Lucas Bravo, known for his role as Gabriel in the Netflix hit Emily in Paris, recently revealed he’s contemplating an exit from the popular rom-com series. Bravo, who plays the on-again-off-again love interest of Emily Cooper, expressed concerns in an interview with IndieWire about the show’s character development, particularly around Gabriel’s storyline. The actor’s remarks have sparked conversation among fans and cast doubt on his future with the series.
Frustration with Gabriel’s Character Arc
Bravo, 36, admitted feeling “frustrated with the direction my character is taking.” In season one, Gabriel’s character resonated strongly with him, yet, he noted, as each season progressed, he found himself growing disconnected from the character. Bravo pointed to Gabriel’s choices and the overall direction the character was pushed toward, which he feels strays from the authentic portrayal initially established.
Questioning Future Involvement
The French actor further elaborated on the challenges he’s facing with his role, highlighting his concerns about the “lack of risk” in the show’s storytelling approach. He voiced doubts about returning for season five, given that his contract ends after season four. Bravo expressed that this potential exit is something he’s seriously considering, especially as the current storyline has made him question his involvement in future seasons.
Mixed Feelings About Leaving
Despite his frustrations, Bravo shared that Emily in Paris holds a special place in his heart. He acknowledged that the series was pivotal in his career, as it opened doors and brought him international recognition. In his words, he “loves the show” and values the opportunities it has provided. However, his sense of artistic fulfillment seems to be at odds with the role’s current direction, leaving fans curious about his ultimate decision.
Uncertain Future for Gabriel
Bravo’s candid reflections underscore a larger question regarding character growth and evolution in Emily in Paris. With no official word on whether season five will see Gabriel return, fans are left in suspense about how the story will evolve and what impact Bravo’s potential departure could have on the beloved show.
