Russell Brand is excited about reprising the late actor Dudley Moore’s role in the classic comedy, “Arthur.”

“I love Dudley Moore! He and my dad are from the same place, Dagenham (in Essex) he revealed at the junket for his hilarious (think the rock star version of “The Hangover”) new movie “Get Him to the Greek.” He also quite likes that he’ll have a female butler (Helen Mirren) — more of a nanny — because “I prefer women. It’s these reasons: boobs and vaginas.”

And Russell kept a straight face when he announced that his “Arthur” love interest will be… Liza Minnelli. “She will be revisiting the role and I am going to have an onset romance with that woman and turn her spine to chalk.”

Truth is that newcomer Greta Gerwick, who starred in “Greenberg” with Ben Stiller, will play Russell’s love interest. “I’m thrilled to be working with her. She’s an amazing actress.”But his fiance Katy Perry, whom Russell already refers to as his “wife,” needn’t worry about his onset romances. “That’s the thing about marriage. You must be faithful, as I was recently told by my wife,” Russell admits. “There’s a compromise. You just can’t go marauding through life f***ing whoever you want, which is a shame because I actually could do that.”

Besides, who would cheat on Maxim’s Hottest Woman? On his wife’s new title, Brand admits: “On one level, it’s superficial and meaningless, but on another level, it makes me feel like I have achieved something and it massages my male ego. Right now, I feel real puffed up.”
