Lucas Bravo has some thoughts about his future with the hit show Emily in Paris.
The actor, 36, whose idea for his character Gabriel’s restaurant to go vegan was quashed, now seems to be wondering if he should return to the the romantic comedy at all.
In an interview with Le Figaro, the heartthrob hinted that while the Emmy-nominated series has helped him gain name recognition, it does not ‘stimulate’ him as an actor.
‘Emily in Paris gave me a snowball effect which allowed me to meet certain people, to try to set up something lasting,’ he told the publication.
He admitted the romantic comedy in which he and Lily Collins‘ Emily are in an on-again/off-again relationship is ‘good entertainment’ and an escape’ but lacks depth.

‘I feel the need to raise awareness a little about what I’m saying,’ he explained of what he hopes to achieve as an actor.
Netflix has already renewed the show for a fifth season, but whether his character, Gabriel, will be a part of the storyline remains to be seen.
At the end of season four, Emily had moved to Rome, which might make it easier for Bravo to seamlessly exit the show.
‘It’s going to depend on the scenario because I think I’ve done the trick a bit,’ he explained.
The performer, who has made several films in the off-season, including his upcoming Freedom, seems to think he might need break from the series.
‘I don’t really have any freedom and, as people start to give me some elsewhere, I’m getting a taste for it,’ he explained.
‘Life is short. The filming of this series still lasts five months. Do I want to sacrifice them to tell something that doesn’t stimulate me?’ he queried.
The actor also seemed to think the romance between Gabriel and Emily was decades out of style.
‘On the last season, the writing was in this idea of the 90s where lovers move away, kiss, move away again,’ he contended of the show created by Sex and the City’s Darren Star. ‘Everything is based on the lack of communication. It’s a bit archaic.’

Bravo complained the romance portrayed in season four was ‘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’
If he does return for season five, Bravo said he would like for Gabriel to ‘find a little panache again’ (Pictured in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in November 2023)
‘Today, the new generation verbalizes, confronts each other, it no longer works on this side, we meet and we do not 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 viewers.’
If he does end up signing on for the new season, the actor would like Gabriel to have more skin in the game.
‘I would like him to find a little panache again,’ he said.
