Helen Mirren has broken her silence on an incident last year in which she was harassed in the street by a man who called her an “evil Zionist b****”.
The Metropolitan Police announced in May that they were investigating the incident, footage of which began circulating that month, as a possible hate crime. The clip showed Mirren and her husband, the filmmaker Taylor Hackford, being filmed as they walked the streets of London together in November 2025.
