«It is necessary to go deeper, to connect with new energies that help us to have a broader perspective, and this is precisely what women have managed to give us. Now we are more attentive to recognizing the vulnerability of patriarchy and the danger represented by toxic masculinity: thanks to women and cinema we are better people», explains Lucas Bravo who, if he hadn’t been an actor, would probably have followed his other great passion, that for Nature. «Maybe I would have studied Chemistry, who knows. Since I was a child I have always felt the urgency to tell a story: a mission which, thanks to my work, has nevertheless become a reality». In fact, at the age of 14, Lucas, son of soccer champion David Bravo and singer Eva Bravo, understood that the best way to discover himself was to act.

«I felt the need to want to express myself even if, at the time, it wasn’t easy. I didn’t know who I was, where I was or what I would become, but when I had a script and a role to play, I understood that I could use those tools to indulge a passion, and so it was.” Lucas Bravo, on the other hand, has no doubts about what cinema represents for him: «It’s my life. Telling a story is my life. Being able to give someone a story that can help them forget their problems and worries for a couple of hours is something magical,” Lucas explains. When I ask him if the beauty in his work helps, the answer is full of humility but also with a pinch of cunning: «You should ask a handsome one. Beauty is relative, as well as subjective. Finally, the biggest dream that he hopes to realize sooner or later: «Since I was a child I’ve always been fascinated by Japan: I’d like to move there for a couple of months, study their culture and language. I would love to.’ And we are sure that sooner or later it will happen.
