.
02:51We should always dream bigger,
02:53and I need to remind myself of that myself,
02:55so playing Emily certainly does that for me,
02:58and reading letters like this.
03:00Thank you so much to everyone who wrote in.
03:03Your kind words and support means so much to me.
03:05Truly, I'm very, very touched.
03:07You can watch Emily in Paris season five now on Netflix.
03:12—
03:18Well thank you all for doing
03:30so good,
03:32and so Paul can find me here.
