Meet Lucien Laviscount, the Emily in Paris star sparking dating rumours with Shakira after starring as a centaur in her music video ‘Puntería’ – and David Beckham helped launch his acting career
- Laviscount’s first job was modelling for a children’s clothing line by David Beckham; he was also in Coronation Street, Waterloo Road and Celebrity Big Brother before starring in Emily in Paris
- The British actor appeared as Shakira’s love interest in ‘Puntería’, her latest music video with Cardi B, and they were seen together at Carbone in New York City too
Recently, the 31-year-old British actor appeared as Shakira’s love interest in “Puntería”, her latest music video, which also features Cardi B. In it, he stars as a centaur in “a planet where women rule as Amazons”, sharing steamy scenes with the 47-year-old singer in a vivid pink fantasy setting.
The on-screen pairing has fuelled fan curiosity and speculation – particularly after they were seen having dinner together at Carbone in New York, on March 26, according to E! Online.
What’s more, some insiders have allegedly revealed the duo is actually dating, but Shakira’s inner circle is apparently afraid he may be only doing it for fame. “Shakira is desperate to fall in love – but her friends are concerned because Lucien has slowly crept his way up the celebrity ladder while dating women who were all less famous than Shakira,” a source told British media.
If you’re not familiar with the actor – best known for his role in Netflix’s Emily in Paris as Emily (Lily Collins)’s new love interest, Alfie – here’s what we know about Shakira’s reported new boo, once dubbed “the internet’s boyfriend” by Glamour magazine.
