Veteran actress Helen Mirren, 72, has posed topless inside a pool.
Mirren, who has been acting for over 50 years, opened up about being called a sex symbol while going topless for the cover of Rhapsody magazine, reports dailymail.co.uk.
In the photograph, Mirren stripped off in the pool, with only the water to cover her modesty.
"I've had to come to terms with it over a long period of time, luckily it's fading now," Mirren said while accepting that she was an object of desire.
It is in the way Ali looks at Ms Dench -- his eyes soaked in a vinegary warmth that has nothing to do with lust for power or, God forbid, sex. It's the look of a guileless, but mature man who adores someone far above him in rank, wisdom and age.
