Russell Brand: I need to improve my chat-up lines

Russell Brand says fame in the US has not yet helped him find love
Russell Brand has said his flourishing fame in the US has not yet helped him find love across the Atlantic.

According to the Forgetting Sarah Marshall star, a rejection from tennis great Serena Williams helped him to realise he needs to work on his seduction techniques if he is to settle down in Hollywood.

Talking on BBC1's Friday Night with Jonathan Ross, Brand said he was swept off his feet by Williams after meeting her on Ross' chatshow only for the Grand Slam winner to be unimpressed by his lothario status.

"When I met Serena Williams I thought I'd found the one, she was so powerful," he explained on last night's show.

"I thought act English, she'll like that. I invited her to my stand-up but she wouldn't give me her phone number.

"I got her email address and wrote to her, but I've never heard from her."

He added: "In America I need better chat-up techniques because I'm not famous."

Brand was this week signed to star alongside Superbad's Jonah Hill in new buddy comedy Get Him to the Greek.

After acting alongside Hill in Forgetting Sarah Marshall - out today in the UK - director Nick Stoller realised the pair had enough chemistry to work as a double-act.

And Brand's scene-stealing performance as flamboyant rockstar Aldous Snow in Forgetting Sarah Marshall was so successful that Stoller has cast him as a musician in Get Him to the Greek, with Hill to play a young insurance agent tasked with ensuring Brand's character turns up for a concert at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.End of story
