"Body of Lies" Has Got Golshifteh Farahani In Trouble

Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani, who has just appeared as Leonardo DiCaprio's love interest in "Body of Lies", feels that appearing in the film has caused her a lot of trouble back home in Iran. The 25 year old actress said: "[Iranian officials] took my passport. The intelligence service interrogated me several times. In the end, the judge said, 'We have to see the movie and then decide what we're going to do with you'". Farahani features alongside DiCaprio and Russell Crowe in the film as "Aisha", a nurse who looks after DiCaprio's character.

Farahani is well known in Iran and is the first Iranian-based actress to appear in a Hollywood movie since the Islamic Revolution took place in her homeland in 1979. She fears the political content of "Body of Lies" will anger some of the stricter bodies of government in Iran. Recently, the beautiful actress has been living in France with her husband.

In our gallery, there are pictures of Golshifteh Farahani at the "Body of Lies" premiere, along with pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio, Russell Crowe, Aubrey O'Day, Jennifer Missoni, Mehdi Nebbou and Irmelin DiCaprio.

the older Russell gets the closer he looks like a drunk lumberjack.
all he needs now is a red and white plaid shirt and an axe and he has nailed that persona.

Hi everyone. hi Golshifteh. I wish Bahraam Raadaan had appeared in this movie, too. Leonardo Santuri. :D Congratulation everyone. Congratulation Golshifteh. Someday I'll be rapping with Emin3m. Till then, keep your fingers crossed ...;):D


Re: Golshifteh,
The beautiful Star of the east has been come to the west… I hope the suits in Hollywood realize it!!! that if they give her a major role – the movie instantly will have a very large box-office draw - just by the millions of Persians living outside of Iran who worship her talents and can't wait to see her next film! So I think it’ll be a 'very smart move' that she get’s a part that she can make her talents shin!


best wishes for you golshifte i hope you back to iran and can play again in iran and hollywood i want you to now that we dont leave you alone and we love you .


best wishes for you golshifte i hope you back to iran and can play again in iran and hollywood i want you to now that we dont leave you alone and we love you.


I would like to express my support as an Iranian for Golshifteh Farahani. I think she is a very talented actress and I praise her for her courage and appearing in this great movie. I enjoyed it very much. I know it is hard for people in the West to understand how appearing in a movie is brave. Let's just say, if she gets convicted to 5 years prison no one would be surprised here in Tehran. Oh, by the way Iranians are Persian they are not Arab!!! peace!!
