Emily in Paris star Samuel Arnold has reflected on the show’s fifth season set in Rome and the feelings that come with it.
For those unfamiliar, when the shooting started, Rome was adjusting to the death of Pope Francis before Pope Leo XIV was chosen as his successor.
During a new conversation with We weeklySamuel Arnold reflected on bringing the popular Netflix series to life at the time.
“It made us feel like we were witnessing a historical and cultural moment,” began Arnold, who plays Julien.
“For me personally, it was just fun. I said to myself, ‘I get to do what I love, which is acting in great places.’ It’s priceless.”
He reflected on his own journey, saying, “From the first season to now, Julien has grown in his confidence – work-wise – and in his relationships with the other characters.”
“This season he’s really in his power,” Arnold noted.
“The best thing about the show choosing to film in cities like Paris or Rome is that we can experience the city in the best possible way,” the French actor concluded.
