Helen Mirren praises ‘shameless’ Kim Kardashian for redefining beauty
In an interview with The Telegraph, Mirren revealed that despite her lack of interest with the Kardashians’ reality show, she admired their role in making big derrieres acceptable.
“I’m not into the Kardashians, it’s a phenomenon I just don’t find interesting. But — and this is the big word: B-U-T-T — it’s wonderful that you’re allowed to have a butt nowadays!
“Thanks to Madame Kardashian, and before her, J-Lo. We’re also allowed to have thighs now, which is great too. It’s very positive.”
“When I was growing up, it was thought to be unbelievably sluttish to even have a bra strap showing,” she explained. “Everything was about women conforming. I love shameless women. Shameless and proud!”
Mirren also opened up about no longer considering herself a sex symbol.
“One of the best things about getting older is finally being relieved of the whole sex-symbol tag,” she said. “There is good and bad in ageing. I loved being young, but I’ve enjoyed every stage in different ways. I’m happy being in my 70s, and there will be another person in me at 80, hopefully, and I can’t wait to meet her.”
Mirren also revealed how she’s maintained her youthful looks although she says that she absolutely has “no beauty regime”.
“I sunbathe — I know I shouldn’t but I love sitting in the sun. I drink wine and occasionally I’ll drink to excess. I eat French fries. I’ve never managed to go to the gym for longer than two months. I always forget to take my vitamins.”
“I’ve done everything but I haven’t done too much of anything,” she continued. “I’ve never had a Coca-Cola, ever. Sometimes I use hotel body lotion as conditioner for my hair. I’m not particular. Life is too short and too precious.”
