Annoyed, will Lucas Bravo leave Emily in Paris before the end?
The French actor casts doubt on his participation in season 5, regretting that Gabriel “is slowly turning into guacamole.”
This could simplify the Cornelian choice ofEmily in Paris… What if the handsome Gabriel was no longer part of the young American’s love equation? In any case, Lucas Bravo puts pressure on the production of the hit Netflix romantic series. In a new interview with IndieWire, the French actor confides that playing Gabriel “no longer fun” for him and thus leaves doubt about the future of his character, as season 5 arrives. He details:
“This ‘sexy boss’ character was an integral part of me in Season 1. Except we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and the direction they take him! They got him rendered somehow oblivious to his surroundings, the dynamics, always a victim and completely lost, even oblivious to everything going on around him He is being manipulated by everyone and it’s no longer fun for me to see this. character that I love so much and who has given me so much, slowly turning into guacamole. I really distanced myself from him.
In other words, Lucas Bravo doesn’t like the story choices around Gabriel and he goes even further, regretting that his suggestions are never taken into account: “We don’t have a lot of freedom on set. We cannot change a word or an emotion. They (producers) know what they want and we just have to comply with it.“And the French actor said:
“It makes me wonder if I want to be a part of season 5… because my contract ends at season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel becomes fun, cheeky, playful and alive again. Because three seasons to go a melancholy, sad, depressed and lost character, it’s no longer fun. It’s a comedy, everyone around me is having fun, everyone is jumping around, while Gabriel slowly sinks into it. God knows what…”
So the production ofEmily in Paris will she accede to his script requests? Or Lucas Bravo will he be absent from season 5 while Emily remains in Rome?
“I love the series. She’s the one who started it all for me“, tempers the Frenchman who recognizes: “Saying this, I feel like I’m not being kind or grateful, but when you love something, you want it to be the best version of it. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been frustrated with the direction my character is taking. But we’ll see where that takes us. The series is not over.”
Waiting for, Lucas Bravo will be on display at Freethe new film by Mélanie Laurent, this Friday on Prime Video.
