Speaking to the Huffington Post, the actress revealed her penchant for driving on screen and stated that she also jokingly kept "putting feelers out" to get the producers' attention so she could get in on the action in Fast and Furious 7.

"I loved driving my Land Rover. I did my own sort of stunt driving, if you could call it that. I was driving through the Scottish countryside, not being able to see where I'm going because there are two cameras strapped to the front of that vehicle. So it was a kind of stunt driving, and that was really fun. I loved that. I always love stunt driving," she said. "I do as much driving on my movies as I can. If there's driving stuff to be done, I always beg or insist on doing it myself. Little-known fact: Helen Mirren, stunt driver. I'd love to be in a 'Fast & Furious' movie. I keep putting feelers out. I'd love to do Fast & Furious. I love Vin Diesel as well. He doesn't understand, I think he's so cool."
