The 55-year-old has also fronted other documentary programmes, including The End of the World as We Know It and Death of a Nation.

The synopsis reads: “The journalist and filmmaker’s long-standing interest in the brutal murders, which shocked the London he grew up in, led him to return to the killings of Eve Stratford, a Playboy Bunny who aspired to be a famous model, Lynda Farrow, a croupier with years of experience working in night time London, and Lynne Weedon, a schoolgirl whose whole life lay ahead of her.”
Who is Marcel’s famous brother?
Marcel is the older brother of documentary filmmaker Louis Theroux, who quickly became a household name across the nation thanks to his illustrious broadcasting career.
The journalist is known for his documentaries with the BBC, in which he delves into captivating and sometimes controversial topics. They both share a very famous cousin – actor Justin Theroux, who was once married to Jennifer Aniston.
Is Marcel Theroux married and does he have any children?
When it comes to Marcel family life he prefers to keep it private and out of the spotlight. The star is married with kids, according to The Sun.
Their names and ages have been kept out of public knowledge, but we know the family lives in London.
Speaking to The Guardian about his home life, Marcel said: “I like that it feels normal. Normality is good, isn’t it, in life. Keep the life normal, and keep the work weird. You don’t want to do it the other way round.”
