Helen Mirren recently shared her thoughts about ageism against women in Hollywood when asked about comments Maggie Gyllenhaal, 37, had made, in which she said she was denied a movie role because Hollywood execs deemed her “too old to play the lover of a man who was 55.” And Mirren, an Oscar winner who continues to slay the silver screen and the red carpet at age 69, gave a very Helen Mirren answer.
She called it “outrageous”. She continued saying, “We all sat there watching, you know, James Bond…as James Bond got more and more geriatric and his girlfriends got younger and younger,” she said, dancing in her seat and waving her hands. “It’s so annoying.”
