Helen Mirren's 'Geriatric' Fight

Helen Mirren has revealed that she has a 'geriatric fight' in her new movie The Debt.

The Oscar winning actress is back on the big screen in John Madden's adaptation of the 2007 Israeli film of the same name alongside Sam Worthington and
Ciarán Hinds.

Speaking on the red carpet at the Toronto Film Festival she said: "We call it the geriatric fight, it's a fight between two very old people and so incorporated into the fight was the sense that they are old people fighting.

"It's not like these old people suddenly become incredibly fit and active and fantastic," the actress revealed. "You know, we're old and we can't get up properly!"

However the actress admits that she did not require a stunt double for the action scene.

"We had a really wonderful fight director and he created a great fight for us. There were no stunt people involved and yes, it was all of us."

The Debt is just one movie that Mirren has waiting for release in what has been a very busy year for her with The Tempest, Brighton Rock and Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga Hoole all hitting the big screen in the next few months.

She is currently filming Arthur with Russell Brand while The Door is also in the pipeline.
