Oscar-winning British actress Helen Mirren admits to having had a youth full of sex, drugs and… no, not rock’n’roll. Shoplifting.

The 63-year-old, who won an Oscar for her role in “The Queen,” told GQ magazine she used to snort cocaine when she was younger, but stopped taking the drug when she found out that a Nazi war criminal profited from the drug business.

“I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties,” she said, quoted by the magazine. “But what ended it for me was when they caught Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, in the early ‘80s. . . . I read that in the paper, and all the cards fell into place and I saw how my little sniff of cocaine at a party had an absolute direct route to this [expletive] horrible man in South America. And from that day I never touched cocaine again.”

If you’re thinking, “That’s quite a confession,” wait till you hear this: Helen Mirren reportedly said she used to steal during her “very poor” youth. “I needed to shoplift for food,” she explained, adding that while she enjoyed the advantages of showbiz, she still had penny-pinching impulses, cutting her own hair and wearing a-dollar-each glasses.

In addition to this, Helen Mirren sparked controversy by telling the same magazine that not all date rape victims have success in bringing their case before a court.

She said that if, for instance, a woman is engaged in sexual activity, but refuses to continue at the last minute, she’ll find it hard to bring the perpetrator to court.

The actress also admitted to having been date-raped “a couple of times.”

Ruth Hall, of the campaign group Women against Rape, said Mirren’s comments worsened the situations of women who already had a hard time in getting the criminal justice system to take their cases into account.
