Lily Collins has revealed she didn’t get any special treatment from her husband Charlie McDowell while filming her latest film, Windfall, which he directed.
The actress, 33, joined forces with her filmmaker spouse, 38, to work on the new Netflix picture but insisted that he treated her just like any other member of the cast.
She told The Hollywood Reporter: ‘It’s really funny because I kept forgetting that we were together, because he treats everyone equally and he’s such an actor’s director.
‘The way in which he communicates was so easy that it felt as easy as it normally is. But I always saw him as my director.
‘Obviously, going home at the end of the night to talk about the day is different.’
It comes after the daughter of Phil Collins celebrated half a year of marriage with Charlie.
The pair were seen fist-bumping each other in one of the pictures shared to Instagram earlier this month.

‘One of my favorite parts of shooting this film was getting to work with my director and love @charliemcdowell,’ she wrote.
Lily went on to express that she was happy to have worked with her spouse and that she was excited about the movie’s upcoming debut.

Lily and her now-husband went Instagram official in 2019, and they made their first public appearance as a couple the following year.
The Emily In Paris star went on to announce that she had become engaged to the filmmaker with a post that was shared to her Instagram account in October of 2020.
The happy couple eventually made their union official during a wedding ceremony that was held in Colorado last October.
