Harrison Ford Says Helen Mirren Is More of a ‘Badass’ Than a Dame
Dame Helen Mirren? More like damn Helen Mirren, we haven’t even gotten to the main event, and you’re already setting the bar too high. This year, the Golden Globes created a second ceremony, the Golden Eve, to honor its two lifetime achievement awards, the Carol Burnett Award and the Cecil B. DeMille Award, with Mirren winning the latter. Her on-screen husband in 1923 and good friend, Harrison Ford, set the scene by telling us that when he thinks of Mirren, he doesn’t see a dame, and she soon shows us why. ”In 1923, she was another kind of mother. The word that comes to mind is not dame, it is badass,” Ford shared to a huge applause. “And when she goes full badass, it is awesome to watch.”
It soon became obvious as to why Ford sees her this way. As she thanked Globes for giving her her first American award, she couldn’t help but make a joke about the shape of the trophy. “As eccentric as [The Globes voting committee] was, they noticed a small piece called Losing Chase that was way under the radar and gave me a beautiful golden ball. Then they followed it with another,” she teased. “And I was the proud owner of two large balls, which as you can imagine really helped me in my career.”
