LOS ANGELES, Dec 1: Veteran actress Helen Mirren feels she will be a sex symbol until the day she dies.
The 71-year-old actress feels people will always talk about her appearance, reported Us magazine.
“I think it’s probably going to follow me to my grave,” Mirren said.
The actress, who is in the seventh decade of her life, feels better now about life than she did when she was 25 years old.
“The idea of dying young when you’re 25 is kind of cool – a bit romantic, like James Dean. But then you realise that life is too much fun to do that. It’s fascinating and wonderful and emotional… So you just have to find a way of negotiating getting old psychologically and physically.
“The best thing about being over 70 is being over 70. Certainly when I was 45, the idea of being 70 was like ‘Arghhh!’ ” (PTI)
