I am too old to be a sex symbol: Helen Mirren

Actress Helen Mirren says she is too old to be called a sex-symbol. The 70-year-old actress admits that one of the best things about getting older is not having to worry about being sexy and although she loved being young, ageing does not bother her, reported Female First.

"For me, one of the best things about getting older is finally being relieved of the whole sex-symbol tag. There is good and bad in ageing. Each age you become reveals a new person you've



become. I loved being young but I've enjoyed every stage in different ways," Mirren said.

"I'm not a Goddess type. Never have been. I absolutely love the goddesses. French actresses and Italian actresses always want to be goddesses. But I'm very real. In Britain we produce beautiful women. Kate Moss is beautiful but not just because of her looks; her character and personality are why she's still an icon. There's a realness about her that I love."
