London, April 25 (ANI): Dame Helen Mirren says that British actors are less hard-working as compared to their American counterparts.
The Oscar-winning actress described British performers as 'struggling', claiming they had to take hours off from rehearsal to learn their lines.
The 64-year-old star of The Queen was referring to the 1994 London production of A Month In The Country, in which she co-starred with Joseph Fiennes and John Hurt, although she did not mention specific cast members.
Speaking at the Brit Week Film and TV Summit in Los Angeles last week, the actress said that when the play transferred to New York months later, there were no such problems with the American cast.
"They were two wonderful casts and great productions. But in England, at the first rehearsal a lot of the cast were still not on top of their lines," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"We used to finish at two in the afternoon so everyone could learn lines. In America, by the second week the whole cast had their lines down.
"And they did a full day's rehearsal, which we didn't do in England. There were no complaints, they just took that as being what you do. I've always loved American actors for their work ethic, their absolute commitment," she added. (ANI)
