Daughter Amber on Yasmin Le Bon: ‘Mum is a dragon – I don’t want her disciplining my child’

Daughter Amber on Yasmin Le Bon: ‘Mum is a dragon – I don’t want her disciplining my child’

The bond between model Yasmin Le Bon and her daughter Amber was undeniable when they came into the Second Act podcast studio for our special Mother’s Day episode. They chatted about sharing clothes, travelling the world – even living together in an idyllic sounding Le Bon commune, joining middle daughter Saffron and her brood ensconced in her own home at the bottom of the family garden. “Mum is my favourite person I choose to hang out with,” said Amber, 36. Yasmin and Amber Le Bon with Second Act’s Ateh Jewel However when it came to chatting about grandparenting duties with Amber’s one-year-old son Sasha and her sister’s three children, the two had very opposite opinions. “It’s quite different with your grandchildren, than with your own children,” says Yasmin, 61, who has been married to Duran Duran front man Simon Le Bon for 40 years. “I’m very, very close to them. I see them all the time. So, you know, it’s not like a special occasion. She’s still living with me and my middle daughter is at …

Industry’s Yasmin has always had the capacity to be awful, but season 4’s finale goes to new heights

Industry’s Yasmin has always had the capacity to be awful, but season 4’s finale goes to new heights

*Warning: This article contains full spoilers for Industry season 4 episode 8, Both, And.* While this series of Industry thankfully had a bit more of a focus on my beloved favourite Harper (Myha’la), the season 4 finale’s last moments were well and truly co-opted by Yasmin-related shock and horror. The two best friends/enemies/surrogate sisters could not be more at odds as to what paths they’re now forging in their lives and it’s hard to believe that just last week, we were all fangirling over their much-needed clubbing montage. No sooner had we all shouted “They are so back!”, than the rug was pulled from under our feet this week, as Yasmin (Marisa Abela) made career decisions that are the stuff of literal nightmares. And while many fans may be complaining about the fact that Yasmin has turned to a life of being a “high-class madame”, as Abela herself puts it, I think it’s a character arc that actually makes a lot of sense. Stick with me here. There’s no denying that the publishing heiress has …

Industry’s Marisa Abela says Yasmin ‘loosely inspired’ by Ghislaine Maxwell

In the BBC financial drama, Abela stars as Yasmin Kara-Hanani – the heiress to a publishing empire founded by her wealthy father Charles Hanani (played by Adam Levy). In series three, Charles’ body is found in the Mediterranean Sea after he seemingly fell from his yacht, named after his daughter. Now, Bafta winner Abela has confirmed that Yasmin’s story was partly based on that of Maxwell, whose father Robert Maxwell died in 1991 after falling from his luxury yacht, the Lady Ghislaine. In Industry’s latest series, Yasmin – whose husband Henry (Kit Harington) is CEO of fintech startup Tender – discovers that co-founder Whitney (Max Minghella) hired executive assistant Hayley (Kiernan Shipka) from an escort agency, using her to sleep with …
