Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren may be 66, but she has a body starlets half her age envy, a new poll declared.
The British actress, who received an Academy Award for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in 2006’s “The Queen,” was named “Body of the Year” in a survey conducted by the L.A. Fitness health club chain.
The 2,000 men and women who participated in the poll picked Helen Mirren’s mature curves and cleavage over supermodels Elle MacPherson, Heidi Klum and Kelly Brook.
She also topped famous hotties Halle Berry, Jennifer Lopez, and Eva Mendes.
Mirren was undoubtedly propelled to the top of the poll by a 2008 photo showing her in a red bikini while on a beach vacation in southern Italy with her husband, film director Taylor Hackford.
“It’s great to see the public celebrating bodies of all shapes and sizes, and proving that you really can look fabulous over 40 and 50,” said L.A. Fitness’ marketing director.
Helen Mirren received 17.7% of all votes in the poll, while Elle MacPherson, 48, garnered 10.6% of the votes. J.Lo, 42, finished a distant 4th place, with just 6.6% of the vote.
Mirren has never been shy about strutting her God-given assets, once appearing topless – except for some strategically-placed fruit – in the 2003 film “Calender Girls.”
In a 2010 interview, Helen Mirren attributed her frame to hours spent exercising with her Wii.
“You can hula, jog, yoga, step – all in one session,” she said. “You need never get bored, as every day you can tailor a new workout. It challenges you, and you do it at home, so nobody need see you in those old yoga pants and torn T-shirt.”
