The extroverted British comedian plays a drunken playboy in the remake of the 1980s comedy "Arthur," alongside /*Helen Mirren*/ as his straight-laced and long-suffering nanny.
/*Russell Brand*/ told a news conference in Sydney on Thursday that "she's like, you know, a dame and a lady and so I was naturally quite respectful."
"I kind of was shy when I met her. I think she just did that to you know, break the ice: 'Don't respect me,' she said."
Brand said he's actually very polite in private, and would never have disrespected the woman who won as Oscar in 2006 for her depiction of /*Queen Elizabeth II.*/
