You may think you're a big Fast and Furious fan, but you're not at Helen Mirren status.
The Oscar-winning dame revealed to Ellethat she'll be joining the sprawling action franchise's latest installment, Fast 8. Well, with one little caveat.
"I said, 'I'll be in it, but only if I'm allowed to drive in it,'" she said during her Elle interview published Wednesday. "But we'll see."
The esteemed actress really, really likes driving and mentioned her desire to join the massive racing franchise last year, even professing her adoration for star Vin Diesel.
"My great ambition is to be in a Fast and Furiousmovie," she told Yahoo Movies in 2015. "I sowant to be a mad driver in a Fast and Furiousmovie. My claim to fame is I always do my own driving -- I was on Top Gear, and I did [my lap] in a very good time. I keep putting it out there, and they never ask me. I’ll be in Fast and Furious 8. I have to say Vin Diesel is brilliant. I love Vin Diesel. He’s a great guy, smart — I love him. It’s partly because of him I’d like to be in one, but also the driving."
Mirren now joins a stacked cast that includes longtime lead Diesel, Jason Statham, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Scott Eastwood, Tyrese Gibson, Charlize Theron, Ludacris and more.
Fast 8 will hit theaters on April 14, 2017.
