London
(ANI):
Dame
Helen
Mirren
has
confessed
that
she
now
thinks
marriage
was
not
such
a
bad
idea
after
all.
The
Oscar-winning
actress,
who
has
been
happily
married
to
acclaimed
director
Taylor
Hackford
for
12
years,
revealed
she
was
totally
against
the
idea
at
the
beginning.
“I
saw
marriage
as
losing
my
independence," the
Daily
Express
quoted
her
as
telling
Woman"s
Weekly.
“Then,
one
day,
I
just
felt
it
would
be
right.
I"d
been
with
Taylor
over
a
decade.
He"d
given
me
respect
and
loyalty
and
I
trusted
him
100
per
cent.
“But
I
was
terrified
it
would
change
our
relationship.
Then
I
woke
up
the
morning
after
the
wedding,
realised
everything
had
changed
and
loved
it.
“I
feel
a
shiver
when
I
hear
Taylor
say
my
wife
and
I
get
an
enormous
sense
of
pleasure
when
I
say
my
husband,"
she
added
