Helen Mirren topless in a tub? It's OK. You can look

Wanna see Helen MIrren topless in a bathtub? Trust us, you do. This is one sexy almost 65-year-old babe worth checking out.

The Oscar-winning actress ("The Queen") bares it all for New York Magazine to promote her new film, "Love Ranch," directed by her husband Taylor Hackford. Nudity is nothing new for the actress who has no qualms about nude and/or sex scenes. As she once put it to Morley Safer, "I'm famous for getting my kit off."

In "Love Ranch," Helen plays Grace Botempo, the madam of the real Mustang Ranch, a popular '70 whorehouse in Reno, Nevada. Hackford tried to take her to the actual brothel for some research. She declined, but admitted: "It's amazing how quickly you get into dildos everywhere and pink-feather handcuffs. Within an hour you're completely used to it." 

Mirren believes brothels should be legal because it's safer for the prostitutes. And the award-winning actress, who stunned the world with her bikini-trim figure at age 63, thoroughly approves of the over-the-top sexuality expressed by young female performers like Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga.

"I'm thrilled young girls are claiming their sexuality for themselves," she says. "I love bold women: Madonna and Scarlett Johansson--sexy and gorgeous, but not only that. And Miley Cyrus--fantastic! And Lady Gaga."

We put Helen on that list too. She may not be a spring chicken but she looks pretty plucking good.
