A year ago, Lucien Laviscount had never been to Paris.
The 29-year-old Brit was in Brooklyn doing press for a different project when his agent called him.
Laviscount taped an audition and sent it back within the hour.
A few hours after that, he gotthecall.
It was my first time.
The first season ofEmily in Parisnabbed headlines forsending up national stereotypes.
Laviscount does not relate.
Hes smitten with the city.
Its like a museum with the roof blown off.
Filming was the ultimate backstage pass.
He did a party scene from the deck of a bateaux mouche, Eiffel Tower glittering in the distance.
On his last day on set, Laviscount filmed a football match at the Champ de Mars.
he says, excited.
I love the fact that the buildings aren’t so high, so the Eiffel Tower really stands out.
The energy, the electricity.
A fan of Stars, he turned the pilot on casually, noncommittally.
He let one glossy episode autoplay after another until he was nearly halfway through the run.
That’s when I could go to sleep, he says.
I was like, Okay, cool, it’s three in the morning.
You’ve got sh*t to do tomorrow, Lucien.
I raced through the rest within a couple of days, Laviscount admits.
Alfie opens up Emily’s fun side, her dark side, her naughty side.
And I think Alfie’s a great escape from her work life, which she loves so much.
But I think everyone needs an escape sometimes.
