Brand: 'Hollywood is like a safari park'

Rex Features

Russell Brand has compared Hollywood to a safari park.

The 32-year-old admitted that spotting celebrities in Los Angeles is more rewarding than looking for animals on a safari.

He said: "You know when you go to a safari park and go 'where are the f***ing monkeys? I want them to bend my [car] aerial'. LA is better - 'Oh my God, there's Vin Diesel!'"

The comic, who stars in the upcoming comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall, also said he bumped into David Beckham while out in America and was surprised to hear the England footballer swear.

"I met David Beckham in a nightclub by accident," Brand said. "[He was] lovely. Really, really nice. He said f***."
