1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: Jersey and Amanda gem Nation. 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,840 Speaker 2: So this is really weird. There's a bit of a 3 00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,920 Speaker 2: deep dive here on Helen Mirren's strange obsession with technology 4 00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 2: in Kurt Cobain. During an interview with The Evening Standards 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: Brave New World podcast this week, she spoke about how 6 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 2: sad it was that Kurt had passed away for certain 7 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:26,160 Speaker 2: technology had been invented. 8 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 1: Number one thing that you realize is your great good 9 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,600 Speaker 1: fortune at getting to be I'm seventy nine and you 10 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: lose people along the way. And I always say, it's 11 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did because 12 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: he never saw GPS. GPS is the most wonderful thing 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,320 Speaker 1: to what's my little blue spot walking down the street. 14 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: I just find it completely magical and unbelievable. 15 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 2: It's weird, isn't it that of all the people who've 16 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 2: missed out on things, she's picked Kirk Cabain. And that's 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 2: not the first time. In twenty twenty, she mentioned Kurt 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 2: Cobain in the context of GPS in an interview on 19 00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 2: Oprah's website, and again in twenty fourteen, she sat down 20 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: with Oprah Winfrey for her film one hundred foot journey, 21 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 2: and Winfrey remarked on Miren's energy and vibrancy despite her age, 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: and she said, there's no other way. I don't want 23 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,479 Speaker 2: to die young. Look at Kurt Cobain, he hardly even 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: saw a computer. In twenty fifteen, she told Cosmopolitan that quote. 25 00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: She was thinking about Kurt Cobain the other day because 26 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,199 Speaker 2: she was stuned he'd never experienced the Internet. She'd said 27 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: something similar to another publication in twenty sixteen, and she 28 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 2: also told The Daily Mail, if he died at twenty 29 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: seven the age, if I'd died at twenty seven the 30 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 2: age that Kurt Cobain died in nineteen ninety four, I'd 31 00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: never have known there was an Internet. Incredible things happening 32 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 2: all the time, and I can't wait to see what 33 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 2: comes next. She's obsessed with Kurt Cobain and the fact 34 00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 2: he's missed out on the internet in GPS. 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 3: I haven't think about what my dad passed away. Do 36 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 3: you ever think about that? Because your mom passed away. 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,320 Speaker 3: Your mom passed away back in two thousand and four 38 00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:07,559 Speaker 3: before before you came to work for me. You remember 39 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:10,079 Speaker 3: that that we were doing the deal, and poor old 40 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: Jennifer passed away, but she knew me and she loved me. 41 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,680 Speaker 2: You said to me. Weirdly, you said that because my 42 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: mother's dad was a dentist and mum was obsessed with teeth, 43 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,079 Speaker 2: you said that you were sad that she passed away 44 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 2: before she got to see your new teeth. I thought, 45 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 2: you know, she's missed on a lot of on her 46 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 2: grandson's she's missed a lot of my life and my 47 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 2: brother's life, but she would have been most concerned about 48 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: your teeth. 49 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,680 Speaker 3: Because she liked me. But I always felt when I 50 00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 3: was around her, I couldn't smile. I couldn't give her 51 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 3: the full jonesy because because I had dreadful teeth. 52 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 2: And she's missed out on your new teeth. I'll give 53 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 2: Helen mirror acor and see how she feels about it. 54 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320 Speaker 3: Dave Hughes look like an Osmond.

He's that on terrible things. 58 00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:04,639 Speaker 3: He missed a lot. 59 00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 2: He never got to wear crocs. Yeah, that's a big deal. 60 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 3: He's dodged a big bullet. 61 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: Well, he actually didn't dodge a bullet, but Kardashians. He 62 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 2: never had to eat a cronut, croissant and donut.
