Title: Alexandra Maria Lara's Close Call with a Missed Fateful Encounter
Hey there! Let's chat about Alexandra Maria Lara, a 46-year-old actress who's been married to Sam Riley for near about 16 years. But their love story almost never began, as she shared with the "Stern" magazine. In 2006, they crossed paths while movie-making in England.
You guessed it - the production was a hot mess, and Alexandra was ready to mosey on back to London when she arrived in Nottingham. With her suitcase in tow, she stood at the arranged meeting point, her patience wearing thin, only to find herself all alone. A quick call to her agent had her threatening to jump on the next train if she didn't spot someone soon.
Just as she was about to pack her bags and head home, she caught a glimpse of a tall, elegant figure out of the corner of her eye behind the next door. Sam Riley, before they even exchanged a word, had already won her over.
Fast forward to 2009, the couple tied the knot and welcomed a son into their family. They now reside in Berlin, a city that's become their shared home. Sam's been nominated twice as best leading actor at the German Film Awards, for "Islands" and "Cranko."
This Friday, the awards ceremony takes place in Berlin. Alexandra recently passed the torch as co-head of the German Film Academy, with director Florian Gallenberger and actress Vicky Krieps taking over the new leadership.
Oh, in case you're curious, Alexandra played Annik Honore in the 2007 film "Control" alongside Sam, who portrayed Ian Curtis. Sources don't provide specifics about their initial encounter, so it's unclear why she nearly walked away that day in Nottingham. But perhaps it's a story best left to their memories and their romantic reminisces. Keep those swooning keys spinning! 🔓🔓🔓
I'm not going to be able to do this again, just as Alexandra Maria Lara did when she almost walked away from meeting her future husband, Sam Riley, in Nottingham during filming in 2006. Lara, who shared their close call with the "Stern" magazine, admitted she was ready to leave England, but a tall, elegant figure behind the next door caught her eye, and it was Sam who had already won her over. In 2009, they tied the knot and welcoming a son into their family.
