Anna Friel on Esquire UK March
The Sun UK reports that Anna Friel is on the cover of Esquire’s March issue, now out on the stands in the UK…

Anna Friel is a bit of all-tight
Hose a naughty girl . . .
Former soap star Anna Friel manages to make a pair of tights look sexy in a new photoshoot. The ex-Brookside babe, 31 — mum to two-year-old Gracie — stars as a murdered woman brought back to life in upcoming ITV1 drama Pushing Daisies.
Anna has wowed US critics with her performance as American Charlotte.
Must be her stocking trade.
And Metro UK also has a piece on her….which doesn’t sound like good press. What do you think? Does the British press not like her?
It seems Anna Friel’s reason for upping sticks to the US was that she felt fed up with her image in the UK. The 31-year-old actress, who came to prominence in Britain as Beth Jordache in Brookside over a decade ago, apparently grew tired of the soap label and was unable to shake other relics of her past.
Now based in Los Angeles with her partner, novelist and Harry Potter actor David Thewlis, the beauty said unsuccessful romances with Darren Day and Robbie Williams continued to haunt her at home, according to the Daily Express.
“It was getting to be a joke here,” the paper quotes her as telling Esquire Magazine. “Even if I was 80, my epitaph would be ‘Brookside. Used to be in a TV soap.’ How long is it now? Thirteen years.”
Anna, who appears in the new US comedy drama Pushing Daisies, went on: “It’s just really boring. People talking about the same things: Brookside, Darren Day, Robbie Williams, party girl. I just think it’s time to let it go.”
