Helen Mirren Is a Surprisingly Good Twerker

Helen Mirren busted out her dance moves on Thursday when she was honored at Harvard University's annual Hasty Pudding Woman of the Year ceremony in Cambridge, MA. The event, which is thrown by the university's famed theater company, featured Helen getting driven around the town with members of Hasty Pudding dressed up as drag queens and a roast of sorts, where the British actress was asked to twerk. Later, Helen told reporters that her dance moment was not her first: "I've tried in my bedroom in front of a mirror, quite unsuccessfully." The woman of the year ceremony honors famous actresses, and previous recipients have included Scarlett Johansson, Halle Berry, Meryl Streep, and Julia Roberts.
