The Lily No One Knows

A “massive” Spice Girls fan, Lily Collins once claimed she would lip sync the rap portion of “Wannabe” anytime, any place.

So when the Emily in Paris lead appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Sept. 17, the host took her up on the challenge and played the iconic song. Lily stood up, danced and matched Mel B’s words perfectly.

It was something her plucky alter ego, Emily Cooper, might do on Lily’s hit Netflix series. But the move was actually a bit off-brand for the actress herself.

“Lily is quite shy, not as bubbly or outgoing as her character,” shares an insider. “She says that people don’t realize that she’s a total homebody in real life!”

Indeed, even though she began acting at age 2 on the BBC comedy-drama Growing Pains, Lily, 35, is hardly a Hollywood party girl. “I love watching reality TV shows because they help me unwind and relax,” she’s said. “I love Top Chef, Real Housewives and Project Runway.”
