Dame Helen Mirren's husband forced her to spend a night in a brothel.

Dame Helen Mirren has a crush on Russell Brand. The 63-year-old actress was flattered by Russell's recent flirtatious praise for her and has returned the compliment.

She said: "I heard he fancies me. I fancy Russell too."

Dame Helen Mirren was date-raped twice when she was younger, but never reported the crimes. The 63-year-old actress - who won an Oscar for her performance in "The Queen" - revealed she was too scared to say no and forced to have sex.

Helen said: "I was date-raped, yes. A couple of times. Not with excessive violence, but rather being locked in a room and made to have sex against my will. If a woman voluntarily ends up in man's bedroom with her clothes off... it's such a tricky area, isn't it? Especially if there is no violence. I think she has the right to say no at the last second. But I don't think she can have that man in court under those circumstances."

Dame Helen Mirren says women with breast implants look like they have fruit in their bra.

The Oscar-winning actress isn't a fan of surgically-enhanced boobs as they look "weird" and unnatural.
