Lily Collins has been compared to Audrey Hepburn by her father-in-law Malcolm McDowell.
The 35-year-old actress has been married to actor Malcolm's son Charlie McDowell, 41, since 2021 and 'Voyage of the Damned' star Malcolm 81, has compared her to the late Hollywood screen legend.
He told People: "Lily is absolutely a star. I'm in awe of her work. I think she's one of the best young actresses around.
"I love watching her — she's got that Audrey Hepburn kind of thing going, which is indefinable in a way, but it's there."
Audrey - who died in 1993 at the age of 63 - was a screen icon of the 1950s and 1960s and starred in classics like 'Sabrina' and 'My Fair Lady', for which she received an Academy Award nomination.
Macon added: "There's a sort of light that shines behind the eyes somehow. She's really fantastic. And she's just like that, by the way — when you meet her, she's what you meet and what you see is what you get. She's delightful."
Lily- who is the daughter of musician Phil Collins and his second wife Jill Tavelman -started her career more than a decade ago with films like 'The Blind Side' and 'Abduction' but these days is best known for starring in the title role of the Netflix hit 'Emily in Paris'.
Malcolm noted that both his son and his daughter-in-law are "wonderful people" but admitted that he doesn't get to see them nearly as often as he would like because he lives in the US and they are based in Europe.
He said: "They're both wonderful people. "I don't see enough of them. They live in Europe a lot of the time, so I don't really see them that much, but when I see them, it's always great to just hang."
Lily previously admitted that it is "always a juggle" to manage her career and her personal life but is getting used to "blending" the two so they are prepared if they started a family.
She told Harper's Bazaar: "Of course, I’d love to have a family. So there’s the personal, the work, there’s the blending of the two.
"It’s always a juggle, but I want it to be – I want to be able to do all the things I enjoy. The key thing is finding out what makes sense for us."
