A Love Story Unfolds: nearly Leaving Home Before Meeting Husband Alexandra Maria Lara
Husband's Date with Lara Narrowly Escaped Abandonment - Approaching the inaugural encounter with my spouse, I momentarily considered an early exit.
Hey there! Let's chat about a heartwarming tale that has stood the test of time. Alexandra Maria Lara (46), now almost inseparable from British actor Sam Riley, admits she was a tad irritated before their first in-person encounter. They met in 2006 on the set of "Control" in England.
Feeling rather deserted, Alexandra shared an amusing incident with the magazine "Stern." Despite a not-so-well-organized production, she almost vanished when she arrived in Nottingham. She stood at the arranged meeting spot, her suitcase at her side, but alas, no sign of anyone. A prompt call to her agent led to the declaration, "If I don't find someone soon, I'm hopping on the next train to London."
However, the situation took a serendipitous turn when she caught a glimpse of Riley, a tall, charming fellow, concealed behind the next door. Before even uttering a greeting, the actress confessed, she was smitten.
Fast forward to 2009, the two are a married pair and share a sweet son. They now call Berlin home. Known for his exceptional acting, Riley has been nominated twice for Best Leading Actor at the German Film Awards for "Islands" and "Cranko."
The awards ceremony, which takes place this Friday in Berlin, approaches with anticipation. Alexandra recently stepped down as co-head of the German Film Academy in unison with director Florian Gallenberger. The new leadership team consists of Gallenberger and actress Vicky Krieps.
