"My dad says, 'As long as you're happy and do what you're passionate about and for the right reasons, then you've succeeded.'"
Why we love Lily Collins
Lily Collins has a famous dad. Truth be told, she’s probably a bit tired of hearing that by now. But when your dad is slap-headed pop superstar Phil Collins, it's hard to break free of the gravitational pull that surrounds his enormo-success.
Still, lithe’n’lovely Lily is making a very decent fist of becoming a star in her own right – and without any help from Daddy. She became a professional journalist while still a teenager, writing for the likes of Elle Girl, Seventeen, Teen Vogue and the Los Angeles Times. She’s also done a spot of TV presenting and high-fashion modelling, but it seems like movie-making is where her future lies, having already co-starred with the likes of Julia Roberts, Jennifer Connolly and Sandra Bullock. Big, big things are in store.
She’s been waiting for this moment, all her life. Oh lord.
(Sorry, Lily.)
