Helen Mirren admits cocaine use

Oscar winner Dame Helen Mirren has admitted she used to “love” taking cocaine.

Dame Helen Mirren has admitted that she used to “love” taking cocaine in a new interview with GQ magazine. “I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties,” the Oscar winning actress explained before saying that learning that Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie had been making money from the drug in South America made her stop. “All the cards fell into place and I saw how my little sniff of cocaine at a party had an absolute direct route to this f****** horrible man in South America. And from that day I never touched cocaine again.” The 63-year-old then went on to say how her good looks haven’t always been helpful. “I've always had big t*** and blonde hair. That can be a terrible disadvantage,” she said. “Because you're not allowed to be intelligent if you're a woman with big t*** and blonde hair.”
