US actor Josh Peck has claimed some of Russell Brand's humour was "lost in translation" during last week's MTV Video Music Awards.

Brand sparked controversy at the awards ceremony when he made a joke about the Jonas Brothers' virginity, but Peck defended his performance, calling the British comedian a "very special entertainer".

"I think he's brilliant and his humour's on a different level," he told DS. "I think sometimes it's lost in translation on some people unfortunately."

Peck also confessed to admiring Brand's sense of style, saying: "If I had hair like that, I'd grow it out, no question. And the tight jeans, that's just good-looking - you want something that hugs your privates."
