<p>Dame Helen Mirren has said it was &#8220;a bit of a challenge&#8221; working with Ben Wishaw on The Tempest &#8211; because most of the time he was represented by a tennis ball.</p>
<p>The actress plays Prospera in the latest film adaptation of the Shakespeare play, while Ben plays Ariel.</p>
<p>Asked what it was like working with him, Dame Helen said: &#8220;It was a bit of a challenge, he was a tennis ball on a stick for a lot of the time. But you know that&#8217;s the way digital effects work and our job as actors is to live in the world of the imagination, so that&#8217;s what we do for a living. So it wasn&#8217;t so difficult.&#8221;</p>
<p>She added: &#8220;It was better when he was there though, I must say, when he wasn&#8217;t a tennis ball. Ben is a much better actor than a tennis ball.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the actress said the hardest thing about making the film was having to wear layers of clothing in the hot weather.</p>
<p>She said: &#8220;Heavy costumes in Hawaii in the heat &#8211; there were those kind of challenges, and also demanding language, it&#8217;s really action of the brain and of the tongue than of the body.&#8221;</p>
<p>:: The Tempest is out in cinemas now.</p>
