It comes after Helen revealed that she was ‘so excited’ for her bedroom scenes with Harrison Ford, 80, in drama series 1923.

At the 2023 Awards Season Screening Series with The Wrap, the actress divulged what it was like filming with the Indiana Jones alum for the Yellowstone prequel show.

The multi-award winner spoke at the Deadline Contenders Day Two in Los Angeles last month, and was joined by her costars Brandon Sklenar and Aminah Nieves for the live panel interview. 

The Queen star spoke about a specific scene where the leading characters — Jacob and Cara Dutton — had to be intimate.

‘I had to be in the bed with him, you know,’ she said on the topic of filming the Yellowstone prequel show. ‘But I’m lying there and I’m thinking, “I’m in bed with Harrison Ford.”‘

‘I was so excited, I can’t tell you,’ she continued. ‘I had to pretend to be cool. Don’t tell him. Promise me.’

She also gushed about the fondness she holds for the Star Wars vet, saying: He’s amazing, he really is.

‘The stature he’s held, as a major, humongous movie star, all that time, at the same time as somebody who doesn’t love the limelight. He has this interior quality about him.’

Mirren also noted his humility despite his impressive career and being the star of multiple Hollywood blockbuster franchises.

‘He’s come to a place where he can be easy with other actors,’ she gushed. ‘It’s immensely generous and incredibly professional.

‘Not remotely spoiled movie star at all. I genuinely love him,’ she added before teasing: ‘If I wasn’t married…’

In February, Ford said his costar was ‘still sexy’ during an appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. 

He also revealed that the idea of working with Mirren again was a ‘big draw’ and what made him sign on for the spinoff series.
