Lucas Bravo says 'Emily in Paris' portrays just 'one vision' 

On October 9, 2020, in his interview with the magazine, Lucas Bravo shared his thoughts on being slammed by the French audience for portraying clichés about Paris, France. In his reaction, the TV actor agreed with the criticism in a way and set the record straight that the web-series portrays just one vision, whereas he thinks that Paris is many things apart from that. Elaborating more about the same, Bravo said that Paris is one of the most diverse cities across the globe which comprises different nationalities and neighbourhoods. 

Thus, he feels that an entire lifetime would also not be enough to gain knowledge about the infamous city entirely. He also refers to Paris as 'an entire world in a city'. Furthermore, he added saying to tell a story about the French city, one needs to choose an angle, a vision. The 32-year-old made the French audience understand that the makers have portrayed just one vision in Emily in Paris, while the city is many more things except for that.
