The Netflix star plays real-life criminal Bruno Sulak in a new movie.

With his ocean blue eyes and perfectly tousled hair, Lucas Bravo has mesmerized countless fans playing sexy chef Gabriel for four seasons on Netflix’s deliciously addictive hit, Emily in Paris.

One of those viewers: actress and director Mélanie Laurent, who sought out Bravo when she was casting her true crime film Freedom about dashing French thief Bruno Lusak.

“She told me, ‘Listen, this character is charming, yes, and you’ve proven that you can do that. Good for you. But now we need to pair that with danger. And there’s danger in you,’” Bravo, 36, recalls Laurent saying.

“I was like, ‘Really? Me?’ And yeah, we all have a dark side. We all have our traumas and darkness and undealt issues and she went inside and she grabbed them and she helped me bring them out. And it was very therapeutic,” he continues.

For Sulak, who died in 1985 at age 29, robbing stores “wasn’t even about the money,” explains Bravo, who says the famed thief was railing against capitalism.

“It was the ’80s, the beginning of big supermarkets, big firms,” he continues. “So he was more simple and everything he was doing was to just create a different stratosphere to fight against this system.”

Before ripping off fancy shops like Cartier, Sulak began with grocery stores, where doe-eyed cashiers became smitten while being robbed. Sulak, after all, insisted on never firing a gun and always being polite to those he held up. Like Bravo, he was also easy on the eyes.

Sulak and his crew “would rob the supermarket and all the cashiers would be interrogated after that and would look at the pictures and be like, ‘Oh, he was cuter. He was so charming and his eyes.’ And we have transcripts of this, which is insane,” says Bravo.

Freedom will only serve to raise Bravo’s profile, something the reserved Frenchman — the son of pro soccer player Daniel Bravo and singer Eva Bravo — is still getting used to after Emily in Paris made him a global sensation.

“My dad actually sent me a beautiful text the other day because he’s always been the famous entity of the family, especially in France and in Paris where he played for a long time,” says Bravo. “So I grew up seeing my father being recognized and appreciated and loved.”

“And he texted me, ‘I was at this dinner the other day and someone came up to me and told me, ‘Oh, you’re Lucas Bravo’s father.’ And my dad was like, ‘I felt so proud and that moment and I needed to share that with you.’ It felt very cute.”
