Los Angeles, July 18 (IANS) British comedian Russell Brand was in for a surprise after one of his fans mistook him for an impersonator.
“She rushed up and babbled, ‘Wow, you look so much like Russell Brand, you could get work as a Russell Brand impersonator,’” said an onlooker.
However, Brand was not fazed when he realised the fan really hadn’t recognised him, he decided to crack a joke.
He said: “Actually, that’s how I support myself.”
The quirky actor and presenter then grabbed his beard and declared: “This is a wig!”
The eyewitness revealed the fan was then shocked when “California Gurls” hitmaker Katy Perry pulled him into her car and the pair sped off, reports imdb.com.
Brand is reportedly being lined up to host his own radio show in America, with satellite station Sirius Radio said to be offering the star a contract “worth millions of dollars” to hit the airwaves.
