Russell Brand: Doing sex scenes on screen is awkward

Comedian admits he worries about filming his bedroom antics

Sunday, 7 September 2008

Russell Brand feels pressurised to live up to his lothario reputation in his upcoming movie.

The comedian is starring as himself in the adaptation of his autobiography My Booky Wook.

But he's stressing over getting the raunchy bits right.

'It's difficult doing those sex scenes, very awkward,' he says. 'I feel like I really ought to put on a gold medal display of sexual moves.'

Russell, 33, says he considering asking Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, 19, to play him, before deciding on doing it himself.

'I originally wanted to get an actor to play me and toyed with the idea of Daniel Radcliffe,' he tells the Daily Mirror. 'But I thought he wouldn't be able to take all the drink. Or the drugs or fraternising with women. So I thought I should do it.'

But Russ has roped Oasis star Noel Gallagher, 41, into playing an unusual role.

'Noel will be playing a seedy homosexual,' he reveals. 'He'll be a sexually androgynous, amorphous character – it'll be mad.'
