All ears as Mirren reveals crush on political journalist

OSCAR-winning actress Dame Helen Mirren’s celebrity crush is BBC political journalist Andrew Marr.

Asked which living man she would like to have a night of passion with, she named the BBC correspondent. She told Glamour magazine: “I’m not sure... I never had idols or pin-ups when I was growing up — I felt it was putting yourself in this subservient role and I was never interested in that.”

The interviewer reminded her of an interview with Marr in which she claimed the awe-struck journalist “practically forgot how to speak”.
