Helen Mirren loves a good dirty joke
Dame Helen Mirren is a master of drama. In the 60s, she began her career with the Royal Shakespeare Company, where she appeared in such tragedies as Hamlet and Macbeth. She won an Oscar in 2007 for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II during the heartbreaking time of Princess Diana's death. But the Oscar winner also knows her way around a good joke—and she's not afraid to work blue.
At the MoMA screening of her new film The Comedian, Mirren made a dirty wisecrack to Page Six. "You know how women can't park cars?" she started, before finishing her own joke.
"It's because," she said, while holding her hands a few inches apart, "they've always been told that's nine inches."
It's not uncommon for disruptive humor to come out of the dame's mouth. She recently delivered a Christmas message on Graham Norton's talk show in which she called 2016 "a pile of shit."

Mirren once conducted an interview with Jimmy Fallon after sucking from a helium-filled balloon. She has also planted some serious kisses on James Marsden, Stephen Colbert, and Paul Rudd (after asking to "lick his face") on live television.
Last fall, Mirren joked about something much heavier than casual scatological humor. At a lunch before the November election, Mirren remarked that then-presidential nominee Donald Trump had "an enormous body" and a "small head," then grouped him in with the "dinosaurs" aiming to take over Washington, D.C.
