The name Lucas Bravo has become synonymous with the hit Netflix series, Emily in Paris. His character, a charming chef, has captured the hearts of millions of viewers around the globe. But who is the man behind this irresistibly charming actor? Behind this success stands a father, Daniel Bravo, a former international footballer and sports commentator, who closely follows his son’s career, as reported by Télé 2 semaines.

Invited onto the show Les 12 coups de midi, hosted by Jean-Luc Reichmann, Daniel Bravo did not hide his pride in his son. “I am very, very proud of him. It’s true that it’s not an easy profession,” he admitted. He went on to say: “He built himself up on his own, doing many auditions over the years and various odd jobs to eventually seize the chance to be cast. He continues on his path.”

Family support is the key to Lucas Bravo’s success.

Daniel is not the only one in the Bravo family supporting the young actor. Daniel’s wife, Éva, and the other children also closely follow Lucas’s progress in the entertainment world. This is a testament to the strong ties that bind the family. Daniel Bravo, married to Éva for over 30 years, explained how much the family is involved in the actor’s journey.

Jean-Luc Reichmann, the show’s host, also praised this relationship, mentioning Éva. According to Daniel Bravo, this support and family stability are crucial in allowing Lucas to chase his dreams despite the pressures of the film industry.

Father and son: two different careers, but a mutual respect.

While Lucas Bravo has chosen the arts and fiction, his father built a career firmly rooted in sports. A renowned midfielder, Daniel Bravo made his mark in the 1980s and 1990s with his performances on French and international pitches. Transitioning from player to commentator, he has thrived in environments where discipline and passion remain paramount—traits he has likely passed down to Lucas.

Despite their vastly different career choices, both father and son share a mutual respect for each other’s professional paths. Lucas’s transition from minor roles to significant parts is, in his father’s eyes, proof that every journey, even the most uncertain, can lead to incredible successes when one remains determined and self-assured.
