Biography
About Lily Collins
With classic features and a warm smile, Lily Collins presents a polished yet approachable presence both on and off screen. At 37, she moves between independent films and mainstream series with ease, a balance that few actors manage so consistently. She is a British and American actress with a career that spans more than three decades, having worked as a model, producer, and TV host along the way.
Lily was born on 18 March 1989 in Guildford, Surrey, England, and was raised in Los Angeles. She first appeared on screen at age two in the BBC sitcom Growing Pains, but her breakout role came in 2009 as a supporting actress in the sports drama The Blind Side. She followed with roles in Priest, Abduction, Mirror Mirror, and The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, showing a versatility that would define her career. For her performance in Rules Don't Apply, she earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress, and her portrayal of a young adult with anorexia in To the Bone was widely praised. She also appeared in the biopics Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile, Tolkien, and Mank.
She has played Fantine in the BBC miniseries Les Misérables and, since 2020, has been a familiar face as Emily Cooper in the Netflix series Emily in Paris, a role that brought her nominations for both a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy. She also wrote a memoir called Unfiltered: No Shame, No Regrets, Just Me, which discusses her struggles with mental health and body image. With over 28 million Instagram followers, she connects with a large global audience.
