Desperate Housewives creator hints at 1960s prequel
- 07 Dec - 13 Dec, 2024
Lucas Bravo, the 36-year-old star better known as "Gabriel" of Netflix's popular series Emily in Paris, has hinted that he may be finished with the show, citing a lack of intellectual "stimulation". Bravo, who portrays Gabriel, the charming chef and occasional love interest of Emily Cooper, played by Lily Collins, further elaborated, “I do not want to be a part of a cog that does not tend to take the intelligence of viewers into consideration.” Despite Bravo's reservations, Emily in Paris has been renewed for a fifth season, expected to air in mid to late 2025. The show debuted in 2020 and quickly gained a massive following, reportedly being viewed by 58 million households in its first year. Reflecting on his character, Bravo noted that Gabriel and Emily’s relationship was based on a “1990s idea that lovers pull apart, kiss [and] pull apart again.” He stated, “Everything is based on a lack of communication. It’s a bit archaic. Today, the new generation expresses [its emotions] and confronts [them]. I would like [Gabriel] to rediscover a bit of panache.” The actor added, “I don’t really have any freedom [in Emily in Paris], and as people are starting to give it to me elsewhere, I am getting a taste for it.”
