Russell Brand to cut off his ’scruffy’ hair for career sake
November 5th, 2009 - 1:52 pm ICT by ANI ( Leave a comment )London, Nov 5 (ANI): Russell Brand says he’s ready to cut his shaggy mane for the sake of his Hollywood career.
The 34-year-old denied that he was asked to visit the barber to play the lead in a remake of Dudley Moore’s Arthur, but realized that his “scruffy” locks might restrict future roles.
“I can’t keep always playing long-haired, scruffy men, otherwise my career would be limited,” the Mirror quoted him as saying.
Brand played the pony-tailed spiv Flash Harry in St Trinian’s and outrageous rocker Aldous Snow in the Hollywood romantic comedy ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’.
However, the actor will have to get a makeover if he wants to fulfil his ultimate ambition - to play France’s post-revolutionary military dictator Napoleon Bonaparte.
He said: “I was hoping one day to play Napoleon, but I can’t play Napoleon as this shaggy-haired, bearded raconteur.”
“But I did also want to play Rasputin, so that’ll be good, I can look like this,” he added. (ANI)
