By IANS,
[RxPG] London, Jan 19 - Actress Dame Helen Mirren, who recently won the best actress trophy at the Golden Globes, does not resort to alcohol to fight her nervousness at awards functions because she is scared she will embarrass herself.
Mirren says she gets tipsy easily and does not want to look like she is drunk. Imdb.com quoted her as saying: 'It's a bit of a roller coaster ride... and you can't drink. I can't anyway. I'm too scared to drink and then make a t*t of myself. It's much too scary to do that.
'Some of the award shows you do, there is alcohol on the table, there's wine and things. You have one afterwards and drown your sorrows usually.
'I've lost a lot of awards in my life. I'm brilliant at going, 'Oh, I'm so glad she won! She's fantastic! I'm a worm by comparison! I don't deserve it at all! I don't know why I'm here!''
Mirren also refuses to eat at the glitzy shows.
She added: 'You're too nervous and excited and insecure; you don't want beans in your teeth.'
