Russell Brand

March 28, 2011 Movies

Russell Brand's title character in his latest movie, "Arthur," hit close to home, as Brand tells "Extra's" Renee Bargh, he was a "mischievous monkey" who was a wild drunk. "I was crazy. I wasn't so sweet as Arthur. I know there's a dark side to alcohol. That's why I haven't had a drink for eight years," the comedian revealed.



"Arthur," a reboot of the 1981 original film starring Dudley Moore, focuses on a billionaire playboy and drunkard named Arthur Bach who puts his wealthy inheritance on the line after falling in love with a New York City tour guide, played by Greta Gerwig.

Funnyman Russell Brand is the Easter Bunny? Believe it! The actor lends his vocal talents to the upcoming animated flick "HOP" -- and he tells "Extra" he kept his humor PG.

"When they asked me to do this movie, 'HOP,' they knew I have a cheeky element to my personality," explained Brand. "But when children are present, it's not appropriate to make jokes about sauciness."

Brand plays the heir to the Easter Bunny throne who isn't sure he wants to take over the family business. When asked how he was like his character, the actor quipped, "I've got the same voice as the one in 'HOP.' That's a weird and eerie coincidence."
