Helen Mirren Understanding of Women Having Cosmetic Surgery.

The British actress Dame Helen Mirren looking amazing at age 64 said that she can totally understand women undergoing cosmetic surgery procedures to look and feel great.

The ‘Queen’ actress who is known to have a fantastic figure, has stripped on screen in several films in the past said that her confidence was recently tested when she was closely examined at the London’s Madame Tussauds museum by experts making a wax figurine of her.

She revealed TV show GMTV: “To be measured by callipers, every inch of you, it’s a bit intimidating. Every inch of you gets measured! It was absolutely like having yourself next to yourself. It was very weird.”

Helen has said she understands why so many women turn to cosmetic surgery to slow down the ageing process – they get bored of their features. Previously she unapproved of the Hollywood trend to go under the knife, but she’s now defending others who have operations to improve their looks.

She says, “I don’t think there’s outside pressure, I think it’s the pressure you put on yourself when you look at the mirror in the morning. You go, ‘I don’t want to look at that face any more,’ and I understand that, absolutely. I think people should be allowed to do whatever they want to make themselves feel happy.”

Helen said she doesn’t feel as if the industry she’s in concentrates on looks alone and that people should be allowed to do whatever they want to make themselves happy, and if it involves having cosmetic surgery procedures then they should have it done.
