Lily Collins is too thin in Emily in Paris

[Anonymous]

I agree. She looks unhealthy.

Op here. I’m a thin woman. Have always been! I am 5 feet and was 90 lbs as a teen. Now at 34 I’m 100 lbs. so trust me when I say, Lily Collins looks scary thin and not normal, healthy thin.

Just started Season 2 and it opens with a recap of Season 1. The cut to her jogging after seeing how she looked in the first season is jarring - from very slender and youthful to dangerously thin with a much older face.

My mother and my best friend are “scary thin”. Neither have eating disorders. They have tiny appetites and eat whatever they want. My mother slathers thicker butter on her bread than the bread slice. She’s still severely underweight. My son is like this too. I wish I could be like this sometimes…

Lily Collins *does* have an eating disorder, is the difference.

Maybe she's perfectly fine. Maybe she's not. But you're not her doctor or her parent, so it's none of your business.

Louder for the people in the back. I grew up just like you, and it's only as I've hit middle age that I have filled out enough to not get those comments anymore. Some people are just born thin, period.

If some people are born thin then we must accept that some are born fat and just leave everyone alone. How about that?

Not only that, but she has clearly lost more weight since the last season was filmed.

But is talking cruelly about her body is not going to do anything to help her or anyone else. It's just cruel.

I'm not sure anyone was speaking cruelly about her. I hear concern. I literally teared up when I watched the preview for Season 2 out of concern stemming from the knowledge that she has struggled with an eating disorder.

I was born thin, and it didn't stop me from developing an eating disorder in adolescence and becoming even thinner. I was able to divert attention with the claim "but I've always been very thin" which was totally true. Even my parents didn't pick up on it. But there's a line between healthy and unhealthy. And it's obvious when someone becomes unhealthy. There are pictures of Lily Collins online where she is clearly on the healthy side of that line, but her recent appearance is not.

Person with an eating disorder who has had plenty of relapses over the years. I had to stop watching it. I agree about the opening scene of her running in the park being painful to see. It brought me back to my own darkest days and I knew I absolutely needed to turn off the show. Her neck looked ready to snap.

I find her weight distracting to the character.

Just like some are born fat

The scene where she is actually running was pretty disturbing actually because it doesn’t look like a body that should exert itself and because I think it’s the only time her face has had a real emotional expression and it felt very dark.

The best scene is during the party when there is brief, incredible “party montage” and then a scene where they had all the extras dancing in the background but neglected to put in any music later.

I watch in spite of her and her stupid wardrobe. I like the scenes of Paris, her nanny friend, and her work crowd.

OK now I need to watch this show. Is it offensive to French people? I'm French.
