Russell Brand and Helen Mirren
Helen Mirren plays Russell Brand's nanny in Arthur, the film they're currently shooting together, but the Oscar-winning actress may have taken her role a little too far.
The star of The Queen was pictured today giving the actor-comedian a thoroughly good soaping down in a bathtub.
Mirren's hands were rather unfortunately placed as she helped bathe the former hellraiser, but Katy Perry has no need to worry, the moment was part of a scene from the movie.
Brand, 35, tweeted the picture to his 1,235,836 followers from the set.
'At last. A bath from Helen Mirren. Never has getting clean been more dirty,' he wrote.
In the original version of the movie, legendary British star Dudley Moore played a rich playboy - the Arthur of the title - who risks losing his inheritance when he decides to marry a working class woman for love rather than money.
Sir John Gielgud played Arthur's butler and won an Oscar for the role.
In the new version, the character of the butler has been replaced by a nanny, played by Mirren.
