Slipping his feet into chunky color-matched boots, Lucien sported designer stubble and wore his raven locks in a wet style.

Speaking about the event, Lucien commented: “I’m a big fan of motorsport and everything related to cars. Seeing the new GEN3 race car on track for the first time was crazy. It looks like a fighter jet on wheels and sounds like it came from a sci-fi movie.”
He added: “Formula E is the world leader in electric car innovation. I’m in line for an electric vehicle and it really gave me a taste”.
As well as enjoying incredible action on the track, Lucien will also enjoy electric performances from world-class artists, including John Legend, French Montana, who will perform post-race concerts over the weekend.

The Burnley-born actor caught the eye of film franchise bosses for his role in Emily In Paris.
Lucien, whose first role was as a child model for Marks & Spencer at the age of ten, is also considered the ideal age to play Bond.
According to the Mail On Sunday, Broccoli has made it clear that she wants the next actor to play the character for 15 years, which rules out former favorite Idris Elba, who turned 50 in September.
Potential role: It was recently revealed that Lucien has caught the eye of James Bond boss Barbara Broccoli and is set to become the new 007 to replace Daniel Craig.
It is also believed that Broccoli and his team want to have an ethnic minority star to play 007 so that the franchise reflects modern society.
However, some executives fear that Laviscount’s appearance on Celebrity Big Brother, when he finished in fifth place, could tarnish his chances of getting the job as previous Bonds were more intellectual.
A source said: “Lucien ticks all the boxes. He’s a super talented actor, extremely handsome and over the last 18 months he’s gained a lot of new fans since joining Emily In Paris.

“Bond bosses are already talking about how you can see him in the 007 tuxedo, how stylish and fit for the role it will be.
“But, there is one sticking point, and that is Big Brother. Lucien appeared on the show at a time when his acting career wasn’t as high profile as it is today, but he was hugely popular then and now has a fanbase that spans generations. It is a dream for Barbara who is very much in love with him.
