DAME HELEN MIRREN

and Liam Neeson


I love the story Liam Neeson tells of the first time he became smitten with Dame Helen Mirren. During an interview with them both Graham Norton quizzes that 'they used to be an item'  and Dame Helen said "We were more than an item, we lived together for four years!" and Liam ever the gentlemen described the first time he and Ciaran Hinds saw Helen in her Morgana Le Fay costume from John Boorman's mad 'Excalibur' film walking towards the two young actors and they looked at Helen in full costume and then looked at each other and said "F**k!"

Dame Helen then says "You never told me that!" and clearly they are still friends and happy exes!
But then if you were Liam Neeson so you would be! Four years!


DAMN! You just KNOW what they meant huh?


I guess Helen was lucky too but heck . . . .
