Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo ‘doesn’t have any freedom’ as he lashes out at Netflix show

Lucas Bravo, the show’s star, threatened to leave, despite the fact that he is a worldwide fan.

The popular Netflix series, which premiered in 2020, stars the French actor as Gabriel the chef. Although Lily Collins’ titular Emily Cooper’s main love interest is based on him, she recently switched to an entirely different Italian love interest after the fourth season.

After watching his character fade into the background, Lucas now says he wants to stop watching the series. The French actor, who made his acting debut in the 2013 drama Sous le soleil de Saint-Tropez, which means “Under the Saint-Tropez sun,” has been frustrated by how his character has developed.

He added that he no longer can relate to the screenplays he is expected to write. He claimed that because of the choices he makes and the direction they direct him in, “The ‘sexy chef’ was very much a part of me in Season 1 and we grew apart season after season. I’ve never been so far from him.

He continued, in his chat with IndieWire: “In Season 1, there was a lot of me in him. But as they made him seem less aware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, who was constantly victimizing, unaware of anything that was happening to him, and who was being manipulated by everyone, it kind of got tiresome for me to shoot or watch a character I love so dearly who was slowly turned into guacamole. I really developed a separation from him.

Lucas’s most recent comments come after a biting interview he gave to French magazine Le Figaro where he claimed to be about to leave the popular Netflix series. When asked if he would return for season five, he replied, “I think I’ve covered everything a little.” I don’t really have any freedom and, as I’m starting to be given some elsewhere, I’m getting a taste for it. Life is short. This series’ five-month filming is. Do I want to give up on them in exchange for telling “something that doesn’t stimulate me”?

When asked what his character should do, he responded, “I want him to find some panache again.” In the last season, the writing was in this idea of the 90s where lovers move away, kiss, move away again… Everything is based on the lack of communication. It’s a bit archaic. Today, the new generation verbalizes, confronts each other, it doesn’t work anymore this side we cross paths and we don’t understand each other”.

He added: “People see this mechanism coming from miles away… And I don’t want to be part of a cog that tends not to consider the intelligence of the spectators”.
