Catherine the Great follows the life of the Russian Empress who was hungry for power and men. The feisty eponymous character, played by Helen Mirren, certainly knows her way around a bedroom and in episode three from the series, she can be seen getting frisky with a younger man.
In the scene, the 74-year-old actress donned a silky nightdress for the episode and kept her make-up soft and sultry.
She can be seen underneath a young and dashing fellow, who seems thrilled to be able to have some time with the Empress.
Her completely naked lover’s identity is currently unknown but she doesn’t appear to be too impressed, judging on her face.
Catherine is positively bored by his efforts and appears to be rolling her eyes.
