Actor Lucas Bravo, who has played the character Gabriel for four seasons in the hit Netflix series EMILY IN PARIS, has finally spoken out about his dissatisfaction with the development of his character. According to Deadline, the star of the series revealed that the role is no longer enjoyable.

"In the first season, many aspects of myself were reflected in the character Gabriel. However, the development of the story has made him seem to lose awareness of his surroundings. He is always positioned as the victim and controlled by other characters. This is what has made the shooting process less enjoyable for me,” Bravo explained in his conversation with Indie Wire.

2. Frustrated With the Direction of Gabriel's Character Development

In an exclusive interview with Indie Wire, the actor also expressed deep concerns about the direction of his character's development. However, in his effort to maintain the character's authenticity, Bravo admitted he has tried to convey his concerns to the production team.

"Gabriel, who has been an important part of my career, is slowly losing his essence. It feels like watching someone you love transform into a stranger. Amid the limitations of the script, I try to add new nuances each season, but the space for improvisation is very limited. Every word and emotion is strictly predetermined, and we just follow the existing directions," he explained with a worried tone.

"For the last three seasons, I have been trapped in a character who is constantly plagued by sadness, melancholy, and confusion. This is in stark contrast to the essence of the series, which is supposed to be a light comedy. While other characters dance in joy, Gabriel seems to be drowning in a pool of gloom," he revealed while reflecting on his character's journey.

Despite facing various challenges in portraying Gabriel, Bravo still acknowledges that EMILY IN PARIS has made a valuable contribution to his career journey.
