Dame Helen Mirren has been revealed as the face of L’Oreal Paris but the Oscar-winning actress insists she is not gorgeous.

The 69-year-old star, who looks beautiful and natural in the images for the world renowned beauty brand, said:  “I am not gorgeous and I never was, but I was always OK-looking and I’m keen to stay that way.”

Known for her roles in The Queen and The Hundred-Foot Journey, Helen said she had always loved the L’Oréal Paris brand.

“I am truly delighted to become an ambassador and join such an impressive group of high-achievers,” she said.

“I hope I can inspire other women towards greater confidence by making the most of their natural good looks. We are all worth it!”
