Exclusive: ‘Emily in Paris’ Star Samuel Arnold

The Knockturnal: You’re from France, correct? 

Samuel Arnold:

The Knockturnal: Did you feel you had any creative input, any little suggestions for authenticity’s sake?

Samuel Arnold:

The Knockturnal: So were you able to like to show your castmates around?

Samuel Arnold:

The Knockturnal: This is kind of your big American debut, so what’s it like being on a platform as big as Netflix, with as much reach as it has? What’s it like to dive in headfirst or something like that?

Samuel Arnold:

Did you tell them? Like, you guys are my inspiration, you know?

Who are you most excited to see this in your everyday life?

: That’s so awesome that you do have kind of a higher ground thereof being in your home territory, despite it being like this big American project. The big theme in the show is Emily being kind of an outsider. Have there ever been moments where you’ve had a cringe moment where you don’t know what to say or the right thing to say? Have you ever felt kind of like an imposter in certain spaces or like kind of hyper-aware?

: That’s cool! And this is a Darren Star project. Are there other things he’s been involved in that you were a fan of before, or was this your first time like getting to know him?

Samuel Arnold:

: For you, was it just like a cold audition? Did you know anyone involved in the project beforehand?

Samuel Arnold:

: Awesome. And so obviously, this is on Netflix. Because we’ve been kind of stuck at home, are there any other Netflix shows that you’ve been like bingeing or just shows in general?

Samuel Arnold:

: Oh, wow!

Samuel Arnold:

: Definitely different vibe than Emily in Paris! 

Samuel Arnold: Very different vibe!

: And then also I wanted to ask because Emily is like an influencer, she’s got a great big following. Who are your favorite accounts to follow on Instagram? Just for inspiration and just more?

Samuel Arnold:

: And my last question for you is looking forward to more projects, America, France, anywhere, who are some creators that you’d like to collaborate with?
