Freedom star Lucas Bravo's life off-screen including famous dad

Netflix's Emily in Paris star Lucas Bravo is back on our screens in the Amazon Prime Video movie Freedom, and fans may be surprised to learn about his famous father

A new film called Freedom has been released on Prime Video, based on the true story of notorious French gangster Bruno Sulak.

Freedom is a romance film set in the late 1970s and early 1980s, with Sulak played by 36-year-old actor Lucas Bravo.

Born in Nice, Lucas is the son of former French footballer Daniel Bravo, who won the 1984 UEFA European Championship with France during his 217-match stint with Paris Saint-Germain.

Lucas's mother is singer Eva Bravo, and he has spoken about how having famous parents didn't affect his childhood.

In an interview with French magazine Causerie, he revealed: "Contrary to what most people think, my dad has always let me fend for myself. Even financially, he always told me to work."

"I've had jobs in every sector I was a waiter, I was the guy who gets ignored all day in front of the Champs-Elysees Gap store during the Christmas period."

"This really teaches you the value of things."

Lucas made his screen debut in Sous le soleil de Saint Tropez in 2013 and has starred alongside Lily Collins in the Netflix series Emily in Paris since 2020, playing Emily's love interest, Gabriel. The star recently hinted at a potential departure from Emily in Paris, sparking speculation among fans.

Speaking to Le Figaro, he said: "Emily in Paris brought me a snowball effect that allowed me to meet certain people, to try to set up something lasting."

"It's good entertainment, an escape. But I feel the need to raise awareness a little about what I'm talking about."

When questioned about his return for another season, he responded: "It will depend on the script because I think I've covered everything a bit."

"I don't really have any freedom and, as I'm starting to be given some elsewhere, I'm getting a taste for it. Life is short."

"The filming of this series lasts five months. Do I want to sacrifice them to tell something that doesn't stimulate me?".

Freedom is available to watch on Amazon Prime Video.
