Russell Brand Takes His Work Seriously says 'Arthur' Co-star Helen Mirren

HELEN Mirren insists Russell Brand is a professional.
The Oscar-winning actress says Russell Brand who is her costar in upcoming movie Arthur  is “very serious” when he’s working.
“He’s very serious when he’s on set,” says Helen.  “He takes his acting very seriously. People don’t realize but he has done his actor training. He went to drama school. I didn’t. He’s more qualified than I am!”
Mirren who is often highlighted as one of the most beautiful Hollywood actresses recently admitted she’s a “bit cross” so much is made of her looks because it means women feel pressured into always appearing their best.
Asked how it makes her feel to be a beauty role model in her 60s, she said, “A bit cross, actually. We have to let go of this c**p. It creates even more pressure on women, and I certainly don’t want to be a part of that. I’m not beautiful; I clean up nice.
“Why don’t we talk about the fact, for example, that I just did Arthur, and the cinematographer was a woman, the film operator was a woman, the whole camera team were women? That’s where we should be putting our attention. The fact that I look good at the age I am is bloody irrelevant.”
