Russell Brand has his hands full as he joins gaggle of bikini-clad models by the Thames

I'm taken, thanks: Russell Brand waves his finger at two bikini-wearing models who joined him in London today to promote his new film Get Him To The Greek


Something was putting a smile on Russell Brand's face today and, for once, it wasn't his fiancée Katy Perry.

The British star took to the banks of the Thames in London today for a photocall to promote his new movie, Get Him To The Greek, with an army of stunning models in tow.

Russell, once renowned for his womanising ways, didn't waste any time getting acquainted with his lady friends, who were all squeezed into Union Jack bikinis

At one point he was even seen wagging a cheeky finger at two of the models.

However, his mother Barbara was also there, perhaps to ensure her wayward son didn't get up to any mischief.

She also posed for pictures with Russell, along with her cute pet dog, at the event held at Potters Field Park, in the shadows of Tower Bridge.

Rotund US actor Jonah Hill, Brand's co-star, was another of the cast members who came along to join in the fun.

In the movie, Brand plays out-of-control British rock star Aldous Snow and today he admitted he is actually a lot like his character.

He joked that Get Him To The Greek movie makers could have saved themselves a bundle of cash by just giving him a camcorder for two years.

The comedian said his movie character of talented bad boy rocker Aldous Snow mirrored his own life.

Brand, whose career in the US has soared following the 'Sachsgate' scandal, was being interviewed on LBC 97.3 by James O'Brien.

Agreeing with O'Brien that there was much of himself in the character, Brand said: 'A clear corollary has been established and exploited.'

He joked: 'In a way, what they could have done is just given me a camcorder for a couple of years and saved themselves an awful lot of money.'

Brand also told the Mail during his photocall today that he would love to work with Jonathan Ross again.

The pair turns up to a pre-Wimbledon party hosted by Richard Branson at Kensington Roof Gardens last week in one of Ross's flash cars.

'I’d love to do something with Jonathan Ross again. I think he’s the best broadcaster in the country so I would do whatever he wants.

'He’s the sort of person you can do things spontaneously with, without any fear of consequence. Or at least that’s what history’s taught me.'

Despite having no 'no plans' to reuinte at the moment, the experience of having to resign from the BBC after his outrageous calls to Andrew Sachs, hasn’t dampened Brand’s desire to work for the Corporation either.

'I love the BBC. Absolutely love it,' he adds. So would be go back?

'I’m a bit busy so it would have more to do with scheduling reasons than anything else,' he says, cleverly leaving the door open for himself
