In an interview with Alan Cumming, Helen Mirren announced that she would retire her revered breasts from appearing nude onscreen. “That’s the good thing about getting older,” she told Cumming. “You don’t have to do that sort of thing anymore. My pleasure pillows are purely for my husband now.” Mirren added that she was never that enthusiastic about nude scenes to begin with, but “It was not the sort of thing to get your knickers in a twist about.”
Cumming also asked her about the famous Saturday Night Live sketch “Helen Mirren’s Magical Bosom” where the cast had the opportunity to worship her famously perfect pleasure pillows. Mirren said she loved the sketch, calling it “incredibly flattering.”
