Dame Helen Mirren ‘doesn’t want any criticism’ from her husband

OHMYGOSSIP — Dame Helen Mirren “doesn’t want any criticism” from her husband.
The 76-year-old actress has been married to film director Taylor Hackford since 1997 and insists that the pair only give each other “unconditional praise.”
She said: “I believe in unconditional praise from one’s loved ones. I don’t want any criticism from [Taylor]. And I give him unconditional praise likewise — more or less. We allow each other to do our own thing, and get on with it..”
The Oscar winning star – who met the man behind films such as ‘An Officer and a Gentleman’ while auditioning for ‘White Nights’ and ended up dating him for a decade before saying “I do” – also revealed that the COVID-19 lockdown was the first time in her career that the pair were able to spend a considerable amount of time together.
She told PEOPLE: “I’ve worked every year since I was 20,” she says. “COVID was the first time in the whole of my life I’ve not worked for six months. I know that people were suffering through that terrible, terrible time, but what was valuable for me was that I got to spend time with my husband and sit across the table from him every night for six months — which I’ve never done before — and not worry about or even think about work.”
However, the ‘Calendar Girls’ actress – who will celebrate her silver wedding anniversary with Taylor in December 2022 – also claimed that a key part of a successful relationship is having a sense of individual identity.
She said: “A really important part of love is to maintain your own sense of identity. In a way, that’s the most important thing of all, to not subsume yourself into someone else, far from it. Be honestly and authentically who you are.”
