What is it about the idea of rubber on flesh that is just so right? It’s not even that I want to find Russell Brand attractive. I look at photos of him – like these, from the NYC set of the Arthur remake – and I think he looks funny. He brings a smile to my face. But then I realize that if he were actually standing in front of me in this Batman costume, I would be all over him. I wouldn’t be able to help myself.
Anyway, Russell wore a Batman costume yesterday for some scene in the Arthur remake. I have no idea what kind of plot point this is, but God bless. I could watch Russell suck water while in costume from a straw all day.
Russell was also tweeting about his Batman experience, and he wrote something that may offend some. Just keep in mind that in England, “fag” means “cigarette”.

Also – for those keeping up, Russell and Helen Mirren are getting along famously, as I thought they would. Russell put up the following photo with the message “Helen Mirren has been successfully corrupted. She is also now pregnant.”
Enjoy some more photos of Russell as Batman (it’s even better from behind).

can I be the first to say “holy smokes”…
He looks… clean-er-ish than normal…

Don’t get it myself, but something tells me you should stay the hell away from comic or sci-fi conventions. For your own sake 😉
This might not make sense but, when Russell was all skeevy looking I always had the impression that he was actually really good looking and played up the nastiness intentionaly so that he would seem more legitimate as a comedian. As in people wouldn’t be distracted by his looks/the skeeviness was part of a ‘character’ he was playing. But now seeing him all cleaned up…Actually do not think he is all that handsome. Huh. Still sometimes funny though I guess.
Russell Brand is my secret ‘I-want-to-shame-f**k’ celebrity.
And I’m more of an Alexander Skarsgard kind of gal.
WHAT UTTER BLASPHAMY!!!!! I did NOT see that. THAT did not happen! I am actually asleep right now and that was a horrific minor nightmare till Keaton’s batman came down and KILLED the bastard. While Nolans batman stood by and watched like a good emo kid.
i feel he’s a fan of “batman and robin” Clooney movie!
The what movie?

I couldn’t have said it better myself .
@KatC, ITA, he was much better looking all scruffy and dirty. Like in St Trinians. Oh well.
He does look like he’s taken a bath of late, but I don’t see what the fuss is over him. He isn’t that great an actor. Come to think of it, he isn’t an actor.
The man has washed and brused his hair. I like it. I like it a lot.
I’ll be damned, he actually looks almost good looking without the facial hair.
He can be all skeevy but he sure can charm & turn on the hotness too!
Holy jaw porn, Batman! Russell is definitely looking hot here and should continue to be clean-shaven.
Russell’s ideal date is to 4uck himself. He’s Freddie Mercury and Tiny Tim’s spawn.
I think the bone structure in his face is flawless, lol, in a not-perfect-but-perfect kinda way! I know, that makes no sense to anyone but me!
Russell Brand makes homoerotic jokes about EVERYTHING.
LMAO… I just noticed that his “utility belt” was airline size liquor bottles, a shot glass, a flask and a cell phone… HAHAHA! I’m looking forward to this Arthur remake! And I loved the original!
