Let’s just take a moment to appreciate Helen Mirren. The legendary actress recently stopped by The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and during the conversation, she casually admitted that she has no idea how old she really is. Can you imagine? One of the most iconic actresses in Hollywood doesn’t even know her age. Now that’s living!
Helen, with her signature charm, told Ellen, “I think I’m 73! My husband and I, we forget.” Ellen couldn’t help but confirm, “Are you sure? You’re 72?” And Helen’s response? Pure gold. “This is fantastic! I’ve just made a whole year. Because my husband and I thought we were 74 and then we worked it out and no, we’re 73. So we both went, 'Oh, fantastic, we’ve got a whole extra year!' And now I’ve got another year.” Isn’t that just the cutest thing you’ve ever heard? Forget counting candles; Helen’s living life like a free spirit.
Ellen, being the witty host that she is, couldn’t resist teasing Helen. “It does seem like you’re aging, you don’t know your age. I was gonna say you look great but you’re losing it,” Ellen quipped. But let’s be real, Helen Mirren doesn’t need any reminders about her age. She’s aging like a fine wine—better with time.

Why Aging is Cool, According to Helen
In another interview, Helen opened up about why she doesn’t mind getting older. “I don’t often wish that I’m younger because I think that it’s pretty cool to be older. What I love the most about being older is that lovely I don’t give a f–kness kind of thing,” she said. And if that doesn’t inspire you to embrace your own journey, I don’t know what will. She added, “All you young things don’t be afraid of getting older because it’s f–king great, but tonight looking at this audience, I do wish I was about 40 years younger.” Talk about honesty!
Helen Mirren’s Plan for the Future: Keep on Keeping On
Even though she’s not getting any younger, Helen has no plans to slow down anytime soon. “I see myself stopping and not working almost every morning. I never want to go to a party, I want to stay at home and watch TV. I never want to go out to dinner, I want to stay at home and watch TV. I never want to go on Ellen, I want to stay at home and watch TV,” she joked. But let’s be honest, Helen, we’re all better off with you out there shining your light and breaking records. Keep doing you, queen!
