London, June 24 (ANI): Dame Helen Mirren has kept a rather sexy memento to remember her The Tempest co-star Russell Brand-his underwear, and she got into his pants, literally.

“He was leaving and he was coming to say goodbye and he had a pile of books and papers (from his trailer) and on top of all these things were a pair of bright yellow, canary yellow underpants - Y-fronts,” the Daily Express quoted her as saying.

“I grabbed them and said, ‘Russell, I’m having those as my little memento of working with you,’” she added.

In fact, she revealed: “I put them on occasionally.”

Mirren has said that she thoroughly enjoyed working with the outrageous funnyman and she can’t wait to work with him again when she plays his nanny/butler in the upcoming ‘Arthur’ remake.

She added: “He’s a great guy… He’s very sweet. He’s got a very good heart and I loved working with him.” (ANI)
