Whatto! peepes......
Beautiful British actress Dame Helen Mirren says "filming sex scenes is easy!"
The internationally renowned and hugely talented star insists that filming raunchy sex scenes are no harder than doing the dishes.
The 64-year-old's newest movie, "Love Ranch", sees her writhing around semi-naked in bed with a man almost half her age...
...but Mirren, star of the "Prime Suspect" series on t.v., says "It's just another part of the job - I cannot see what all the fuss is about!"
"It's like filming a scene where you're doing the washing up," laughed the actress who played Queen Elizabeth 2nd.....
"It always seems weird to those outside of our business, but I can walk into a room and be kissing someone I've just met a couple of minutes before.
"It's what you do. You remove yourself. People just mix up real life with what you do on screen but it's completely different."
She says Love Ranch was particularly easy because her husband Taylor Hackford was the director.
"On every level I felt I was in safe hands with my husband," says Mirren, who plays the tough but charismatic madam of a brothel.
"Not just that he wouldn't embarrass me but also that he would make it realistic and natural. I didn't want it to be a fake, romantic soft-lensed moment. I trusted him to make it as true and realistic as possible."
Some of her earlier film roles include: O Lucky Man!, Caligula, Excalibur, 2010, The Long Good Friday,
White Nights and The Mosquito Coast.
After those appearances she received roles in Belfast-born director Terry George's film Some Mother's Son, Painted Lady, The Prince of Egypt and The Madness of King George.
One of her other film roles was in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover,
Her favourite film is Teaching Mrs. Tingle, in which she plays sadistic History teacher, Mrs Eve Tingle.
Mirren continued her successful film career when she starred more recently in Gosford Park with Maggie Smith and Calendar Girls where she starred with Julie Walters. Other more recent appearances include The Clearing, Pride, Raising Helen, and Shadowboxer. Mirren also provided the voice for the supercomputer "Deep Thought" in the film adaptation of Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. During her career, she has portrayed three British queens in different films and television series: Elizabeth I in the television series Elizabeth I (2005), Elizabeth II in The Queen (2006), and Queen Charlotte, the wife of George III, in The Madness of King George (1994). She is the only actress ever to have portrayed both Queens Elizabeth on the screen.
Now THAT, Lords & Ladys.....

....a DAME!
Tallyho!
