Earlier this week, Helen gave a hilarious speech at the 2015 Gotham Independent Film Awards while accepting her Lifetime Achievement Award.

“I’ll have to you a story about The Queen,” Helen told the audience. “When the film was first screened at Venice, I’d never seen it before nor had my husband, Taylor (Hackford), and the first shot is of me completely in all the regalia and the wig and everything, and I turned to look at the camera, and my husband lets out this huge laugh because he’s never seen me dressed as The Queen before. So I leaned over to him and I said, ‘Darling do you think you’ll ever fu*k me again?’”

“Between you and me, ‘Yes’,” Helen joked. “This isn’t on television is it? Are we safe?”

‘Holmes is a bit superhuman. He’s the best. It’s a very good name, Sherlock,” Ian said about playing the lead role (via USA Today). “It doesn’t take much to imagine being him. There was no acting problem. So I suppose I was very concerned to get the age right.”

“Ian has the body of a 16-year-old. He loves his life. He’s involved politically and artistically in the world. He’s connected,” Laura added. “There’s great circulation in his life. It shows in him physically. You always wonder when someone is playing someone much older, how is that going to come together? In this case, it’s a great actor combined with a great makeup artist. It was a beautiful balance.”
