Lucas Bravo’s recent public complaints about his hit Netflix series Emily In Paris have reportedly created a rift between him and the rest of the cast.
Bravo set the production on edge after he complained to the French outlet Le Figaro about how he felt his character had become less complex and plot lines involving him had become repeтιтive.
The 36-year-old French actor doubled down on his criticisms in a follow-up interview with IndieWire from late last month in which he complained about his inability to contribute to his character and the show’s ‘lack of risk.’
‘The show will go on with or without Lucas,’ a source told Us Weekly on Wednesday. ‘The show is Emily In Paris — not Gabriel in Paris.’
They added added: ‘Everyone is so upset about the remarks he made.’

The source said there is ‘going to be a lot of tension’ if the French actor returns for season five, though he hasn’t said if he will return (pictured with Emily In Paris star Lily Collins)
At the end of season four, Emily had moved to Rome, which might make it easier for Bravo to seamlessly exit the show.
Bravo noted that his contract expired after season four, so it’s unclear if he will be invited back for season five, and if he would even accept if so; still from Emily In Paris

‘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 Sєx and the City’s Darren Star. ‘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 2022 in Hollywood
‘We cannot change a word or an emotion,’ Bravo continued. ‘They know what they want and we just have to comply.’
Speaking to IndieWire, Bravo complained that he can’t change a word his character says. He suggested showrunners are afraid of turning off viewers by making characters more complex; still from Emily In Paris
