Dame Helen Mirren is in such good shape that her new film's body double is 39 years her junior.

Bosses on the set of new war thriller Eye in the Sky have drafted in a stunt performer called Fleur van Eeden - just 30 years old.

Currently in South Africa where the film is being shot in Cape Town, she told the Daily Mirror: "It's amazing to be playing her body double when I'm [almost] 40 years younger than her. But Helen looks fantastic.

"No way does she look her age - she looks amazing. I want to look like that when I'm 69."

Fleur has been a body double for the likes of Charlize Thero in the past, and enjoys meeting those she represents.

Speaking of Helen she said: "She is an amazing lady and thanked me so much for doubling her. She was awestruck by the beauty of where we were filming."

One scene in the film saw Fleur asked to race a 4x4 across rough terrain.

Aaron Paul and Colin Firth also star.
