50 Cent, 42, tells how he cornered ‘sexy’ Helen Mirren, 71, on the red carpet for a flirting session
Rapper asked the married veteran British actress why she's been giving him the 'shu shu' on the red carpet - as he gushes online about how much she turns him on
50 CENT has told how he got to admire Dame Helen Mirren's "sexiness" first hand after cornering her for a flirt at a red carpet event.
The US rapper, 42, has often expressed his fond admiration for the 71-year-old British actress, who has been happily married to Taylor Hackford, 72, for 20 years.
And when they both ended up as guests at the Monte Carlo TV Festival, 50 saw the perfect opportunity to make his move.
After posting an Instagram picture of the movie star with the caption “I think I love her... she know she turns me on", the In Da Club hitmaker decided to cut to the chase.
Explaining how he stuck it on her, smitten 50 recalls: “I said, ‘You just gonna shu shu [give me the brush-off] for ever?
"'You are going to keep this going for ever, huh?’
"She didn’t say much – but her husband was right there.
"It’s her attitude, her confidence.”

Since then, the pair have posed together at the closing ceremony of the festival, giggling together as Dame Helen posed coquettishly with a fan.
Asked why the feisty septuagenarian does it for him, Fiddy added: “She just has this thing, man – this sexiness.
";Like, Hollywood – when you look at her she embodies the whole thing.”
He also gushed about her “elegance that connects to the red carpet”, adding to reporters at the site: “You find out when you see her.”
50 - real name Curtis James Jackson III - has been involved with a string of women throughout his life, none quite like Dame Helen, who's so regal she's even played Queen Elizabeth II.
He has sons with ex-girlfriends Shaniqua Tompkins and Daphne Joy, and has also been linked to Lindsay Lohan, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Ciara in the past.
Still, there's nothing like a mismatched celeb couple to make the world feel like a better place.
If they could just get over their current marriages and 30-year age gap, Dame Helen and 50 could be the new Jeremy Meeks and Chloe Green.
