In another news about the film, veteran actress Helen Mirren has already been confirmed to play a part in the eighth installment of the car racing action ensemble franchise “Fast & Furious” and she really wanted to drive a fast car.
But unfortunately for the British Dame, she would not be sitting in the driver’s seat and driving a fast car in “Fast & Furious 8.”
In a recent interview, Helen Mirren said that she really wanted to rock a muscle car or two but unfortunately there is none of such part for her on “Fast & Furious 8.”
But she is taking the bad news light-heartedly, saying that she is one of the few people on the set who knows how to drive a gear shift car. She even jested that she really doubts if Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson knows it. She said that she knows a lot and she also knows how to double de-clutch, eliciting laughter from her interviewer.
Apparently, even before she was taken on by the franchise, her role was already set and there shall be no driving at all for her.
In an interview last year, Helen Mirren said that it was her great ambition to be a part of the “Fast & Furious” franchise and she wanted to be a mad driver in the blockbuster movie series.
