I can’t wait to see Russell’s version. Here’s what he thinks…

What a great idea and wonderful casting with Russell Brand playing ‘Arthur’ in the remake of ‘Arthur’.  Brand certainly has his own fast-paced wit and sense of humour.

He says:

“I am hoping that I too will get an Oscar nomination,” he told MTV News when they visited the “Arthur” set. “What I did is, I’ve pretended to be Dudley Moore for a lot of this film, because I was thinking perhaps they just might think, ‘He’s almost the exact same as him. Let’s nominate him for an Oscar.’”

Ha! I think Russell can hold his own with this character (“a loveable drunk”), by tapping into his past when he was a drunk, but is still certainly loveable.  I do hope filming is over soon so he can grow back his facial hair!

Who’s this?? That is the cloned child of Russell Brand and Johnny Depp.  I call him my son because I was there when he was created and born.  Check him out at djsteen.com

Film opens April 8th in the USA!  I’m in Australia, so maybe I’ll get to see it for free on the plane!
