Russell Brand 'touched Mirren's bras'

Russell Brand has reportedly revealed that he couldn't help but touch Dame Helen Mirren's bras when he saw them displayed while shooting Arthur.

The comedian admitted that he deliberately felt Mirren's underwear on the set of the movie, knowing that she would be wearing them later.

He told FHM: "I was at a costume fitting for Arthur and they had the bras hanging up that she'd be wearing and I thought, 'I'm going to go and touch them bras'.

"So I did and she was there and she saw me doing it, she just let me get away with it. They'd not been on her yet, but they will be. I touched her boob space."

Brand also said that he enjoyed sharing a bath with Mirren for his role in The Tempest.

He explained about his first encounter with the actress: "I did The Tempest and that's where I first met her. She couldn't have been more charming, sexy, convivial and brilliant.

"She just put me at ease. I couldn't have been more willing to have a particular oedipal bath with that woman."
