Actor Lucas Bravo revealed he almost missed out on playing the beloved chef Gabriel in Netflix's Emily in Paris due to studio preferences for a more established performer. After initially being passed over, a chance check of his phone while off the grid in Corsica led to a pivotal chemistry read with star Lily Collins. Showrunner Darren Star advocated for Bravo, securing the role that has defined his career.
