Todd at IDLITW has this photo up (he got it from COED Magazine) – apparently, it’s Russell Brand in high school. I guess this was before Rusty was a sex machine, because I do not see this kid getting laid that often, if ever. CB thinks the image might be Photoshopped, but I guess I’m buying the idea that this is one of Rusty’s long-lost early photos.

In other Russell Brand news, he was recently discussing his part in the remake of Arthur, and his relationship with his leading lady, Jennifer Garner. I thought that Garner was playing the Liza Minnelli role, but CB pointed out that Jen is playing Susan, the fiancée. Anyway, Rusty is complimenting Garner… I think…? He makes everything sound so dirty.

Russell Brand is one lucky guy. Aside from being married to Katy Perry, he gets to make out with Jennifer Garner and share a bed with Helen Mirren in his latest film, Arthur. In it, Brand plays a wealthy guy who woos lots of beauties, including Garner, whom he likens to a “fairy princess.”

So what was it like kissing his leading lady?

“There’s a brand of red-velvet cake; her mouth is made of that,” he tells NextMovie.com. “She smashes you in the mouth [in] those kissing scenes. If I was Ben Affleck, man, I’d be pissed off.”

Brand also shares some sexy scenes with screen legend Mirren, who, as it turns out, also has a naughty side.

“I was in bed with her and she was reading me one of those bedtime stories,” Brand says. “And she did a dirty version of it. She was like, ‘Toad took Frog and mounted him from behind and amounted him smoothly with a rhythmic pace.’ ”

Love the part about Mirren. You know she and Russell are hot together – and I hate that no one is picking up on it and running some huge “Helen Mirren cheats on husband with much younger married man, is The Cougar Supreme” story. It’s ageism, I swear. If Helen and Rusty were closer in age, the tabloids would be all over it.
