British actor Lucien Laviscount, who became a global heartthrob after playing Alfie in the Netflix series Emily in Paris (2020), now has an India connect. As the protagonist in Disney’s upcoming film,  Wicked Wickets, Laviscount will embark on an adventure to India. The film is about a washed-out baseball superstar whose career takes a downward spiral when he is ousted by the league. Starring Dev Patel and Sir Ben Kingsley, the story hits close to home, as Laviscount’s character, Randy Montero, is introduced to cricket after a chance encounter with an Indian student. In an exclusive conversation with Bazaar India, Laviscount talks about Indian cinema, his favourite fashion brands, and what fans can expect from his character in the fourth season of Emily in Paris, the first part of which will première on August 15.
