Russell Brand banned from sex
London – Russell Brand banned himself from thinking about sex while filming .
The 37-year-old actor believed his character Lonny should be “unsexy” so he decided to banish all impure thoughts from him mind although he admitted it wasn’t easy.
He told the : “Your mind is predetermined to think sexy thoughts.
“Once you’ve got survival out of the way then your mind turns to procreation. That’s just a natural thing.”
However, now that filming has ended, Russell – who split from Katy Perry after 14 months of marriage in December – has thrown himself back into dating.
He said: “I’m single at the moment, I’m also dating. You know that sort of dating where you can do what you like?”
Russell – who has recently been romantically linked with MSN TV presenter Emily Hartridge – also joked he would choose Rock of Ages co-star Alec Baldwin for a boyfriend if they were both gay because he believes the 30 Rock star would take care of him.
He explained: “If I was gonna be gay I’d like Alex Baldwin to be my boyfriend because he’d take care of me. If you had Alec as your boyfriend and a burglar gets in, you’d go, ‘Alec there’s a fucking burglar downstairs mate. This is your one, I’ll do the breakfast.
“If I married a woman which I conventionally would, I’ve gotta go and deal with the burglar and probably make the breakfast and they call it progress.”
