In a rare public appearance, celebrated documentarian Louis Theroux and his wife, TV director Nancy Strang, attended the 10th anniversary celebration for the charity Choose Love at London's iconic Royal Albert Hall on Thursday.
A Stylish Couple Steps Out
The event saw the typically private couple showcasing their distinct fashion sense. Louis Theroux, aged 55, looked suave in a dark suit, which he paired with a crisp white shirt featuring blue plaid trim. Adding a modern and comfortable twist, he finished his ensemble with a pair of white trainers.
Meanwhile, Nancy Strang demonstrated her unique style in a chic black top and a striking white ruffled skirt. She accessorised with a bright red handbag and a smoky eye makeup look, carrying a furry jacket over her arm.
Behind the Scenes: A Glimpse into Their Marriage
While they keep their personal life largely out of the spotlight, Louis offered a rare and charming insight into their relationship last year. Appearing on The Receipts Podcast, he revealed the moment he first fell in love with Nancy.
He recounted that after a few dates, a key moment occurred when he saw her dancing to 'What's Luv' by Fat Joe featuring Ashanti. Louis, who considered himself an okay dancer, was utterly impressed by Nancy's moves. He described her as 'sinuous and silky on the floor,' admitting the thought, 'wow, she's out of my league.'
The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, share three sons: Albert, 20, Frederick, 17, and Walter, 10. Louis has also spoken candidly about the challenges they faced starting their family. In his 2019 autobiography, he revealed that Nancy suffered two miscarriages before the 'traumatic' birth of their third child, describing it as a period of profound grief that he found difficult to fully comprehend.
Reflecting on a Bizarre Professional Chapter
During the same podcast interview, Louis Theroux also reflected on one of the most unsettling chapters of his career: his much-publicised documentary with Jimmy Savile.
He described the Savile affair as the 'weirdest thing' he experienced as a journalist, highlighting the shocking duality of Savile's life. Savile was a prolific predator who harmed people for decades, yet he was simultaneously 'the toast of the establishment,' embraced by hospitals, TV channels, the royal family, and politicians.
Louis noted that the true weirdness often goes deep, far beyond what is initially apparent on the surface.
