Freezing temperatures and gloomy weather seem to have convinced Netflix subscribers to skip Ticket to Paradise, which recently joined the catalog. Romco, starring Julia Roberts and George Clooney, is currently second in the top 10, behind Le Cercle des neiges. It must be said that the film takes us to Bali, where a separated couple reunites to prevent their daughter from making the same mistake she made in the past: giving in to love at first sight.
If Ticket to Paradise marks a reunion between two big names in cinema, we also celebrate the casting of Lucas Bravo. The French actor is best known for his role in the Netflix series Emily in Paris, where he plays a French chef who falls under the spell of the heroine (Lily Collins). Since then, the young man has been producing plays in English.
In this rom-com, he takes on the suit of an air captain in a relationship with Julia Roberts and in direct competition with George Clooney. A big move that allowed him to try a different style – pure comedy – as his character is like a big teenager who is madly in love but who doesn’t really have the shoulders for a serious relationship.
It’s also a chance for the Nice actor to respond to two actors who rocked his youth:
“George and Julia immediately calmed down. Giorgi whispered a joke in my ear that made me laugh. It was something completely down to earth. Julia and George feel the pressure of playing with them. They are doing everything to solve it. ” before revealing that he’s more of a prankster than Clooney: “I got the confidence and on the last day we were shooting together, I ordered a Batman costume as his fans Batman and Robin and I went and knocked on his door. He laughed and the scene ended up in the credits of the movie. “ (Le Figaro).
Who are the young actors against George Clooney and Julia Roberts?
Another French actor is hidden in the film
But Lucas Bravo isn’t the only French actor in this old-fashioned romcom. Gedde, Lily’s (Caitlin Dever) fiance, is actually played by Maxim Boutier, a young French-born Indonesian actor born in Poitiers. Although he has already appeared in about twenty Indonesian productions, Ticket To Paradise is his first feature film in English. Also a director and musician, the youngster has yet to make another film since then.
