The Huffington Post is running this story with a photo similar to the one above and the caption – “which is the real Helen Mirren?” I have to admit that I guessed wrong at first and that the real Helen’s more statue-like pose threw me off! This is one of the best wax figures I’ve seen. When you see the photo up close (and with the full outfits) it’s obvious the breathing Helen is the one on the right.

This also begs the question: what has 64 year-old Helen had done to her face, if anything? I’m a skeptic and I think she’s had at least something minor done, but that it was done well and it settled, leaving her with an all natural look. I could be wrong, though, and Helen could just have aged this well naturally. Damn her.

Aren’t these photos with Helen and her husband of 13 years, Taylor Hackford, cute? I love how he’s kissing the statue and she’s scolding him behind his back. Helen and Taylor were at the unveiling of her new wax figure at Madame Tussauds in London. According to USA Today, “The actress has been involved in the creation process and has donated the floor length black dress which her wax double wears.” Is it mean to say I like the wax figure’s hairstyle better? Helen should really look into styling her hair in that polished bob again.
