Dame Helen yearns to play an action role

In Reds, in which she played a ruthless assassin alongside Bruce Willis, she was required to rake an underground car-park with a submachine gun.

She said: ?Using that gun was horribly fun. Us girls don?t tend to do that sort of thing too often but you suddenly get this dangerous and visceral pleasure that?s rather disturbing.?

Dame Helen?s husband, the American director Taylor Hackford, has made a number of action movies including Proof of Life starring Russell Crowe.
