With many thanks to my friend Jess, screencaptures from the Amazon Prime anthology series “Solos” have been added to the photo gallery, in which Helen Mirren starred in the third episode as the titular Peg. “Solos” hasn’t received the best critics upon its June release on the streamer, but Helen has been singled out by most to be show’s highlight – so make sure to give it a go on Prime if you haven’t seen it by now. Since Helen appears in literally every frame of her episode, brace yourself for lots of screencaptures. Enjoy.

Helen Mirren has been a guest on the 74th Cannes Film Festival’s red carpet as the ambassador for L’Oreal to celebrate the brand’s 50th anniversary of their “I’m Worth It” slogan. She attended the opening night and was seen with husband Taylor Hackford at the premiere of “The Velvet Underground”. Pictures from both appearances have been added to the photo gallery. Also, Helen has given a very insightful and lenghty video interview to France 24, in which she talks about her two wins at Cannes (1984 for “Cal” and 1995 for “The Madness of King George”) and the current state of the upcoming biopic “Golda” (which is “not set in stone yet”). The full interview can be watched in the video archive.

This might be only an insider for the Italian fans, so I had to do some research about this video. According to this source, Mirren had said: I would very much like to work with Checco Zalone. And now, the Apulian comedian has satisfied her, involving her in her latest video: “La Vacinada”. Presented on the social networks of Zalone as follows: “L’immunidad de flogge has not yet arrived, but menomal que estàs La Vacinada”. Which is, in fact, the Oscar-winning actress, chosen to play – in fact – a vaccinated lady who, as such, makes Zalone fall madly in love. For the occasion, he becomes Spanish and is called Oscar Francisco Zalon and turning to Mirren he says: «You have only had one Oscar in your career, right? Here, now you have the second ». Passion breaks out between the two, because with a “vacinada”, moreover “already recalled”, you can go back to life: “Her ankle is a little swollen, but she doesn’t do nada, non fa nada”, sings Zalon while images tell of their “love” as in an Eighties video clip. A dream relationship, because with a “vacinada” you can also go back to dancing “face to face: it’s imunizada … I aim your cuerpo with the astranenéca antiuerpo”, continues the song, while the two dance in a field of lemons. Images that reveal an ultra sporty side of the actress, 75 years old, Oscar winner for having perfectly interpreted the austere Queen Elizabeth II in 2007. And now here she is joking, explaining however, in this way, that «vaccinated is beautiful». On stanzas like: “And I don’t care what people say, also because you don’t hear it anyway … and it doesn’t matter if I find your smile on my bedside table in the morning.” She laughs, jokes, plays the game with elegance. The actress has been living for some time with her husband in Salento, a land she loves and spends on, often participating in local events to promote the area (she became an honorary citizen of Tiggiano). The video can be streamed below. Screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.
