The truth about ARTHUR star HELEN MIRREN’s penchant for a pole-dancing favorite.

One of the world’s most repected thesps, Helen shuns designer shoes for stripper heels when she struts her Award winning booty on the red carpet because she feels empowered by the height.

The Brit Oscar winner admitted she'd rather totter around in a cheap pair of high heels than don a pricey pair designed by Stuart Weitzman.

"I often buy my shoes on Hollywood Boulevard at these places that sell them to pole dancers – because they're really high,” Helen admitted.

"I'm only five foot four, so I put those little babies on and I'm, like, five foot 10 and I can strut my stuff alongside Nicole Kidman anytime."

Nicole's one thing but giant Arthur costar RUSSELL BRAND nay be another when it co mes to the tiny Mirren.
