Arian Moayed Interview: You Hurt My Feelings, Succession, and Art for Social Change

Honesty is the best policy. Or is it? In Nicole Holofcener’s upcoming comedy You Hurt My Feelings, a loving couple — author Beth (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and therapist Don (Tobias Menzies) — find their affectionate marriage cruising some rocky terrain when Beth discovers Don has been lying to her, ostensibly to spare her feelings. Not helping matters is Beth’s sister Sarah (Michaela Watkins), who routinely lies to her husband Mark (Arian Moayed) about how good an actor he is, and doesn’t see the issue with a little marital dishonesty, if the intention is good. Collider’s Arezou Amin sat down for a 1-on-1 interview with Moayed to talk about working with Holofcener and Louis-Dreyfus, and staying motivated in a world that can be as thankless as the arts. They also talked about creating a backstory for Succession’s Stewy Hosseini, A Doll’s House, and the importance of art as a social message. #ArianMoayed #YouHurtMyFeelings #Succession For interviews, movie reviews, and m
