Biography and What Famous For:
Aylar Lie’s early life was tumultuous. Born in Tehran, Iran, she moved to Norway at age three. Due to a difficult family situation, she was placed in foster care and experienced a nomadic childhood, moving eighteen times before elementary school. At 16, she was reportedly kidnapped to Iran by her biological father and held against her will for nearly two years before escaping back to Norway. Later, while trying to reconnect with her biological mother in the U.S., she became involved in a difficult period that included drug use and brief participation in the adult film industry in 2002. She has since expressed deep regret over this period, stating that it occurred during a crisis in her life and that she wishes she could “erase that from her past.”

Upon returning to Norway and seeking treatment, Aylar attempted to restart her life. In 2004, she entered the Miss Norway pageant but was disqualified when her past adult film work was discovered, leading to significant media attention. She used this media exposure to build a career as a television personality in Norway.
