Biography
Esmaili was born in Tehran, Iran, to an architect father and a teacher mother.[1][2] Toward the end of the Iran–Iraq War, when Esmaili was two years old, his family moved to Sweden.[3] Esmaili stated, "My parents were afraid that my older brother might eventually be drafted into the military. They saw no future for the children in Iran."[2] The family originally planned to move to the United States, but instead settled in Skellefteå, where Esmaili would grow up.[4][5]
Esmaili attended junior high school in Malå.[3] While attending folk high school at Fridhems Folkhögskola in Svalöv, he held an internship at Film i Västerbotten with Milad Alami, a family friend.[6] After high school, he attended the Swedish National Academy of Mime and Acting.[2]
In addition to Swedish, he speaks Persian, English, and Danish.[7] He is in a long-term relationship with actress Evin Ahmad.[8]
