Helen Mirren: There should be an Oscar category for stunt work
Oscar award-winning actress Helen Mirren, who was seen in the latest installment of Fast and Furious, has revealed that taking the advantage of being an Academy Award winner, she begged the makers to be a part of an action film as filmmakers love having Oscar winners in action movies.
Helen Mirren was seen performing stunts in Fate of The Furious.
Veteran actor Helen Mirren has quipped that she once “begged” to be cast in an action film and used her Oscar-winner reputation to put pressure on the film bosses. The 72-year-old actor, who won an Oscar for Best Actress for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth in 2007’s The Queen, said the filmmakers “love” to cast Academy Award winners in their films.
“It was a little hankering definitely. Absolutely it was. I begged. I put it out there and then I begged. That was one of the wonderful advantages of winning an Oscar. I got to be in action movies!” Mirren said, according to Femalefirst. “Because they love having Oscar winners in their action movies. They want to bring you down,” she added.
