Dame Helen Mirren showed off her linguistic skills on U.K. TV on Saturday night (24Sep11) by conversing in Russian after learning the language for new movie The Debt.
The Queen star plays a Mossad spy searching for a Nazi war criminal and appeared as a guest on Britain's The Jonathan Ross Show to promote the film.
She briefly spoke to the host in Russian after learning phrases for her role - but admitted her language skills are limited, despite her family links to the country.
Mirren explains, "I haven't actually learnt much Russian. I had to learn a bit of Russian for the film I just did, The Debt, but I don't speak Russian which is sad considering my dad was Russian, but I didn't learn it at home."
