As if Dame Judi Dench wasn’t already our everything, the actress got a tattoo of the words “Carpe Diem” for her 81st birthday.
“That’s my motto: Seize the day. Finty gave it to me for my 81st birthday — she’s wonderful with surprises,” Dench said in an interview with Surrey Life (Finty is her daughter). “Mind you, the company of ‘A Winter’s Tale,’ which I was doing at the time, used to say that it said fish of the day.”
Dench revealed her tattoo at a recent gala on June 9 in England. You can see it in a photo of her shaking hands:
Dench previously spoke about wanting a tattoo before her 80th birthday in an interview with Good Housekeeping U.K.
“I am tempted to have a tattoo to mark my birthday. Finty’s very keen on me having one,” Dench said. “There’s an Indian symbol that I like which supposedly represents life and love and everything. One of the cameramen who worked on ‘The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ told me what it meant, but I’m a bit nervous in case I’m being set up … It might be unbelievably rude!”
The award-winning actress previously tricked film producer Harvey Weinstein into thinking she had a tattoo of his initials on her bum, though she later revealed it was just a stencil from her makeup artist.
At the same gala where Dench revealed her tattoo, she also showed off a diamond stencil reading “007,” alluding to her role as “M” in the James Bond films. Might be another great spot for a tattoo, if we do say so ourselves!
