Helen Mirren Says Men Would Expose Themselves to Her on a Weekly Basis in Her 20s
CelebritiesDirt BagHelen Mirren claims she experienced a very specific affront from men, with great regularity, in her 20s, but that she wouldn’t classify what she went through as “harassment in Hollywood” (but only because she wasn’t in Hollywood yet).
In a recent interview, Mirren told Sunday Today host Willie Geist:
“I have never experienced [sexual harassment]…in Hollywood. Because [when] I came to Hollywood, I was in my 30s. I was too old. It doesn’t happen to you unless you’re very young.”
HOWEVER.
“When I was between 16 and 23, 24—men would expose themselves to me often, I would say about once a week…on the subway, on the tube, on the bus, walking down a road and it was like, ugh…. It’s not like you’re gonna go, ‘Oh my god, that’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.’ It’s the opposite. It’s horror.”
I guess that’s kind of the point.
