Helen Mirren is an English actor.  She is a distinguished performer who has starred in dozens of films and theatre productions in her 50 year career.

Budweiser enlisted Mirren for one of their Super Bowl commercials.

It is a part of a campaign called #GiveADamn.

In the ad, Mirren is vicious in her disgust for drunk driving.  She actress states:

“If you drive drunk, you, simply put, are a short-sighted, utterly useless, oxygen wasting human form of pollution.  A Darwin Award deserving selfish coward.  If your brain was donated to science, science would return it.  So, stop it.”
