Dame Helen oirren has criticised the amount of attention paid to her appearance, claiming she doesn’t want to be part of the pressure on women to look beautiful. The 65-year-old ‘Red’ actress says it makes her feel a “bit cross, actually” to be called a beauty role model while in her senior years. “We have to let go of this c**p. It creates even more pressure on women, and I certainly don’t want to be a part of that. I’m not beautiful; I clean up nice.” The veteran star goes on to say there are more important things she’d like to speak for. “Why don’t we talk about the fact, for example, that I just did ‘Arthur’, and the cinematographer was a woman, the film operator was a woman, the whole camera team were women? That’s where we should be putting our attention. The fact that I look good at the age I am is bloody irrelevant.”
