Helen Mirren would like to have someone "piss off!" called.
The 72-year-old actress finds that she was far too tolerant as a young woman and regrets her lack of self-confidence at the beginning of her career. When asked what advice she would give her younger self, Mirren told Allure magazine: "I would say, say 'fuck off' more often and stop being so damn polite ... Back then you had to. It's difficult to explain how difficult it is to get over your own culture. You become a voice in the wild. Nobody wants to listen. "
And even though she herself is one of the most famous and critically acclaimed movie stars, even a Helen Mirren sometimes gets nervous when she meets famous colleagues. "Oh, I'm still thrilled when I meet a movie star," she explains, "I'm paralyzed. Then I say to myself, 'Helen, just be natural, just be yourself. Don't talk too much and don't stare'. I have to give myself all these instructions. "
The fact that many things are fake in the industry - including the good looks - does not bother the British. She says, "Everyone should do what they want. When they look in the mirror and say 'I look good' and go out in a good mood - I don't want anyone to feel bad."
