When it comes to Hollywood icons, Helen Mirren really is up there at the top of the list, isn’t she?
Elegant, talented and still the height of cool at the age of 72, it’s safe to say there are few women whose advice we’d listen to more readily.
So when we heard the Calendar Girls star had been sharing her pearls of wisdom in a new interview with Campaign this week, you can bet our ears pricked up.
And Helen herself is obviously aware that we all look up to her…
‘People keep looking at me for advice of all sorts,’ she said, before adding in a self-deprecating way, ‘I don’t know. I have no idea.’
However, Helen went on to knock it out of the park by offering up some to-the-point advice that we reckon everyone could benefit from hearing, no matter their age or stage in life:
‘My advice is be on time and don’t be an a***hole,’ she said.
‘Grab your opportunities when they come with both hands, give it your all and then fake it.’
Wise words as ever, Helen.
