Judi: i can’t tiktok time off
grandson keeping her very busy practising for their dance videos
DAME Judi Dench says she is really being kept on her toes by her grandson as they rehearse dance videos he puts online.
The actress, 85, who appears alongside Sam Williams in the recordings he posts on Tiktok, joked she cannot have a rest.
The pair have been a big hit on the video sharing website.
Dame Judi said: “I’m not allowed any time off.
“I’ve got to go on and then he says ‘No, we are not ready to film yet’. And I have to go on doing it until I get it right, quite right!” The recordings – performed over video chat from their respective homes – feature their perfectly co-ordinated routines.
They can be seen dancing to songs such as Relationship by US rapper Young Thug.
Oscar winner Dame Judi, who will next be seen in the Disney+ film Artemis Fowl, has told ITV show This Morning she avoids watching her movies.
She said: “I don’t like it at all. I haven’t seen A Room with a View.
“I haven’t seen a lot of films I’ve done. It’s not like the theatre, you don’t get another chance.
“You do it... then when you see it you think ‘What I should have done is this’. But it’s too late then.” She also spoke about appearing on the front of British Vogue for its June issue, becoming the magazine’s oldest ever cover star.
She said she is “squeamish” about having her picture taken.
But she added about the photo shoot: “We had the most lovely day and it was very relaxed. It was at the very beginning of the year.
“I was taken there, put in wonderful clothes and there were wind machines – that was my favourite.”
