Dame Helen Mirren slams film bosses for posting photos of naked stars online
The Queen actress said the drive for publicity has eclipsed respect for privacy
DAME Helen Mirren has criticised film bosses for putting photos of naked stars online “for everybody to see”.
The 72-year-old Queen actress said respect for privacy had been lost in the drive for publicity.
Dame Helen said: “It used to be if you did a nude scene . . . closed set, no photography.
“Now they put a screenshot on the internet.”
She also said Netflix was devastating film-makers who want their movies to be watched as a communal experience.
Dame Helen, who lives in the US and the UK, also criticised Brexit, saying. "It's very hard to see where (it) is going to take us.
"The Brits themselves ... It was an idea, and, rather like Trump's America, it was a rather nostalgic idea.
"Let's go back to how it used to be, with cricket and tea on the lawn and people being nice to each other.
"None of these horrible problems."
She also spoke about accepting death, saying: "We are all headed in that direction ... so one might as well confront it, and what better time to confront it than the latter part of your life?"
