Josh Brolin has compared his new movie Jonah Hex to Beauty and the Beast.

The Oscar nominated actor is back on the big screen this summer as scarred bounty hunter Jonah Hex, just the latest DC character to make it to the big screen.

The characters only real human contact comes in the form of gun slinging prostitute Lilah, played by Megan Fox

He told Bang Showbiz: "It's a Beauty And The Beast thing, physically, cosmetically. But then, I think the parallel and the kinetic connection is because they're equally broken.

"Then there's also - I mean, I hate saying this, but I will - an older-younger type of thing. I don't think that's really true, but it might be."

But the actor admits that it was the prosthetics and make-up that was one of the more difficult parts of the shoot.

"The prosthetics were a pain in the ass... We did three hours of make-up a day. It was very tough, there were many different layers.

"I had a mouthpiece that held my mouth all the way back and that was attached to the back of my neck and then we did three more layers on top of that, and then I walked around with half a moustache and half a beard in New Orleans for three months. So there was nothing attractive."

Jonah Hex has struggled a the American box office over the weekend and only managed to open at number eight.
