During an interview with Evening Standard’s "Brave New World" podcast, Helen Mirren opened up about how “sad" it was Kurt Cobain died before modern technology took off.

Social media users are scratching their heads after reading the “Fast & Furious” star’s weird remark about the late Nirvana frontman.

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.

There are surely plenty of things in our modern world that Kurt Cobain might marvel at had he not died in 1994 at the age of 27.

Helen Mirren says it's "so sad" that Nirvana's Kurt Cobain never got to see GPS in a recent interview on the "Brave New World" podcast.

Even if you can tear yourself away from Dame Helen’s Nirvana-based koan, there are plenty of other good quotes in the interview, including her lobbing back a “No it’s not” when Lebedev says her “spirit” is young, and noting that, while being 79 doesn’t feel “brilliant,” “It wasn’t that brilliant to be 25 either.” Helen Mirren: Treasure.

I know what you’re thinking — that’s a doozy of a headline. But there it is. Two seemingly unrelated concepts — deceased Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and satellite technology — put together by Academy Award-winning actor Dame Helen Mirren.

Although Kurt Cobain was only 27 when he died, he accomplished a lot in his few years by becoming a generational music icon as the leader of Nirvana. Still, given that he died in 1994, he missed out on a lot of modern technologies. This is something Helen Mirren apparently thinks about a lot.
