Russell Brand’s co-star Tamsin Egerton has revealed that the comedian is great with children… and that, when on set for St Trinian’s, he didn’t flirt once.
The actress told Yahoo, “Russell was amazing with all the kids - everyone from eight to 15! While we were waiting around between takes, he would just carry on spouting all these amazing jokes, being very witty and just improvising on the spot, he had everyone in hysterics."
Continuing to talk about what Russell was like on set, she said, "I've worked with him twice and he was very very loud then he can be quiet. He's very holistic; he would go off and do yoga at lunch time."
She also revealed that despite Russell earning a reputation as a flirt, he was always on his best behavior. She said, "He didn't flirt with me! He is very polite and respectful to all us ladies but I'm sure he is a very good flirt."
Tamsin also said how tough she’d find it if she was constantly hounded by paparazzi, like her co-star, saying, "I would hate to be papped, I feel really sorry for those people. It must be hard and upsetting. It's different for people who go on TV shows, but some actors are exceptionally private."
