Dame Helen Mirren has a crush on Russell Brand.

The 63-year-old actress was flattered by Russell's recent flirtatious praise for her and has returned the compliment.

She said: "I heard he fancies me. I fancy Russell too.

"I mean, who can resist a man who looks so good in tight trousers. He's absolutely lovely."

Russell vowed to seduce Helen, who is 30 years his senior, when they star together in a movie version of Shakespeare's 'The Tempest'.

He said: "I'm going to try and get off with her. It's the big time, if I can get Mirren. I am going to seduce that queen."

However, he may have competition for the actress' affections.
