Lucas Bravo Biography

Lucas Bravo is a French actor, who snagged an MTV award in 2021 for Best Kiss in the romantic comedy "Emily in Paris". In this Netflix series, the blue-eyed heartthrob played chef Gabriel, the neighbor and love interest of the main character.

Childhood

Lucas Bravo was born on March 26, 1988, in Nice, to the family of footballer Daniel Bravo and his wife Eva, a singer and host of an Italian television show.

Daniel and Eva were avid travellers and often brought their son along. This habit remained with Lucas into adulthood:

I travel every two years. My parents travelled a lot, and I had to rediscover myself in each city and country I visited.

Lucas attended Lycée Pasteur, located in the commune of Neuilly-sur-Seine, not far from the Champs-Élysées. At the age of 19, he enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Los Angeles, which he graduated from in 2010.

Acting Career

Lucas's first roles were in French cinema. His debut was in the series by directors Philippe Dajoux and Emmanuel Duberge "Life is Beautiful", which told the story of ordinary people in Marseille.

Then came the role of Jeff in the drama "Sous le soleil de Saint-Tropez" with Adeline Blondieau and Geraldine Adams in the lead roles. In 2014, he played Antonio in the film "La crème de la crème" directed by Kim Chapiron.

The actor's interests were not limited to cinema: in 2017, Lucas starred in a commercial for Chanel. Later, in 2020, he admitted that the world of fashion is also not alien to him:

I love fashion. I'm a caveman, so I'm not too engrossed in fashion events and the like, but I like this opportunity to reinvent myself every time. I get bored easily with what I wear, so I keep reinventing my style. I can be casual, I can be a hippie, I can be cool.»

In 2020, the first season of the hit American series "Emily in Paris" premiered, created by Darren Star. In this show, Lucas perfectly embodied Emily Cooper's love interest, Gabriel - one of the main characters. After this role, Bravo instantly became a new sex symbol.

While French critics slammed the series for its abundance of Parisian stereotypes and clichés, many viewers saw it as a chance to unwind and laugh during lockdown. In an interview with Cosmopolitan, Lucas explained what he thinks about this:

One life would not be enough to know everything that happens in Paris. It's a whole world in a city. At some point, you have to choose a perspective. French critics, they did not understand the fact that this is just one vision. They say: 'Oh, this isn't what Paris is really like.' Of course it isn't. Paris is so much more.

Lucas believes that with all the negativity in the world right now, a colorful, carefree show featuring romance, fashion, and travel is exactly what we need.

In an interview with "Bazaar", the actor admitted that he has always liked the name Gabriel and dreamed of giving this name to his son or daughter. So when he learned that this is the name of the hero he is about to play, he saw it as a good sign.

The model-handsome actor slipped so naturally into the role of the charming chef—his real-life experience as a sous-chef certainly helped—that after the film's release, he began worrying his good looks might typecast him, preventing him from landing more complex, character-driven roles. He stated this while talking to "The Times" journalists.

He was stunned when his Instagram followers jumped from 12,000 to half a million just one week after the series aired, reaching 1.7 million by early 2022. Before "Emily in Paris" dropped, Instagram was just his way to stay connected with friends—not a promotional tool or popularity platform. In an interview with "Harper's Bazaar" he said about this:

Now everything is different. I have a lot of messages. I don't know if I can keep up with the times. So it's a bit overwhelming. But I like the attention. It's always nice to feel recognized and loved, and I try to navigate this as best I can. My Instagram wasn't this crazy before.

In 2020, in addition to the hit series, Bravo starred in two more French short films, "Relation Libre" and "Arrogance Bikini".

Lucas Bravo's Personal Life

While there's no confirmed word on his dating life, Bravo has frequently talked about his close friendship with Ashley Park, which developed during "Emily in Paris" filming.

He was also romantically linked to Portuguese actress Alba Baptista, his co-star in "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris"—she frequently popped up in his Instagram stories. But since Alba's dating someone named Justin, those rumors fizzled out fast.

Lucas can't stand watching his own movies: "Where someone sees a funny scene or something cute, I just see all the flaws and everything I could have done better."

Bravo loves to travel and be in nature, his Instagram page contains photos and videos that show him climbing a mountain, walking around Venice, or spending time with friends.

He also likes to attend the contemporary art festival "Burning Man". He first attended in 2014 and now tries to go with friends to the Black Rock Desert in Nevada for this event every year, from which he gets a lot of positivity.

Following "Emily in Paris," Lucas's acting career really took off. In 2021, he appeared in two short film projects: the French melodrama "Loving" by Thibaut Buccellato and the drama "Fantasma", which also starred Alexandra Kaptschak, who played Clara in "Emily in Paris".

2022 brought two feature films starring the actor: the drama "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris" directed by Anthony Fabian, in which Lucas starred alongside Lesley Manville and Isabelle Huppert, and the comedy "Ticket to Paradise", where he shared the screen with superstars George Clooney and Julia Roberts.

Interesting Facts

Lucas loves to cook. When Bravo wanted to surprise his friends with creative dishes, he actually got a job at a French restaurant—first as a bartender, then as a sous-chef—to master the art of cooking. But in the series "Emily in Paris", when he had to cook an omelet, he managed to burn it and cut his finger in the process.
