Hollywood veteran Helen Mirren showed off some of her twerking moves in front of the crowd as she attended Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals Woman of the Year celebration.

The 68-year-old Oscar-winning actress, who was in high spirit after receiving this year's woman of the year title, said she had tried to twerk in her bedroom, reported Ace Showbiz.

Mirren also revealed that she is a fan of pop star Beyonce Knowles.

"I think she's quite extraordinary. I had the great opportunity to be on the same stage as her, not on the same time, but I was in the wings, at the Kennedy Center Honors, and she was performing, and I was kind of watching her prepare," she said.
 

"She had this incredible sense of concentration and energy and preparation. I was very impressed by that. Standing in the wings watching her was this explosion of energy. Quite spectacular," Mirren added.

Man of the year title has gone to Neil Patrick Harris. The 'How I Met Your Mother' star will be honoured at a festival which takes place on February 7.
