It's amazing how many secrets can be found out during the filming of an evening TV show! It turns out that 30 years ago, Helen Mirren and Liam Neeson associated romantic feelings. The host of the American show Graham Norton invited the couple to ask about the details of the relationship and find out how you can keep a warm and friendly relationship after parting.
Helen and Liam confirmed that during the period from 1981 to 1985, they really were a couple and even lived together. The actress so commented on their novel to Graham Norton:
"We did not just meet, everything was more than serious. We loved each other, and lived together for four happy years! "
Neeson confirmed the words of Helen and admitted that he fell in love with the actress at first sight, and the joint work on the fantastic film Excalibur (directed by John Bourmen) finally brought them together:
"She was incredible in the costume of Morgana (the heroine of the movie" Excalibur "). I could only say: "Oh, hell! And fall at her feet. " I knew about her as an actress, and I heard even numerous stories about her eccentricities. The most ridiculous was about copying the gait of the man she liked. One day, during the filming process, I turned around and saw how she was imitating me. Everything became clear. "
Liam and Helen were a couple from 1981 to 1985
Despite the difference in age at seven, neither Helen nor Liam focused on this, but enjoyed the senses. At the end of filming, they began to live together in the London apartment of the actress. In addition, Mirren contributed in every possible way to the development of a lover's career, introduced her agent and helped to obtain roles in Bounty and Mission. Unfortunately, a busy acting life and a heavy shooting schedule led to the completion of the novel. For four years, they supported their feelings with trembling notes and surprises, but it did not help. One day, Liam found a letter where Helen put an end to their relationship:
"It hurts, but it's time to put an end to our relationship. We need to part. You have matured and changed, it's time to start living on your own. I rented you a room at the Esquire Hotel. I ask you to move there today. "
As the actors admitted in the interview, they loved each other and were hard at the break, but at that moment, it was the only right decision. For today, actors keep friendly relations and remember the novel with warmth.

Helen Mirren shared her thoughts about sexual abuse in Hollywood
The actress, one of the few who admitted that she had never encountered harassment and sexual violence in Hollywood. Mirren associates this with the fact that she began to act late and her age frightened off fans:
"I started acting in Hollywood when I was over 30 years old. By the standards of a spoiled society, I was too old and not an interesting object for harassment. But the young girls fully felt an inappropriate attitude towards them. Unfortunately, I can not name the specific names of the producers or directors, but I sincerely support the movement against violence. "Read also
