Academy/BAFTA/Tony/SAG/etc. Award-Winning Actress Helen isn’t the first person you’d look to for advice on how to shoo away a bear… but maybe we should reconsider that.
The actress usually wows audiences and critics with her considerable thespian skills but this time it was an audience of one that had a front row seat to a very focused, private performance from Mirren.
In the video we see a bear cautiously venturing onto the literal doorstep of Mirren’s property. Mirren begins the scene by pounding her fist on the glass patio door, then, when the bear continues to move toward the home, she breaks out the big guns and calls the hairy interloper a “naughty bear.” H.M. adds some syncopated hand clapping for good measure and the bear bids a hasty retreat from the property.
Cut and Print!
And… the winner for Best Bear ‘Shooing’ in an Instagram post… Helen Mirren!
