I take my dog to Primrose Hill, I let him off the leash, and he runs with reckless abandon. It is the most joy I think I\u2019ve ever felt in my life. In New York<\/a> there\u2019s not a lot of that. I don\u2019t want him to run free in Central Park; I get nervous! I get a coffee at a local place. I get a bagel \u2013 they remember me because they just see Lenny and they\u2019re like, \u201cOh yes, this is Lenny [with] that crazy lady.\u201d<\/p>\n

Unless it\u2019s a two-show day, I really just am enjoying living slowly. The amount of rest that I need is more than I\u2019ve ever needed. I sleep<\/a> for 10 hours a night. Sometimes I need a nap in the middle of the day before I go in. The thing that I\u2019m really working on is not feeling guilty for that.<\/p>\n

That is so Rachel Zegler, I may say. And watching you [onstage], I was going, Maybe it\u2019s time to go back and do something again.<\/p>\n

Time for Helen to play Eva Per\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Very old Eva Per\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

But you get it. It\u2019s one of those things where, and I felt this on Romeo + Juliet, too, where it\u2019s like [puts on a tired voice], Okay, okay, okay. And then finally you get out there and you\u2019re just like, Yes! It\u2019s like the crunchiest apple you\u2019ve ever had, and it\u2019s so good and delicious and you just want to eat it down to the core.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s the Snow White in you talking, darling.<\/p>\n

[laughs] Oh yeah, apple trauma<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apple trauma, yeah. It\u2019s unbelievable your achievements since [Shazam!]. Two movies \u2013 Hunger Games and Snow White, and all the shit you had to deal with incidentally, which you dealt with with such courage, grace and fortitude. I thought you handled all that so beautifully. I remember me and Lucy giving you advice about how to deal with publicity and stuff like that.<\/p>\n

It was very sound advice.<\/p>\n

But my God, you had to deal with such a lot. I was feeling for you so strongly from the sidelines. How old are you, 24?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m 24, yeah.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I take my dog to Primrose Hill, I let him off the leash, and he runs with reckless…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":228607,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,15666,96,15573,2839,56,54,55,97233,97234],"class_list":["post-228606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-celebrity-interviews","tag-entertainment","tag-helen-mirren","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom","tag-women-of-the-year-awards-2025","tag-women-of-the-year-winners"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=228606"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/228606\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/228607"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=228606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=228606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=228606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
