"Helen Mirren is widely regarded as one of Hollywood&#8217;s most glamorous stars, but that doesn&#8217;t mean she&#8217;s adverse to cutting her own hair.\nSpeaking to Redbook magazine, The Queen actress revealed that due to the fact that she hates visiting the hairdresser on a regular basis she cuts her own hair most of the time.\n&#8220;I can&#8217;t handle going to the hairdresser every six weeks,&#8221; she explained, &#8220;so I only go about once a year. In between, I get out the scissors and do something, usually rather disastrously.&#8221; Mirren also noted that, in the past, she has gone through this ritual the morning before &#8220;a big red carpet event&#8221; too.\nHowever, despite her brazen attitude towards her hair, Mirren admitted that she can&#8217;t live without make-up, so much so that she even puts in on every day without fail. The 68-year-old conceded that, as she has gotten older, she&#8217;s had to put on &#8220;less and less,&#8221; but she teased that she really loves plastering herself with cosmetics.\n&#8220;I love putting it on, and I get really into it: a little bit of this here, and little bit of that there,&#8221; she explained. &#8220;But then I stand back and look into the mirror and it&#8217;s awful! So I take it all off because I&#8217;ve gotten too anal about it. As you get older&#8230; you can get away with naked eyes if you&#8217;ve got red lips. Or red lips and sunglasses.&#8221;\nDespite her age, Mirren is widely regarded as one of the most out-spoken women in the movie industry. Last year she attempted to convince the BBC into casting a woman to play the titular star of the channel&#8217;s flagship sci-fi show, Doctor Who. Unfortunately for her though Doctor Who&#8217;s producers decided to stick with type and eventually cast Peter Capaldi as Matt Smith&#8217;s replacement.\nMirren also proved that she was a bona-fide bad-ass when promoting Red 2 last summer. While discussing the film she revealed that she enjoyed holding a gun, even though she is moralistically opposed to the weapon.\n&#8220;Apart from my moralistic feelings about guns, it just looked like a lot of fun,&#8221; she declared. &#8220;They trained me on small handguns, normal handguns, Berettas and all the way up to the Gatling gun, through the sniper rifles and so forth. I had an experience of shooting with real live ammunition, which was fantastic, a real education. I love being a bad ass, it&#8217;s just the best&#8230; But the more I handle guns, the less I like them.&#8221;\n"
