Ashley Park recalls ‘unforgettable’ on-screen fight with Lily Collins

Ashley Park is dishing on the scene in season 5 of Emily In Paris, in which she hurls baked goods at Lily Collins.

In the episode Mindy Chen throws croissants at on-screen bestie Emily Cooper, and the 34-year-old has revealed all that went on behind-the-scenes of filming.

Talking to People at PaleyFest LA 2026, she said during the panel, “Oh my gosh. Well, that was actually interesting, because we always say that so much of our characters are inspired very much by our own friendship. Like, we’ve never had a fight like that. We’ve never had a conversation like that.”

Ashley went on to say that her and Lily communicate very well and thought it was a good time for their characters, Mindy and Emily respectively, to learnt that as well.

The 34-year-old added of the fight, “croissants are very light, so in order to aim it properly, you have to really chuck it hard. And so I was not aiming it correctly so well…I will never forget the imprint of croissant crumbs on her face.”

The actress stated that her and the 37-year-old were almost resistant to the storyline and the fight but then came around to it because they believe that being able to communicate through altercations makes bonds stronger.
