You might’ve probably seen the influx of people sharing their throwback photos taken in Paris, all thanks to Netflix’s new show, Emily in Paris. Released on October 2, Emily in Paris follows the life of Emily who moves to Paris to work at a marketing firm, Savoir. She bids goodbye to her life in Chicago to get on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in the City of Light. She doesn’t even know how to speak French, and the city isn’t what she really expected it to be.
While everyone is glad to see Lily Collins’ charms and snatched wardrobe back on the screen again, more are swooning over her co-star Lucas Bravo, who plays the hot and dreamy French neighbor, Gabriel.

Lucas Bravo is in his 30s. Though we haven’t found information about his exact birthday yet (sorry you can’t read his charts for now), the gorgeous actor was born in 1988, making him 32 years old.
He really is French

That sexy accent you heard from the show isn’t fake at all. Lucas is French and was born in Nice, which is in the southern part of France. He’s literally the French boyfriend of your dreams. Just imagine driving around with him in a convertible (just like Camille’s) in the French countryside. What. A. Dream.
He used to be a sous chef
Lucas Bravo’s role, Gabriel, is something that hits close to home. Aside from being Emily’s hot AF neighbor, Gabriel is a rising chef working at a restaurant near their apartment. In real life, Lucas also knows his way around the kitchen as he previously worked as a sous chef for a Japanese-French restaurant. He probably knows how to make the perfect French omelet that made Emily quit peanut butter.
He likes to travel

Having a dad who’s a football player and a mom who’s a singer, Lucas has gotten used to traveling and meeting different people. He enjoys traveling — he can be exploring scenic waterfalls in Iceland or out on a week-long trip to a dessert in Las Vegas for Burning Man. He could be your Mr. Worldwide (LOL).
He is a professional model

First things first, Lucas is 6’1″; with that chiseled face and height — no wonder why modeling agencies would want him. Aside from his acting career, Lucas is a model who’s currently signed to Viva Model Management and Tribe Management. In 2017, he was tapped by Chanel for the ad above. Honestly, if my driver was that attractive, I would wish for Waze or Google Maps to glitch out, even for just a few hours.
He’s on Instagram

Just in case you can’t get enough of your new French crushie, you can find Lucas on Instagram. However, he rarely posts, even though he’s been on IG since 2013. When he does, they’re a few snippets of his life, with captions that are usually just a few words or emojis. Everyone’s dying to see more of him — maybe he would post more often now?
He enjoys festivals

If you scroll enough on his Instagram, you would see photos of Lucas and his friends enjoying music festivals like Burning Man and Coachella. In an interview, Lucas shared that the week-long trip to a dessert in Las Vegas for Burning Man was life-changing. He didn’t expect that you could spend a week without anyone asking about what you do in life.
He is single

Gabriel may have been caught in flirtationship in Emily in Paris but the biggest question is: is he single in real life? Yes, he is. Shoot your shot, friends. Or we can just keep re-watching Emily in Paris and fall over Gabriel for the nth time until it comes back for another season.
In case you haven’t seen Emily in Paris yet, you can binge-watch it this weekend here.
