"They all have to be in the gym for three or four hours a day. Tedious. Awful."

Just last week the Woman In Gold actress spoke out about ageing in Hollywood, saying it's not for the faint hearted.

"I'm a woman that loves make-up and getting dressed up," Mirren told the Daily Mail.

"As I get older, I don’t look as good, but I don’t give a damn."

The British film star, who has four Emmys, five Baftas and two Golden Globes up her sleeve, went on to explain that she feels for today's youth, as there is immense pressure on them to have the perfect body image.

"There’s a huge pressure on young girls to look a certain way these days but, as I age, I’ve lost that incredible insecurity of youth," she said.



"All I’d say to them is that ageing is an adventure. It’s a frightening adventure because health becomes an issue.

"Growing old is not for pussies – you’ve got to have courage. But then, you’ve got to have courage in life anyway."
