Dame Helen Mirren has revealed that she chased a black bear out of her garden after it helped itself to food left out for her birds.
Mirren revealed the property had only just been completed when lockdown was announced: “We got lockdown in one of the most beautiful places.”
In the same interview, Mirren also discussed her childhood growing up in Southend-on-Sea, her career beginnings, and Shakespeare’s relevancy today.
Appearing on Marc Maron’s WTF podcast, the Oscar-winning actor explained the encounter in the garden at her new home in Lake Tahoe, in the Sierra Nevada mountain range.
