Helen Mirren reiterated in a recent interview that she is still "so sad" Kurt Cobain died before he could see modern technology.

Speaking to the The London Standard this week, Mirren commented on everything from fashion to Catholic convent school to current affairs.

Among the topics discussed in the interview was Kurt Cobain and his death in 1994 at the age of 27.

"I always say, it's so sad that Kurt Cobain died when he did, because he never got to see GPS," she said. "It's the most wonderful thing, my little blue spot walking down the street. I just find it completely magical and unbelievable."

Almost shockingly, this isn't the first time she has discussed the late Nirvana frontman.

She referenced Cobain's missing out on GPS in a 2020 interview with Oprah Winfrey, and in a previous interview with Oprah, when asked why she maintains her "energy and vibrancy" in her 70s, Mirren stated that "you have to...you either die young or get old."

"Look at Kurt Cobain; he hardly even saw a computer!" she told Oprah in 2014. "The digital stuff that's going on is so exciting."

The following year, she mentioned Cobain again in an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine while talking about her youthfulness.

"I was thinking about Kurt Cobain the other day and he died without knowing the internet," she said. "The internet is a huge movement in the history of humanity...if the price I have to pay to see the future is getting older, then so be it."

Again in 2016 she referenced Cobain when talking about her age and how she can't wait to see what technology gets invented in the future.

"If I died at 27, the age that Kurt Cobain died in 1994, I'd never have even known there was an internet," she told the Daily Mail. "Incredible things are happening all the time and I can't wait to see what comes next."

There is no clear reason as to why Mirren, 79, often thinks about Kurt Cobain and how he died before GPS technology or the internet.
