As a seasoned viewer and critic of television shows, I must admit that my initial fascination with Emily In Paris was not only fueled by its vibrant setting but also by the captivating performance of Gabriel, played by the talented Luca Bravo. However, it seems that behind the scenes, things might not be as enchanting as they appear on screen.


It seems that Lucas Bravo’s recent criticisms about the popular Netflix show Emily in Paris have allegedly caused tension within him and the rest of the cast.

Bravo voiced his concerns to the French newspaper Le Figaro, stating that his character in the production was losing depth and the storylines involving him were becoming predictable and repetitive, causing tension on set.

In a recent conversation with IndieWire, the 36-year-old French actor reaffirmed his criticisms, expressing dissatisfaction over his limited role in shaping his character and the perceived lack of boldness in the show’s production.

The show, titled ‘Emily in Paris,’ will carry on whether Lucas is involved or not, according to a source who spoke to Us Weekly on Wednesday. Essentially, the focus of the series isn’t on Gabriel in Paris, but rather on Emily in Paris.

They added added: ‘Everyone is so upset about the remarks he made.’

There’s some ambiguity about whether Bravo will get a spot in season five of Emily In Paris, or if he’d choose to come back, given his recent statements that his contract ended after season four.

If Bravo returns to the Emily in Paris set, there could potentially be quite a bit of stress or friction, according to the insider’s claim.

During his conversation with Le Figaro, the heartthrob subtly suggested that although the Emmy-nominated series has boosted his fame, it doesn’t challenge or excite him as an actor.

He shared that the show “Emily in Paris” had a domino effect on him, enabling him to connect with particular individuals and attempt to establish long-term relationships, as he explained to the press.

He admitted the romantic comedy in which he and Lily Collins’ Emily are in an on–off relationship is ‘good entertainment’ and an escape’ but lacks depth.

He clarified that he wants to subtly emphasize the importance of his statements, as an actor.

It’s confirmed that the show will have a fifth season on Netflix, however, it’s uncertain if the character, Gabriel, will continue to feature in the upcoming episodes.

By the close of season four, Emily relocated to Rome, potentially allowing for a smooth departure from the series by Bravo.

‘It’s going to depend on the scenario because I think I’ve done the trick a bit,’ he explained.

The actor, known for creating movies during downtime such as his forthcoming project “Freedom,” appears to contemplate a hiatus from the series.

He stated that he currently lacks much freedom, but as others begin to grant him more, he is finding himself enjoying the newfound taste of independence.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I pondered, “Time is precious. This series production spans another five months. Is it worth giving up these valuable moments to share something that fails to spark my passion?

The actor also seemed to think the romance between Gabriel and Emily was decades out of style.  

In the last season, the narrative style seemed to echo the ’90s theme where couples separate, kiss, then separate again, according to his viewpoint about the series produced by Darren Star, who also created Sex and the City. Everything revolves around poor communication. It feels somewhat outdated.

Today, members of the newer generations express their thoughts differently, leading to misunderstandings rather than resolution, as our ways of communication seem to be disconnected.

From afar, it’s clear that this process is approaching… I don’t wish to become a wheel in a machine that often overlooks the intelligence of its audience. (Paraphrased)

If he agrees to join for the upcoming season, the actor hopes that Gabriel’s role will be more substantial.

‘I would like him to find a little panache again,’ he said. 

During a conversation with IndieWire on October 29th, Bravo explained that he gradually became less connected to his character as each new season progressed, due to the decisions his character made and the paths those decisions led him down.

He said it was ‘not fun’ to watch a character he previously ‘love[d]’ change so drastically.  

He expressed doubt about joining Season 5, as his agreement concludes with Season 4.

Among the issues he faced while working on Emily in Paris was a lack of freedom to add depth to his character. He felt that despite trying to introduce nuances, he was limited in what he could do on set.

As a die-hard admirer, I can’t help but echo his sentiments: “I can’t tinker with a single word or feeling. They’ve got their vision, and all we can do is follow suit.

Bravo proposed an idea that the creators of the series might be hesitant to stray from the established pattern, for they feared potentially alienating conservative or less cultured audience members.

Bravo proposed, ‘They likely value some unquantifiable factor that contributed to their success, making them wary of altering the original formula. As a result, they’re meticulous about maintaining the status quo.’ In other words, ‘Anything that might veer off course is handled with extra care.’

Despite criticizing the series for not taking enough risks, he emphasized that he continues to value the program and simply hopes it can become the best possible version of itself.

Bravo’s latest film, Freedom, debuts on Prime November 1.
