Wow, first of all thank you for having me on the show The pleasure is all mine And yeah, Devdas doesn't seem like such a long time ago And each time I come back here to Cannes I get asked about the experience So I relive it time and time again And it will forever be a very very special memory But probably the best part of it all was To see how well it was embraced here And it just opened up international interest to my eyes I mean I'm sure it's always been there But from that day onwards I actually experienced Incredible interest in our cinema And people felt transported into this wonderful world Of storytelling with all the emotions in it And the music and the dance And I just feel very privileged to have been part of a movie By a brilliant filmmaker like Sanjay Leela Bhansali With a great team of co-actors And to have had the honour of sharing this with the audience And Aishwarya of course you went on to become The first Indian woman on a jury here in Cannes Helen, I know you were on the jury of the Venice Film Festival Would you ever consider being on a jury again? It's a lot of work being on a jury It's always very inspiring because you see incredible work And you see work from all around the world Here in Cannes especially But it is a lot of hard work But yes of course I'd love to be on the jury at Cannes It's probably the most important film festival in the world So you know it's a huge honour to be on the jury I will make sure that message gets out Also tonight in Cannes we saw those images there A moment ago here in Cannes 82 women walked up those famous red steps together It was their way of marking the events That have rocked the film industry over the past year Lisa Azuelos you're with us now on the set You were one of those women Yes Tell me a bit more about this initiative Well it's an initiative to show that Only 82 women since the 70 years now That the film festival of Cannes has opened And only 82 women have been selected As opposed to 1600 men As directors in competition Directors and movies in competition So today was just to show that Women are not a minority Please could you stop considering us as a minority And I think also we must consider ourselves Stop being a minority It's not only in the others' eyes you know Because we definitely are worth it really And there was some incredible women Jury president this year Cate Blanchett made a speech There was Jane Fonda who walked up there Jury members like Christian Stewart The American director Ava DuVernay Who for you has been a real role model for women In the entertainment industry? Well for me I must admit And that's why I chose her to do the remake of my movie LOL Is Demi Moore Because she was the first woman to be naked while pregnant And she at the front page of I think it was Vanity Fair Vogue or W Vanity Fair yes Vanity Fair I think And that was the first time that A woman would show that being pregnant was not You know you were not supposed to be hidden In some weird place in the house But you could show and be proud of your big belly And that you were Being a mom was like being a queen And that changed a lot And then when she was with Ashton Kutcher She showed that it's not because you're 45 that your life is over Because I think it's two big steps for women To understand the intimate life So Lisa as you mentioned you're a French film director But you did direct the remake of your own movie LOL That did star Demi Moore and Miley Cyrus What was that US experience like for you as a French director? You know being in Hollywood for a French person like me Was a dream So I kind of lived my dream already So now I have to invent a new one Maybe to do a movie with those two beautiful queens You know what I mean? Well Helen on the flip side You actually did a movie where you played a French woman I did recently yes I did a film called 100 Foot Journey I played a French restaurant owner And very very serious about food And French food in particular And meeting up with an Indian family Who were opening a restaurant across the road With Indian food And she was absolutely shocked and horrified by this So it was a comedy It was fun 100 Foot Journey Yes And Aishwarya you too have had experience Had a Hollywood film Shot in France as well Pink Panther 2 What did you learn from that experience? Anything? It was a great ensemble cast I've had the opportunity to work with And yeah we did shoot a little bit here in Paris And it's always fun returning to France I mean you all just are so loving And so accommodating And so excited about art and creativity So it's always fun here That's certainly true Helen Mirren Focus a bit now on your career You've done so many different things Over the five decades of your career You've done loads of classics on stage But in film It seems to me that your choices Have been much more eclectic You've done such a great variety of stuff Obviously playing the Queen But also an action movie Like Fast and Furious Comedies like Calendar Girls Which I just love Cartoons A kids movie coming up A ghost story in Winchester That you just did Would you say at this point in your career You're just trying to have fun? I'm having a complete fangirl moment And I'm having so much fun sitting with her So thank you Complete fangirl moment My next movie is in India Definitely Of course it's fun Yes But it's also work You know We work We get up very early And we sit in the make-up chair And sometimes it's cold And sometimes it's hot And you know Of course it's fun And it's great fun Doing movies