Dame Helen Mirren: I fancy Russell Brand

Actress likes the comedian's tight trousers

Dame Helen Mirren will star alongside Russell Brand in The Tempest

Dame Helen Mirren has revealed she has the hots for Russell Brand.

Last week, the comedian, 33, admitted he thinks the actress is ‘sexy and enchanting’.

And now Helen, who is married to director Taylor Hackford, 63, says the feeling is mutual.

‘I heard he fancies me,’ she says. ‘I fancy Russell too. I mean, who can resist a man that looks so good in tight trousers? He's absolutely lovely.’

Helen, 63, reckons Russell has fallen for her perfect pins.

‘My shoes have a special step built in to elongate my legs,’ she tells the Daily Mirror.

‘I don't want to be a 63-year-old wearing comfortable Scholl shoes, do I?’
