Emily in Paris star Ashley Park calls Mindy's topless cabaret scene “every actor's worst nightmare”

Ashley Park and her character Mindy experienced in the fourth season of Emily in Paris. Warning, there are minor spoilers for part two.

In a new interview with PeopleThe 33-year-old actress revealed she was just as nervous about Mindy's topless performance of “Oops!…I Did It Again” at the famous Parisian cabaret Crazy Horse. “It was so stressful and so difficult,” she said at the premiere of the second part in Rome on September 10, describing the scenario as “every actor's worst nightmare.”

“We have this recurring memory of being on stage in your underwear and not knowing what you're doing,” Park told the publication. “And that's exactly what I experienced, but all around me were the most beautiful dancers in the world.”

We see Mindy confronting the same fears just before her cabaret performance, especially when she realizes that she will have to sing live on stage without her pre-recorded vocal track. “Now I'm going to choke even more than I did on the Chinese pop star”, she says to Emily (Lily Collins).
