When Helen Mirren and Russell Brand met on the set of 2011 film Arthur, the pair became fast friends. Despite their 30-year age difference, the duo had an instant connection, however strange it may seem. She said of their friendship: “It exists in a sort of other universe, our friendship. Where there is no sex and no age difference.”

Brand told US, “I continue to be fascinated and infatuated with her, and the more time I spend with her and the more I get to know her, the more the fascination increases. She is an incredible woman.”
