'Fast 8': Vin Diesel Shares First Look at Helen Mirren's Character
In June, Dame Helen Mirren surprised us by signing on for Fast 8. Now the 71-year-old Oscar-winning star of The Queen (nominated another three times, btw) has been revealed in character alongside future guaranteed recipient of British knighthood Vin Diesel. Check it out above. They look very serious and conspiratorial, and Helen Mirren's jewelry is fabulous.
When she joined the Fast 8 cast, Mirren told Elle, “I've always rather loved driving. I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive if I do drive in it.' But we'll see. We'll see how it transpires.” It would've been rad for our first look to have her character behind the wheel of a [insert name of dope car that dope car aficionados know], but we're fine to build up to that.
