Russell Brand: Dame Helen Mirren is so sexy and enchanting

Comedian can’t wait to work with actress

Russell Brand recently split from Teresa Palmer

Russell Brand has a huge crush on Dame Helen Mirren.

The pair will star together in an adaptation of Shakespeare classic The Tempest.

And lothario Russell, 33, will use the opportunity to get close to Helen, 63.

‘She is so hot,’ he tells the Daily Mirror. ‘There’s something about her that drives me wild. She’s so sexy and enchanting, just look at her form.

'They’re going to have to hold me back when we start work. I’ll be all over her. I don’t know how I’ll get any work done.’

Helen is married to director Taylor Hackford, 63.

Meanwhile, Russell will star in a one-off TV special for US channel Comedy Central on the back of hosting the MTV VMAs last month.

‘Comedy Central is home to South Park, The Daily Show, and The Sarah Silverman Program,’ he tells The Sun.

‘I’m thrilled to have such esteemed neighbours. Particularly Sarah Silverman, whom I shall be troubling for cups of sugar and milk – breast milk.’
