Anyone who’s watched Netflix’s original series “Emily in Paris” — which was created by Darren Star (“Younger,” “Sex and the City”) and stars Lily Collins as the titular Emily in the French capital — is familiar with Lucas Bravo, who plays the show’s infamous “hot chef” Gabriel. As it turns out, the actor almost lost out on the pivotal part because the studio behind the series was hoping for a more established performer.
As Bravo exclusively told People in September 2024, he wasn’t cast as Gabriel right away. To cope with the disappointment of losing such a huge opportunity, he ran away to Corsica.
