‘Emily in Paris’ Still Hasn't Yet Used Its Super Charming Weapon
The famously attractive and criminally French neighbor of the titular Emily (Lily Collins), a French chef living in France who speaks French, and who is set up as Emily's endgame from Season 1, Episode 1 of Netflix's "Emily in Paris," is played by Lucas Bravo. Although he is kind and gorgeous (and French), he isn't a particularly interesting or fascinating character. However, Lucas Bravo has the ability to deliver both.
Bravo's performance in "Ticket to Paradise" is unquestionably the craziest in the already crazy movie. In order to prevent their daughter from being married on the spur of the moment, bitter ex-spouses David (George Clooney) and Georgia (Julie Roberts) meet in Bali. Bravo portrays Georgia's adoring young fling. It may be argued that the character still lacks depth, but in a way that increases his amusement value and provides Bravo with some of the movie's most effective jokes.
In addition to nailing a tricky sweet spot in character and tone, Bravo also leaves an impression unlike anything in "Emily" that could strengthen the Netflix series in future seasons. It sure is something to outshine two megastars with your comedy and avoid injury from playing Clooney's romantic foil. I had previously thought the range of the "Emily" actor was limited to blandsome. I'm pleading with this program to allow Lucas Bravo to be humorous because it isn't.
Let Gabriel have the pratfalls and punchlines that his co-stars now find amusing. Let him drink again and reveal anything he wants, as long as it's not his love. Gabriel's antics are the ideal approach to avoid upsetting Camille (Camille Razat) and Alfie (Lucien Laviscount) and to get Emily back after they previously decided to be platonic. Actually, what's holding "Emily in Paris" back from going full "Ticket to Paradise"? They need to discover the equivalent of Bravo pulling snake venom out of Julia Roberts' foot during the tour of a cursed island that would ultimately destroy their relationship because these individuals enjoy crazy.
Although "Emily in Paris" is a comedy, Gabriel had been acting somewhat reserved up until this point. In Season 3, Bravo discovered some variety in the character's chemistry and relationships, which placed more of an emphasis on his friendship with Emily and less on his romance with Camille (Camille Razat) (though they are clearly positioned to end up together). Gabriel's realization that he wants to have children later in the season positions him for a more serious Season 4 narrative, for which he might draw on his deft dramatic performance in the summer's "Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris."
Bravo has demonstrated that he can compete with the top stars in the industry and even steal the show. Even while "Emily in Paris" may not be propelling this actor to new heights anytime soon, it did launch an incredibly interesting Hollywood career. Some of the finest Hollywood comedies have a falsely typecast heartthrob who displays unfathomable depths, such as Chris Hemsworth or Channing Tatum. Both performers first gained attention for their attractive features and lean physique, but over time they both carved out a niche and became recognized for their diverse and really enjoyable roles.
Bravo can definitely portray the handsome neighbor or even the gloomy lover, but Netflix may be squandering a valuable hidden weapon. Let "Thor: The Dark World" and "Thor: Ragnarok" be the difference between Seasons 3 and 4 of "Emily," making "Ticket to Paradise" Bravo's "Ghostbusters." Gabriel has the ability to be both a charming rascal and a potential love interest, traits that will help him win Camille's forgiveness and serve him well as he crafts his funniest dad jokes. This program has a comedy gold mine just waiting to be unlocked, and hopefully, it will be in Season 4 when Chef Gabriel will finally deliver his masterpiece.
