"Oscar-winner Helen Mirren has admitted she loved snorting cocaine and only stopped because of the capture of Nazi war criminal Klaus Barbie.
The respected British actress, 63, who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen, told the October issue of men's monthly GQ she took the drug until her late 30s.
She only quit after the notorious Barbie was caught in Bolivia in 1983, and was believed to have been making money from the Class A drug.
Mirren said she used to take "a bit of cocaine. I loved coke. I never did a lot, just a little bit at parties.
"But what ended it for me was when they caught Klaus Barbie, the Butcher of Lyon, in the early '80s.
"He was hiding in South America and living off the proceeds of being a cocaine baron.
"And 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 f...ing horrible man in South America.
"And from that day I never touched cocaine again. Until that moment I had never grasped the full horrifying structure of what brings coke to our parties in Britain."
Mirren said she hated marijuana and once tried the hallucinogenic drug LSD but found it a horrifying experience." Sydney morning Herald.com
Woah...some people look so innocent, then they come out with mad skeletons!
