Who is Paul Forman, the Newest 'Emily in Paris' Love Interest?

Another successful season of Emily in Paris has come and gone. After ending on a cliffhanger, the show has once again left us fans impatiently waiting to see what Paris will have in store for Emily Cooper (Lily Collins) next. While Season 3 followed Emily's bold fashion choices, complicated love life, and messy work dynamics, the season also took a deeper look at Mindy Chen's (Ashley Park) romantic connections. Mindy's new beau has the internet in a frenzy, with the character's charming looks and sharp mind for business. 

Yes, we're talking about Nicolas de Leon played by actor and model Paul Forman. Viewers met Forman's character rather early in the show as the firm he oversees bought the Pierre Cadault brand, officially becoming a work competitor to Agence Grateau. What really had us raising our eyebrows was the clear and instant connection he had with Mindy as the two reminisced over their boarding school days and hit it off to the point they became an official couple in the lasting episodes. While they already hit some rocky waters, from what we know the couple is still together, meaning we (hopefully) will get to see a lot more of Forman in Emily in Paris Season 4. 

While for many of us, this is the first time we have come across Forman, the heartthrob is not new to the camera as he has done past acting gigs. He has previously acted in the TV shows Frank of Ireland, The Spanish Princess, and Riches, and had his acting debut in the 2018 short film Dreams. 

Beyond acting, Forman is also a successful model based in London. A scroll through his Instagram and you will come across numerous professional shots taken including a cover with L'OFFICIEL Hommes Poland and an interview with Vogue Türkiye (with photography taken by Hippolyte Petit). Additionally, has he also worked professionally with the brands Clarins and Cartier. 

Now that the actor is on everyone's radar, we're excited to see what project Forman will take on next.
