Dame Helen Mirren may be 62, but it seems she has no plans to stop stripping off. The Oscar and Emmy-winner, who has taken her clothes off in The Cook, The Thief, His Wife And Her Lover and more recently in Calendar Girls, says she enjoys baring all, reports the Daily Express. "I am a nudist at heart," she said. "I have been to many nudist beaches. It is amazing how quickly feelings of self-consciousness disappear. "Of course it only works if everyone else is naked too." She also reportedly revealed she has no plans to add a no-nudity clause to her work. "I have never said 'never again' to nudity and I am not going to," she said. The actress recently admitted that getting naked got easier as you got older. "As you get older, the naked stuff gets easier because it's more to do with the role than what the men in the audience are thinking. There's a liberation about it," she explained.
