Gaga who? Acting goddess Helen Mirren is here to remind us that she was the original thespian wild child – by getting her boobs out for New York Magazine.

“It’s weird when your life becomes vintage, like a period movie,” she told the mag. “I’m getting less notorious as I get older. People forget that I ever was.”

Helen, who turns 65 next month, is often celebrated for her timeless beauty and acting chops, but those unaware of her early career don’t know she was causing a stir with controversial film roles in the 60s and 70s.

These days, she’s stoked that new generations of girls are out there workin’ it.

“I’m thrilled young girls are claiming their sexuality for themselves,” she said. “I love bold women: Madonna and Scarlett Johansson — sexy and gorgeous, but not only that. And Miley Cyrus—fantastic!

“And Lady Gaga. I love the way she’s elevated pop to performance art, or dragged performance art down to pop, or maybe made a wonderful amalgam of the two.

“My girls: Miley, Scarlett, Lady Gaga. My team… Yes.”
