Dame Helen Mirren followed in the footsteps of controversial star Miley Cyrus and resorted to "twerking" as she was being honoured with Harvard University's Hasty Pudding award.
The veteran actress bent over and shaked her butt for the crowd while she was being paraded around the streets of Cambridge, Mass., People Magazine reported.
'The Queen' star said that she had tried doing the erotic dance in her bedroom and it was absolutely humiliating.
The award, presented annually, is given to performers who have made a lasting and impressive contribution to entertainment.
