Washington, Apr 28: Renowned Hollywood actress Dame Helen Mirren prefers supermarket snack to red carpet cuisine.

The discovery was made when she was spotted buying some snacks at a supermarket, while returning home from an award function.

The actress, who attended the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) TV Awards in the U. K., on Sunday night stopped at the supermarket on her way home to grab a few snacks.

The actress went to buy a quiche while decked out in her designer ball gown.

"I didn''t really fancy the dinner and hadn''t had time to get some bits before we came,” Contactmusic quoted Mirren, as saying. (ANI)
