Lily Collins is currently working the promo circuit for the newly released fourth season of the Netflix series Emily in Paris, in which she plays the titular character.

But in one of her recent interviews, the 35-year-old star reflected on the project that arguably launched her career back in 2009: The Blind Side.

While Lily, who is the daughter of British musician Phil Collins, first started acting at the age of two with a role in the BBC sitcom Growing Pains, The Blind Side was her first ever movie — and she has now praised her costar Sandra Bullock for taking her “under her wing.”

“Was there a person that was that guiding light when you were first starting out as an actor?” the star was asked, prompting Lily to admit that she feels “very, very lucky” for the experience she had when she “first started out.”

Lily then revealed that she stayed in touch with Sandra after filming wrapped as she reflected on how much she valued seeing a strong woman take control on her first-ever movie set.
