If you found yourself captivated by Lucas Bravo's chef Gabriel on Emily in Paris, you're not alone [1]. There's a reason Emily found herself drawn to him, seeing as Lucas is not only extremely charming [2] but handsome as well. If you're wondering where he's been prior to his role as Gabriel [3], Lucas primarily appeared in French-language television and films. Luckily, the 32-year-old actor is adding a few more global roles to his résumé, including the upcoming film adaptation of Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris. You probably don't need any more reasons as to why you should join the Lucas Bravo bandwagon, but if you're still on the fence, check out the facts ahead.
He Loves Sex and the City
Lucas was thrilled at the idea of getting to work with Sex and the City [5] creator Darren Star on Emily in Paris [6]. "I adore Sex and the City, honestly. I watched it so many times over and over," he said in a previous interview with Glamour. "I learned so much about things you should or shouldn't do — in bed or elsewhere — thanks to that show. That's why I felt pressure the first time I auditioned for Darren, because he's so iconic to me [7]."
He Was Once a Sous Chef
Apparently, chefs as hot as Gabriel do exist, because Luca used to be one in real life. "I was a sous chef [8] in a restaurant a few years ago. When I first got the scripts, I was like, 'Oh, wow, this is definitely for me, I'm definitely going to use these skills,'" he recalled to Manny the Movie Guy. "And so they made me cook the omelettes that I had made for Emily on the show."
He's Also a Model
Lucas is currently signed to modelling agencies [9] Tribe Management and Viva Model Management. Previously, he modelled for Chanel [10] with Ellie Bamber.
He's Lived in the Forest
This past summer, after living in Paris, Lucas decided to relocate to Fountainebleau, a small town in the countryside, which he considers the forest [11]. Lucas told Glamour that living in Fountainebleau, he could "hear nothing but the wind in the trees and the birds in the morning."
He's Currently Single
He confirmed to Glamour that he's not dating anyone [12] at the moment. When asked by the outlet whether he'd date a fan, he stated that, "I don't really have fans, so I don't know." Well, he certainly has fans after Emily in Paris [13], so that answer at least gives us hope.
