As actress Helen Mirren turned 80 on Saturday, she marked the occasion by sharing her insights on aging with OK! Magazine. Mirren, best known for her iconic roles as the Queen and detective Jane Tennison in Prime Suspect, has a unique and refreshing perspective on the inevitable changes that come with age.
Embrace the Changes
Mirren believes in accepting and embracing the changes that come with aging. She rejects the notion of "ageing gracefully" and instead chooses to age with fun and commitment. "Aging is an inevitable process that must be accepted and navigated," she says.
A Holistic Approach
Mirren's top tips for staying healthy and feeling good as she ages focus on a holistic approach that cares for both the inside and outside of the body. She emphasizes the importance of nutrition, hydration, and avoiding smoking to maintain skin health and overall wellbeing. "It’s incredibly important to feed the inside of your skin, as much as the outside of your skin," she explains.
Vitamins and Exercise
Vitamins are an important part of Mirren's beauty routine. She carries them with her everywhere and considers them the most important part of her health routine. Regular exercise is also crucial. Mirren credits her health and energy to a daily 12-minute workout developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force.
Castor Oil and Positive Attitude
Mirren also swears by castor oil for hair, skin, and nails. She uses it lightly on her hair for shine and separation, on eyebrows, eyelashes, fingernails, and skin for added nourishment and health. A positive mental outlook on aging is also key. Mirren finds it patronizing when people tell her she looks good for her age, and prefers to say she is "ageing with fun".
Upcoming Roles
Mirren's upcoming roles include Maeve Harrigan in Guy Ritchie's MobLand and a part in the Netflix film adaptation of Thursday Murder Club, based on the book series by Richard Osman. In Thursday Murder Club, Mirren stars alongside Pierce Brosnan, Celia Imrie, and Sir Ben Kingsley as one of four retirees who form a detective club to solve murders in their small town.
