As a gamer who has seen more than a few seasons of TV shows come and go, I can’t help but feel a sense of deja vu when it comes to Lucas Bravo’s recent interview about his future on Emily in Paris. It seems like every other show these days has an actor or two expressing their discontent with the series that catapulted them into stardom.
Fans of “Emily in Paris” have been eagerly anticipating this news: The Netflix original romantic comedy series got renewed for a fifth season way back in September, not too long after the season 4 finale concluded. This exciting development leaves Emily’s life in Rome with Marcello and her past life in Paris with Gabriel vying for her attention as they both try to win her heart.
According to a recent interview given by Gabriel actor Lucas Bravo while promoting his latest film “Libre,” he seems less enthusiastic about his character’s future on “Emily in Paris.” However, it remains unclear if this means he will depart from the series.
As a gamer putting on my detective hat, it seems the actor behind my favorite character in the Netflix series that kickstarted his career isn’t keeping things under wraps regarding his feelings about the show. In a recent chat, he hinted at his stance by calling the storylines outdated and confessing that the role no longer sparks excitement within him. If he’s feeling this way, it might be best for both parties if he moves on from portraying Gabriel.
Lucas Bravo hints at Emily in Paris departure ahead of season 5
In the fourth season of “Emily in Paris,” Emily ultimately decided between Gabriel and Alfie. For a while, she and Gabriel pursued their relationship genuinely, but a disastrous Christmas vacation underscored the significant problems and complexities they faced. Their relationship ended dramatically with an argument, and Emily started dating Marcello. However, by the end of the season, it’s clear that Gabriel still wants Emily back.
For enthusiasts of the show Emily in Paris, it appears many have found themselves more drawn to Emily and Alfie compared to Gabriel. As Emily started dating Marcello, this preference has grown even stronger, making him a favorite over Gabriel. However, it’s not just about personal preference; Gabriel’s actions in season 4 were appalling and difficult to support going forward. It seems like it might be the right moment to let go of the notion of Gabriel as her ultimate match.
Bravo openly admitted to Figaro TV Magazine that the show “Emily in Paris” provided opportunities for him and that it offers enjoyable entertainment. However, he went on to express his mixed feelings towards the series, discussing both the lengthy production time and the degree of inspiration it provides him as an actor.
According to a translation from French, this is what Bravo shared with the magazine about his thoughts on his future on the popular Netflix show:
It will depend on the script because I think I’ve covered everything a bit. 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. The filming of this series lasts five months. Do I want to sacrifice them to tell something that doesn’t stimulate me? I’d like him to find a little 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. 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.
It’s common for actors on long-running TV shows to lose motivation at times and express their feelings about the series. Criticizing a show that kickstarted your career might have been more appropriate in the 2010s. While his comments weren’t extremely inappropriate, as someone who is still part of the cast, they can be perceived as slightly disrespectful to the entire team and the audience as well.
As a devoted admirer, I’d say playing in a delightful romantic comedy series like Emily in Paris requires a unique blend of talents. It’s vibrant, romantic, and light-hearted – not striving for Emmy nominations, though the first season unexpectedly received one for Outstanding Comedy Series. It’s essential not to overthink it. Sometimes, actors from rom-coms or teen dramas dismiss their previous work. However, they shouldn’t. Whether it’s considered “low brow” or “high brow,” every piece of content carries equal value.
Following an impressive showing in Season 4, it’s possible fans might not object if Gabriel transitioned into a less central character. In a sense, Bravo’s observation rings true: Gabriel’s storyline seems to have reached its conclusion. If he no longer pursues Emily and she has no desire for him, what value does he bring to the show? With most viewers now backing Team Marcello, perhaps the writers should consider new directions. As we approach Season 5, a potential cast reshuffle might be on the cards.
