Washington, Dec 9 : English actress Dame Helen Mirren has confessed that she married her husband Taylor Hackford only because of the financial benefits.

Mirren, 63, who has been married to the 63-year-old American film director for 11-years, admits that she married him only for “economic” reasons, and insists that she never had any intensions of getting married.

But she has now revealed that she is glad she did it, and is very adamant that they will both stick to their vows.

“It was never my intention to marry anybody. Economics are basically the only reason to get married, but I''m very glad I did it,” Contactmusic quoted her as telling Glamour magazine.

“I ended up loving it more than I thought I would. I love that I am committed to him and he is to me, and I am utterly convinced that we will be together until I die or he dies,” she added. (ANI)
