“Emily In Paris” actor Lucas Bravo is the son of former French International Football player Daniel Bravo and French Singer Eva Bravo.

He was born on March 26, 1988, in Nice, Alpes-Maritimes.

His father, Daniel Bravo, was a successful football player who played as a midfielder.

Daniel Bravo was born in Toulouse to Spanish immigrants escaping the Spanish Civil War and settling in southern France.

At just 17 years of age, Daniel made his professional debut for OGC Nice in a game against Metz in the French Championship D1.

Despite OGC Nice being relegated that season, Daniel was called up to the French National Team to face Italy.

That night, Daniel scored the second goal for France when the French beat the Italians for the first time in over sixty years.

With this, he got more exposure to his footballing career and started getting noticed by other prominent football teams.

His first career transfer came when he signed for AS Monaco in 1983, marking a significant moment in his career.

This transfer would be the beginning of a series of transfers that would eventually see him play for one of France’s most prestigious clubs, Paris Saint-Germain.

He made 217 appearances for PSG, scoring 23 goals.

However, his international career didn’t go perfectly according to plan.

He made sparse appearances for the national team, but he participated in the victorious Euro Cup 1984 campaign.

Towards the tail end of his career, Daniel returned to OGC Nice, the club where he made his debut, to finish his story beautifully.

Returning to his boyhood club after he had a hugely successful career made the ending of his football career come full circle.

On the other hand, Lucas’ mother, Eva Bravo, is also a relatively successful French singer.

Born in 1968, the Corsica native released her first album, Réalité, in 2003.

Furthermore, in the same year, she released a single and one EP as well.

Lucas Bravo’s parents met in Bastia and spent the night speaking with him on the docks of Île-Rousse.

At the moment, Eva did not know who Daniel was and got confused when people passing by would recognize him frequently.

She said that after hours and hours of chatting and having breakfast, Daniel asked her,

She replied, “To win a French Championship,” but he said, “No, it would be to make you happy.”

This reveals Daniel Bravo’s romantic nature and his deep devotion to always making his wife happy.

And indeed, they are together to this very day.
