Helen told Entertainment Tonight: "It was Vin and his team who sort of first introduced me to Instagram.🗹 That was, like, I don't know how many years ago - seven years ago? - but it was a world I wasn't really aware of and they went, 'Oh, no, Helen, you've gotta do♋ this.'"

The award-winning actress joined Instagram in December 2016 an💎d she quickly developed a sizeable following on the platform. Despite this, Helen insists she's not an Instagram 🐷expert.

She quipped: "I'm not very good at it." Meanwhile, Helen previously 🍌claimed🐟 that she wants to "age disgracefully."

The ꦓacclaimed actress also described her life as a &quo♓t;non-stop adventure."

She told BAZAAR.com: "I don't want to age gracefℱully, I want to age disgracefully. Ageing is a cause for celebration and the reality is that it's a non-stop adve🧔nture. That's what I enjoy."

"In my experience, self-worth and confidence doesn't 🌠c🔯ome from looking inward, but from when you start to look outward at the things you can do in the world for other people.";

Helen also revealed that she and her husband Taylor Hackford both used the COVID-19 lockdown to "get as healthy as possibl♊e."

She said: "My husband and I, because we'🦂re both older, agreed we had to get as healt♛hy as possible during lockdown. We both adopted our own exercise programmes; I did yoga and he did pilates. It was a great opportunity to reset."
