As the impossibly chic and insouciant Sylvie Grateau in hit TV series Emily in Paris, French actor Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu has won a legion of fans worldwide – and learnt how to ‘not give a damn’ in her own life.

Her only request is that she speaks to me off-camera. “I am a bit tired. I just don’t want to turn the [Zoom] camera on, if you don’t mind,” she says politely.
