Glenn Close decided to learn to speak Farsi for his new series, “Tehran”

Glenn Close was very involved in the preparation of his new role for the series Tehran. The actress plays CIA agent Marjan Montazemi in the second season of the Apple TV + program and to perfectly embody her character, she wanted to know how to speak Farsi, the Persian language.

” It was very difficult. The sentence structure is different. It’s more like German, with the verb at the end. You use your mouth differently. There are certain sounds that we don’t have in English. But I had a phenomenal coach in Anna Bayat, who worked with me on Zoom three times a week,” she told Entertainment Tonight.

Complicated

A hassle for the 75-year-old star, who despite everything hung on until she mastered this complex language. “You start with one word at a time, then sentences, then repetition, repetition, and then you have to learn the correct intonation, and then you have to say it faster than you think you can,” said she added.

The second season of Tehranthe first role in a television series for the living legend of cinema since Damages, is available on Apple TV+ starting this Friday.
