Lucas Bravo might leave ‘Emily in Paris’ because he dislikes Gabriel’s character change.
“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” the actor recently told Indie Wire. “I’ve never been so far away from him.”
Bravo added about playing Gabriel, “It kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”
“It makes me question if I want to be part of Season 5 […] because my contract ends at Season 4,” Lucas revealed. “I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self.”
The actor also said, “Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore. It’s a comedy, everybody is having fun around me, everybody is jumping around, and I’m just slowly sinking into god knows what.”
“I’m an actor and I don’t make choices for him,” Bravo said in another interview after Netflix announced the fifth season of the series. “I don’t know where it’s going to go from here, but I hope we’re not going to go through another Team This or Team That, because I don’t like to be a choice; humans are complex. But, you know, the show is what it is.”
Since ‘Emily in Paris’ started in 2020, Bravo has worked hard to show he is more than just a handsome guy. The actor explained, “I can’t say it’s the part where I’m showing the most range. But it’s not what the show is about. I’m mostly here to support the girls.”
Since his first season in ‘Emily in Paris,’ Bravo has starred in movies like ‘Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris’ with Lesley Manville, Isabelle Huppert, and Jason Isaacs, and ‘Ticket to Paradise’ with Julia Roberts and George Clooney, both released in 2022.
