Hang on…Helen Mirren
in her bedroom?!Oscar winner, feted by millions, respected by her peers - and twerkista (yes, we're coining that).
Helen confided her twerking habit while picking up another gong - well, pudding bowl - at Harvard, where she was named the Hasty Pudding Woman of The Year. (The background of the Hasty Pudding Award is below but is honestly not as interesting as Helen's manner of accepting it.)
She said she had tried the bum-dance (that's ours too) privately in her bedroom and having to do it in public was humiliating, but who can resist the pressure of a baying crowd?
We think this is Helen completing her Miley Cyrus tribute:
Harvard's Hasty Pudding Theatricals is America’s oldest undergraduate drama troupe. It annually honours performers who have made an impressive contribution to entertainment.
Emmy Award-winning actor Neil Patrick Harris will be celebrated as man of the year on February 7. Last year’s winners were Marion Cotillard and Kiefer Sutherland.
