Dame Helen Mirren knows what people are saying about her, and she's doesn't really care. For years, the Oscar winning actress has been thought of as a bit of a sex symbol, even at the age of 74.
Helen's response to that line of thinking is akin to a shrug. "I don't agree that I'm a sex symbol, the great thing about getting older is that you get over all that.
You tend to think, 'Sex symbol? What the f— does that mean?' There are so many other interesting things to be driven by," she told Woman magazine.
She adds, "It's great and I'm not knocking it – it's a fabulous part of life – but it's only a part, it's not everything. So I'll take it, I'm not going to argue with it.
