London, July 28 : Dame Helen Mirren has confessed she and her husband have "horrendous" rows when they have a reunion after being months apart.

The veteran actress, who has been happily married to acclaimed director Taylor Hackford for 12 years, said coming together again makes the arguments worthwhile.

"We spend months apart and I think that helps," The Daily Express quoted her as saying.

"We have a horrendous row within days of being reunited because it's annoying to have someone else telling you what to do and then we get over that and we are really happy," she added. (ANI)
