Lucas Bravo assures that ‘Journey to Paradise’ allowed him to contribute to a “feminism of reconciliation”

George Clooney and Julia Roberts are the main couple of “Journey to Paradise”, a romantic comedy that, of course, also comes with a third party in contention. Lucas Bravo plays Paul, the very young boyfriend who launches the character embodied by Roberts, a woman who in her maturity has decided to enjoy a relationship without thinking about possible generational gaps. Paul, with his attitude and his physique, recalls the love interests that usually accompany the male protagonist of this type of film.something to celebrate. “Absolutely, welcome to 2022!”Bravo affirms, showing himself very proud of his contribution in this sense.

“I think it’s great. [En los trabajos en los que participo], I always look for that kind of representation. For example, Gabriel, my character in ‘Emily in Paris’ was not like that in the script. I decided to interpret him in a more vulnerable and connected way to his femininity. I think that’s where his strength lies. [En el caso de Paul] I liked putting myself in his place and I learned by playing him. Also, at the same time, it allowed me to contribute to the reconciliation of feminism”. Bravo therefore bets on a search for equality away from that bellicose approach that can be counterproductive because “many times when you go to ‘war’ for something, people tend to shut down”. “There are so many ways to get a message out and I enjoyed approaching this character from a friendly and fun point of view.”.

This performer explains how he enjoyed embodying his character for what it means to the genre, to add later that, of course, even trying to win Roberts was a blast. “She’s just amazing. She’s a great person and she was like a guide on set. I felt at peace after working with her.”says the actor who in ‘Journey to Paradise’ also shares the lead role with Kaitlyn Dever, Billie Lourd or Maxime Bouttier.

No expiration date

‘Journey to Paradise’ doesn’t just fight to break gender stereotypes, betting on a protagonist who has sought the male equivalent of the pot woman; but struggle to affirm that there is always time to do the things you want to do. Bravo points out that lack of an expiration date in the way the main couple focuses their lives, stating that it is “It is important to give space to characters of all ages who live an adventure, building a new life and give everything to make your dreams come true or to live a love story”.

“I love it. We live in a society where we sometimes feel that it is too late to learn the piano or the guitar, if you are over forty, it is not!”This actor stands out, who we will see soon in ‘The Journey of Mrs. Harris to Paris’ and in the aforementioned ‘Emily to Paris’, which still does not have a release date for its third season.
