Leila Hatami - the face


I'm certainly not the only man who thought Leila Hatami (the wife who wanted a divorce) was very pretty in this film. In the film you can only see her face, every other part of the body is covered. As I was watching the film, I was already thinking how I would google her and watch all those sexy photos that the internet is sure to be full of. But no such luck. There are no sexy photos of Leila Hatami. In fact, you cannot find a single photo that would show her without a head scarf. And I'm not even talking about a revealing dress. So, she's not a typical western-style film star, as I had imagined, who just acted like an Iranian woman for this film. She is really a relatively conservative behaving (by western standards) Iranian woman. I must say, that made me respect her more. Although it is a pitty we cannot even get a glimpse of her body.

Well, no Iranian woman is allowed to appear in public without Hijab. You may find typical Iranian women's photos on FB or other websites where they post pictures without Hijab but Leila Hatami is a celebrity and she has to be extra careful. if she has "sexy pictures" she'll face difficulties with government.
Golshifteh Farahani another famous Iranian actress appeared without Hijab in a "Body of Lies" and she was never allowed to come back to Iran.
