50 Cent reveals he’s a Helen Mirren fanboy and says her confidence is key to her appeal: ‘She’ll be sexy forever’
50 Cent has a little crush on Helen Mirren and he’s not afraid to admit it.
‘She’s sexy. She’ll look at you and you’ll say “Oh shit.” I don’t care how old she gets,” the rapper, 48, said in an interview with Gentlemen Heather.
“I don’t care what nobody says. She’s sexy,’ 50 – whose real name is Curtis James Jackson III, added.
And it’s not just her legendary beauty that the In da Club rapper – who declared LA was “done” because of the zero deposit policy – finds irresistible, as he talked about first meeting the Caligula actress, 78, at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival in 2017.
“It’s her confidence — it’s all she’s been all these years.” She’ll be sexy forever,” he said.

“Her husband (director Taylor Hackford) is right there with her, and he just goes, ‘Ah yeah, that’s exactly what she’s doing.’ But he notices what you notice. That she’s sexy,” 50 explained.
And this isn’t the first time the Many Men rapper has paid tribute to the English actress.
During a performance on Conan O’Brien’s TBS talk show in 2018, the Window Shopper singer shared that he came across the 1923 star in the south of France.
“I just saw her in the south of France… she just looked at me and something interesting happened in her eyes,” 50 recalls.
“There is a confidence thing about that by being tested and proven. She looks at you like she knows she’s sexy.’
Conan poked the proverbial bear and asked 50 Cent if he would play Mirren if Hackford wasn’t a part.
O’Brien, 60, jokingly asked 50 Cent if he would shoot his shot with Mirren when Hackford, 78, was no longer in the picture.
“As long as he’s alive, I wouldn’t say yes… it’s not right,” the rapper said. “I don’t want anyone waiting for me to be beaten off.”

Mirren and Hackford met on the set of the 1985 film White Nights and began dating the following year.
More than ten years later, in 1997, they tied the knot. It is her first marriage and Hackford’s third.
50 Cent recently kicked off his Final Lap Tour to celebrate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, Get Rich or Die Tryin.
The tour makes stops in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Asia.
