Russell Brand 'slept with five women a day'

Russell Brand has confessed that he used to sleep with up to five different women every day.

The comedian, whose latest film Hop is number one at the UK box office, admitted that his love life had become "silly" before he met wife Katy Perry.

"It was silly. I was having one for breakfast, one for lunch and three for dinner," he told the Daily Star. "Which goes against the dictum that you should breakfast like a king and have dinner like a pauper.

"Previously I'd been a chubby lad, but suddenly I got older and girls found me attractive. Sadly I wasn't very disciplined about it and thought, I can do this instead of meal times.My success rate was good, but again, people don't see the work that went in on the training grounds.

"I'm much happier ­presenting Oscars with Dame Helen Mirren than I am purchasing crack in east London," he added, referring to his past drug use.

Brand recently said that he has "developed a conscience".
