Jonah Hill: 'Brand is a good influence'

Jonah Hill has claimed that his Forgetting Sarah Marshall co-star Russell Brand is a "good influence" on people.

Speaking to PA at the MTV Movie Awards, the actor insisted that Brand is nothing like the person portrayed in the media.

"He doesn't drink or do drugs or anything like that," he explained.

"And I have a girlfriend so it's not like I hit on girls with him. He's the best, a very sweet professional and incredibly smart."

The pair are currently filming Get Him To The Greek, a spinoff of Sarah Marshall which sees Brand reprising the role of British rock star Aldous Snow and Hill appearing as record label intern Aaron.
