AceShowbiz - Helen Mirren may not be a big fan of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians", but that doesn't mean she has no love for Kim Kardashian. The Oscar-winning actress hinted in a new interview that she loved Kim because the mom of two is proud of her body shape.
In an interview with The Sunday Telegraphs' Stella magazine, the "Eye in the Sky" actress praised Kanye West's wife for being a shameless woman. Helen said she was happy to know that there were some women who were brave enough to redefine beauty and change people's thoughts about what it means to be beautiful.
"I'm not into the Kardashians, it's a phenomenon I just don't find interesting," she said. "But - and this is the big word: B-U-T-T - it's wonderful that you're allowed to have a butt nowadays! Thanks to Madame Kardashian, and before her, J-Lo. We're also allowed to have thighs now, which is great too. It's very positive."
Helen is proud of shameless women who managed to change the stereotypes about being taboo. "When I was growing up, it was thought to be unbelievably sluttish to even have a bra strap showing. Everything was about women conforming. I love shameless women. Shameless and proud!" Helen explained.
She continued to praise other female celebrities who love to embrace their bodies. "Women were controlled by being shamed, so I love women who have claimed their own bodies: Madonna, Chrissie Hynde, Joan Jett, Bonnie Raitt. I love Pussy Riot more than anything in the world," Helen said. "They all raise their middle fingers to this epithet of 'slut.' They wear what they want to wear, behave as they want to behave."
