Lily Collins looked worlds away from her glamorous Emily in Paris character on the set of Close Personal Friends in Nottingham on Wednesday – after filming a drug scene for the new movie.
The actress, 36, – the daughter of singer Phil Collins – joins Captain Marvel star Brie Larson, Jack Quaid from The Hunger Games and Henry Golding from Crazy Rich Asians, for the new comedy.
It revolves around a couple who befriend a pair of celebrities while on a trip to Santa Barbara, California, leading to ‘plenty of awkwardly funny moments’.
On Tuesday Lily wore a grungy black leather jacket and cap as she stepped out for filming.
A casual Lily was greeted by film crew members as she made her way to her awaiting chauffeur car with a huge bunch of flowers waiting in the back of the vehicle.
She completed her look with a pair of light blue denim jeans, boots and a chunky grey jumper.

It comes after last time she was seen filming she was shooting scenes for a seedy backstreet drug deal.
Dressed in a burgundy beanie, a denim jacket and Adidas trainers, the actress was barely recognisable as she bought a wrap of crack cocaine in a graffiti-strewn alleyway before her dealer cycles off.
The scene – for a forthcoming Amazon MGM film – was filmed in Kingston, Surrey, in an insalubrious back street next to a fancy dress and party balloon shop called Partica.
Plot details regarding the film have been kept strictly under wraps so far.
Lily recently finished filming the fifth series of Emily In Paris, although a lot of it was recorded in Rome after Emily Cooper, the fictional American advertising executive she plays, moved there.
The star – who is married to film director Charlie McDowell, the son of actors Malcolm McDowell and Mary Steenburgen – became a mother by surrogacy earlier this year to a daughter named Tove.
The pair said at the time: ‘Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way.’
It comes after Netflix announced that season five of Emily In Paris will be released on December 18.

The show follows the life and loves of American Emily after beginning a new life in Paris as a social media strategist.
But this season, she is taking on a new city – and she looked more than a little loved-up in the first-look snaps.
The season five synopsis reads: ‘Now the head of Agence Grateau Rome, Emily faces professional and romantic challenges as she adapts to life in a new city.
‘But just as everything falls into place, a work idea backfires, and the fallout cascades into heartbreak and career setbacks.
‘Seeking stability, Emily leans into her French lifestyle, until a big secret threatens one of her closest relationships.
‘Tackling conflict with honesty, Emily emerges with deeper connections, renewed clarity, and a readiness to embrace new possibilities.
Darren Star, the show’s creator, said: ‘This season is a Tale of Two Cities. Rome and Paris. Straddling both, Emily takes love and life to the next level.’
In series five, Emily is to take a romantic trip to Venice with handsome Marcello Muratori, played by Eugenio Franceschini.
Filming locations this week will include the Hotel San Daniele, the Santi Giovanni and Paolo basilica and the Grand Canal.