like Red And Fast and Furious And I love watching those movies As an audience You know I love a great action movie So I kind of wanted to You know Be in that I have a very serious side Of my career as well So I thought it would be nice To mix it up a bit And you once said That you didn't want to do film or TV Before you had conquered William Shakespeare So how did The Bard of Avon Actually help you in Fast and Furious? Not too sure Not too much in Fast and Furious Really But you know I think every role you do Every part you take Every director you work with Every fellow actress that you work with Teaches you something So the whole process In my profession Is really a process of learning And it's an endless process of learning And that never stops You know And sure I've done many many different roles In many different kinds of films I never feel as though I've stopped learning And you learn from young actors You know More than you learn from older actors People often say Oh you know What did you teach them? I said I didn't teach them anything I learnt I learnt from them You know Because they're fantastic So You know It's just a process of constant learning Really And you seem like someone Who was very confident To say kind of whatever you like But always with grace With irony I find But in your past Have you ever found that This sort of free speech This free tone Might have hurt you in your career In your private life? Probably my private life But yes I have put my foot in my mouth Quite often you know But you know You have to get on with it I've always felt That it's the work that counts You know As long as your work Is good and authentic And true And dedicated The rest of it is fine You can get through All the ups and downs And the dramas And the scandals maybe Or whatever it is But as long as your work Is authentic I think that's what matters Now Meryl Streep Has called you an acting goddess And apparently the two of you are friends I heard she's sort of Your partner in crime at times What's the craziest thing That you've ever done together? Oh you know She's very very smart Meryl That's the thing You know She's of course The most brilliant Brilliant actress But she's very smart And she's got a wonderful Sense of humour We've never done anything Crazy together But she did say to me one day She confessed to me She said you know I stole your hair for The Devil Wears Prada For The Devil Wears Prada She said I stole your hair Helen we were saying before You have won so many Wonderful awards in your career As has your husband The director Taylor Hackford Who also won an Oscar Very early in his career If you were washed up On a desert island And you could only take One of those awards with you Which one would you choose And why? Oh wow That's a very difficult question Really I'd probably take The Silver Toucan Which is Yes I got that That was one of the first film Awards I ever got Before the Oscar and Cam I won the Silver Toucan From the Rio Film Festival Do you remember what movie It was for? I was waiting You know because They send it to you You know often When you win an award They're too heavy to carry So they send it to you So they were going to send me The Silver Toucan I was so excited When does the Silver Toucan arrive I can't wait It's not here yet Oh my god When's it going to get here So six months later The Silver Toucan arrives And it's very heavy in the box And I open the box up And it's basically A piece of rock Like about this big With this little tiny Silver Toucan On the top Little silver So funny I love it My favourite award ever Helen it's funny Some people might Find it hard to believe You are after all Dame Helen Mirren But you also have a tattoo Would you mind Showing us what it is Ah what's the story Is there a story Sorry What's the story behind it I got very drunk On a reservation No seriously I mean does anyone Ever get a tattoo When they're not drunk I don't know Have any of you Got a tattoo Who's got Who's got a tattoo Oh there you go Who's got a tattoo Were you drunk No Oh good for you I had to get very drunk It was done with a safety pin It was so painful Oh dear Oh my god But does it represent anything It's like a prison tattoo Does it Do you feel Yes it represents A very beautiful idea Which is basically Equal and opposite That someone can be As different from you As you can possibly imagine But have equal value To yourself So it's something I believe in life That's beautiful Equal but opposite Thank you so much Xenia Do we have questions For our social networks For our guests Yes There are actually Tons of questions Posts and comments At the L'Oréal Paris Social media pages And here's one question For Helen From Marion Marion Helen It looks like You pretty much do Everything you want Can you do One silly thing For us Live Right now Some A silly thing Right now Yes A silly thing You can do it With Aishwarya If you guys Want to do it together What silly thing I think I'll have to Do my silly thing In private Good answer Thank you And our guest tomorrow On the rendezvous Will be the great Jane Fonda As Val now is Recreating Aishwarya's look On Marion In the beauty salon We're gonna go back To you Aishwarya Talk a bit more about you Your life and your career You were As I was saying before The first Indian actress To ever achieve Real fame Around the world It all started Here in Cannes As we were saying You also became The first Indian actress On a jury here in Cannes So here's my question for you Just how much Do they yell in there?
