Paul in Paris! Paul Forman joined the cast of Emily in Paris for season 3 as Nicolas de Leon.
“Bonsoir Emily! 🇫🇷 🥂 🎆 See you on December 21st on @netflix,” Forman, 28, captioned an Instagram photo of himself earlier this month.
Viewers were introduced to the newcomer’s character in episode 2 of season 3 when he meets Emily (Lily Collins) at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, becoming her work nemeses soon after. To complicate matters, Nicolas is also a former boarding school classmate of Emily’s friend Mindy (Ashley Park). When Nicolas and Mindy start dating, Emily’s friendship with Mindy is put to the test.
Forman bonded with his on-screen girlfriend while filming the Netflix series on location in Paris. In September, he posted photos of him and Park, 31, enjoying Paris Fashion Week together. The following month, he shared snaps of him and the Broadway star posing with Shailene Woodley at the Ferrari racetrack in Modena, Italy.
“So, this happened…,” he wrote in the Instagram caption.
Park, for her part, hinted at her character getting a love interest during an appearance on Good Morning America earlier this month. When asked how season 3 differs from past installments, she called it “deeper, sexier and Mindier.”
Although Mindy and Emily’s friendship goes through a rough patch this season, Park and Collins’ off-screen friendship is solid.
“The greatest blessing of this show — and it has afforded us so, so much — has been this friendship,” Park said of her costar, 33, during a Tuesday, December 20, joint interview with Netflix’s Tudum.
Collins, for her part, said that Mindy and Emily’s season 3 rift is a story that many viewers will see themselves in.
“It’s relatable to anyone who’s experienced that feeling of being caught in the middle or being pulled away from someone that you love, and the idea that you don’t have to second-guess somebody when you love and trust them that much,” the Rules Don’t Apply actress said.
When the real-life besties first read the season 3 story line with Forman’s character, they wanted to make sure the conflict between their characters felt authentic. Park said that reading one scene where Emily and Mindy are passive-aggressive to each other left her feeling “icky.”
However, she thinks the conflict ultimately strengthened the fictional pals’ bond. “At a certain point people are like, ‘Oh, this friendship is untouchable. But actually challenging each other — calling each other out and then being there for each other and getting past those little humps — is what really strengthens it,” Park said.
