Helen Mirren Proves Twerking Is Not Just For The Young

It seems twerking is not merely an activity for the young. At age 69, actress Helen Mirren showed the world her take on twerking.

“One of 2014’s gems was watching Mirren twerk (yes, Miley-style) at Harvard’s Hasty Pudding awards in January,” USA Today reported. ‘It wasn’t very good,’ she protests. ‘I can twerk better than that. But I was more than embarrassed. I was absolutely mortified.’ But not too mortified to try it again: Mirren twerked on Live with Kelly and Michael this week.”

The demure Mirren’s twerking is, if anything, endearing as opposed to raunchy.

“However, she still cringes when presented with the footage of herself twerking,” according to ABC News. “Thank God I knew what it was,” she said. “It would have been embarrassing and humiliating to say, ‘I’m sorry, I don’t know, what is twerking?'”

Here’s to Helen Mirren, whose twerking is perhaps the classiest twerking can get.
