Helen Mirren: Childbirth is disgusting
Helen Mirren has revealed that watching a sex education film as a teenager put her off motherhood for life.
The actress, 62, was shown the video at her convent school when she was about 14.
She confessed that she finds childbirth 'disgusting'.
'They sat us all down, girls and boys, in this horrible school hall,' she recalls.
'Then this film comes on, which is a midwives' educational film. There is a close-up of a woman having a baby... it's bloody and disgusting. Within 30 seconds, two boys had fainted.'
Helen - who is married to American director Taylor Hackford - said the film had influenced her decision not to have babies.
'I swear it traumatised me,' she tells the Daily Mirror. 'I haven't had children and I can't look at anything to do with childbirth, it absolutely disgusts me.'
