The Emily in Paris cast are not thrilled with Lucas Bravo’s recent comments about the show. Which, in case you missed them, were kinda !!!!!
“The show will go on with or without Lucas,” a source tells Us Weekly. “The show is Emily in Paris—not ‘Gabriel in Paris.’ Everyone is so upset about the remarks he made. There is going to be a lot of tension.”
Speaking to IndieWire last month, Lucas said, “The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take. I’ve never been so far away from him.”
He went on to add, “In season 1, there was a lot of me in him. But as they made him kind of unaware of his surroundings, of the dynamic, always victimizing and always being completely lost in translation and oblivious to anything that is happening around him and being manipulated by everyone, it kind of became not fun for me to shoot or to see a character I love so much and brought me so much, being slowly turned into guacamole. I really grew apart from him.”
But wait, there’s more side-eye inducing comments where those came from! Lucas also said that he “tried” for “seasons” to “bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set. We cannot change a word or an emotion. They know what they want and we just have to comply. It makes me question if I want to be part of season 5…because my contract ends at season 4. I really want to see if Gabriel gets back to his fun, cheeky, playful, alive self. Because three seasons playing melancholic, sad, depressed, and lost is not fun anymore. It’s a comedy, everybody is having fun around me, everybody is jumping around, and I’m just slowly sinking into god knows what.”
Oooookay!
