The 65-year-old said that Thompson is a "brilliant" actress and she aspires to be like her.
Mirren told Woman & Home: "Of all the people who inspire me it's Emma Thompson, who is everything that I'd love to be.
"She's a remarkable woman and is an amazing advert for women in my profession. She's beautiful, a brilliant actress and very clever. She can write and she speaks out for what she believes in."
The actress also revealed that she doesn't go to the hairdressers unless she has to for a film role.
She explained: "I cut my own hair in my bathroom and colour it myself too - I don't like anyone else touching it. For the last 20 to 30 years, I've only ever been to the hairdressers if I've had to go for a part I've been playing."
