Lucas Bravo Confirms Return to ‘Emily in Paris’ Despite Criticizing Character’s Storyline
Creator of the popular Netflix series Emily in Paris, Darren Star, has revealed that actor Lucas Bravo, who plays the character Gabriel, never intended to leave the show despite previous criticisms of his character’s storyline. In a recent interview with Deadline, Star hinted at exciting developments in the upcoming season, including surprises in Emily’s love life with the return of Bravo as Marcello.
Season 5 of the show has already started filming in Europe, with Bravo reprising his role as the soulful chef Gabriel, who has been an on-off love interest for Emily, portrayed by Lily Collins. Despite Bravo’s previous public grievances about his character’s direction, Star clarified that it was all a misunderstanding and that the actor was always planning to return for the new season.
Last October, Bravo expressed his concerns about the development of Gabriel’s character in various interviews, stating that he wanted to see more depth and panache in the role. However, in a recent red carpet appearance, Bravo appeared optimistic about the upcoming season, calling it the best one yet and teasing fans with hints of exciting plot twists.
Off-screen, Bravo’s love life has been making headlines as he confirmed his relationship with actress Shailene Woodley. The couple has been sharing glimpses of their romance on social media, sparking dating rumors earlier this year during a trip to Paris. Bravo, who previously kept his dating life private, emphasized the importance of communication in relationships in a 2020 interview with Glamour.
As filming continues for the highly anticipated season 5 of Emily in Paris, fans can expect to see more of Lucas Bravo’s charismatic portrayal of Gabriel, along with new twists and turns in Emily’s romantic adventures in the city of love.
