Helen Mirren’s Beauty Secret? Sleep!
Posted by Adam
HELEN Mirren doesn’t rely on a plastic surgeon to keep herself looking young — all she needs is some good, old-fashioned sleep!
The award-winning British actress says napping in the afternoon keeps her on fine form.
“I sleep,” Mirren told the UK’s Daily Mail newspaper. “When I’m working really hard, I don’t party. I don’t go to the bar after work. I don’t go out to restaurants. I just go to bed.
“If I’m on a film, I even try to catch some sleep in my trailer at lunchtime. I really try to sleep as much as possible. It’s very important and, as you get older, it becomes more so.”
“Although I come and go about exercise,” Mirren adds. “I do do it, but honestly, it’s not particularly a beauty thing, it’s just that as one gets older, one has to keep up one’s energy levels, and if you want to do that, you can’t stop exercising. But you know, we can’t actually stay young, and it’s ridiculous to pretend we can.
“The reality is that life goes on — tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock! I call it growing up and, to me, it doesn’t make much difference whether I’m 63 and three quarters, or 64 and a half. You know? You just carry on, and hopefully you get more sensible as you get older, which is all that really interests me.”
