Leila Farzad not only has a successful career but also a successful marriage. Yes, her supportive husband of over 9 years, with whom she also has a daughter, is everything to her.
Let’s discuss more as this article continues.
Leila Farzad’s Husband: Is This Actress Married?
Yes, Leila Farzad is married to her husband James. The couple tied the knot in October 2013 and it was indeed a memorable day for the lovebirds — who have been friends for over 6 years.
At the wedding, Leila wore a white dress while her husband wore a grey suit. Surrounded by family and friends, the couple then exchanged vows and walked across the lawn to a beautiful honeymoon trip.
Today, the two have been married for over nine years, and the fire in their eyes is still the same. In fact, Leila has grown even more in love with James. She even calls him the “legend” who made banana oatmeal pancakes for their daughter.
On Sundays, the couple often go out to a Persian restaurant, where they gather with friends and family and eat a lot of buttered rice with bread, stews and chicken. “Then we waddle out with takeout because we ordered so much,” Leila added.
So far, the most memorable Sunday for the actress was the 2021 Baftas. She was nominated for I Hate Suzie and they did it via video link. “They sent in the hair and make-up people who also put glitter on my daughter’s cheeks. I was on the sofa, all dressed up in crazy jewellery. My mum was there. She wasn’t happy that I was an actress instead of a lawyer, but that night she said yes,” she recalls.
Leila Farzad on Better
Leila Farzad plays Inspector Lou Slack in Better. According to the BBC, her character and Col McHugh (Andrew Buchan) “explore the complex and powerful bonds of loyalty and family” and “the power of human conscience”.
Now, to be more specific, Lou first meets Col when she’s struggling as a young cop, and Col is new to the Leeds underworld. They then strike a deal (not explained to avoid spoilers) that shapes their lives—allowing Lou to advance in her career and Col to become rich and powerful.
Sadly, years later, Lou’s family is “pushed to the brink of tragedy” and she eventually has to make amends for what she did, including trying to bring down the Colonel.
So Lou makes the first move against Col, explaining to him that her colleagues had received an “anonymous tip” about an associate named Noel, someone she couldn’t “kill” outright. “The best I can do is stay ahead of the curve and make sure Noel doesn’t get shot, and then I remind him that I’ll be there for him,” she says.
Unimpressed, Col replied, “You came to me and wanted to take it, and I refused, and that same night I found out you stole it from a safe house that only you and five other people knew about?”
BBC One Better is set to debut on the small screen in 2023. Leila is excited about the launch, saying: “[Better is] a wonderfully fresh take on a morality tale. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to play Lou Slack, a vehicle through which we explore the multi-layered values of good and evil.”
Also joining the actress in the first season are Samuel Edward-Cook, Zak Ford-Williams, Ceallach Spellman, Carolin Stoltz, Anton Lesser and Olivia Nakintu.
