“To be honest with you, it’s not my kind of thing, and Lily knows that,” the 82-year-old ‘A Clockwork Orange’ star said of the hit show. “But I’m the biggest fan of my daughter-in-law. I think she’s absolutely one of the great actresses.”

“As far as I’m concerned, when she’s on the screen, there’s nobody else on it, because she’s not only a good actress, but she has a beautiful quality,” the proud FIL added. “I suppose, it’s a sort of charisma.”

Moreover, McDowell also mentioned that Paris owes Collins ‘a great debt’ for all the tourism she brought in with her feature. “I’m sure [it] has gone up so much from people in the United States watching and going, ‘Yeah, let’s go to Paris,'” he maintained.
