Judi Dench's latest title sounds nothing like a dame.
The legendary actress recently revealed that her pet parrot has quite a colorful vocabulary, which includes a blushworthy nickname for the 89-year-old.
"We had a long chat just now,” Dench told the Sunday Times of Sweetie, her rescue African grey parrot. “You shouldn’t ask what she says. She says: ‘You’re a slut’, ‘you’re a slag.'"
"She has said ‘Boris Johnson,’ but she didn’t get that from me,” she continued. “She listens to the radio."
Despite Sweetie’s more eyebrow-raising nicknaming skills, Dench whole-heartedly gave the pet her recommendation.
"My God, she’s funny though. She’s very, very funny," the Belfast actress added. "Everybody should have a parrot, or a myna bird. Their voices are absolutely incredible."
The Oscar winner—who shares daughter Finty Williams, 52, with late husband Michael Williams—made the cheeky confession just ahead of her 90th birthday, and she admitted that her milestone birthday gives her conflicting feelings.
"It’s just that you get a bit nervous when everybody says 90. I don’t want to think of 90 much, I’m going to think about [turning] 29," Dench said. "I think you’re lucky to be 90."
The James Bond alum explained that her gratitude for reaching the age of 90 comes after the back-to-back deaths of two of her longtime acting peers.
"My two great, great friends, Barbara Leigh-Hunt and Maggie Smith, have just dropped off the bough in the last four weeks or so and that’s not good," she shared. "I’m able to at least get from A to B and walk about and, golly, I’ve got a great deal to be grateful for."
Ultimately, Dench—who lives in a farmhouse in Surrey with her "chap" David Mills—is taking her life day-by-day and hoping not to get too down about the state of the world.
"If you ask me what I was doing the day after tomorrow or in two weeks, I couldn’t tell you," she explained. "There’s no point having a non-positive attitude. Especially these days when there’s so much to be very, very, very concerned about."
"There are so many people who haven’t got jobs, who are just out on the street," Dench went on. "So many people haven’t got enough, I mean, that’s a terrible, desperate state of affairs."
The Tony winner is still able to find hope, like in her new quest to reach yet another milestone.
"Am I going to be 100? Well, I hope so," she said. "That would be nice. I’ll try and make 100."
