From Digital Spy comes this amusing little tidbit:”
Russell Brand has reportedly revealed that he once gave Dame Helen Mirren a pair of his underpants.
The Mirror says that Russell Brand made the gesture while he was working with the Oscar winner on The Tempest
“On the last day of filming I was running late, so I just shoved on a pair of yellow American Apparel underpants,” he told the audience.
“At the end of filming I rushed back to my dressing room and spotted a black pair and thought I’d change.
“As I rush out of the dressing room I came face-to-face with Helen, still holding my dirty pants head high.
“That’s when I heard my voice saying, ‘Would you like these?’ She took them and said ‘Thank you.’ Why? Because she was being polite – because she’s a Dame.”
Last year, Brand admitted that the Queen star drives him mad, and added “She’s so sexy and enchanting, just look at her form.”
