Helen Mirren holds in her stomach

Helen Mirren says the secret of her surprisingly toned midriff is sucking in her stomach. The 65-year-old actress told the UK’s Woman And Home magazine that “holding your tummy in is another trick for making you look and feel good.”

“I don’t know why, but I do, by nature, hold my tummy in,” she said.

“Bits of my body are all right, but bits of me are horrible. To be honest, anything from the waist down I don’t really like.

“Four-inch platforms give you great height and make your legs look unbelievably long.

“I used only to be able to get them in stripper shops, but now you can buy them everywhere — although, unfortunately, that means everyone else has discovered the trick too.”
